Standing on the shoulders of a giant
David Harel · 2012
The talk will briefly describe three of Turing's major achievements, in three different fields: computability, biological modeling and artificial intelligence. Interspersed with this, I will explain how each of them directly motivated and inspired me to carry out a variety of research projects over a period of 30 years, the results of which can all be viewed humbly as extensions and generalizations of Turing's pioneering and ingenious insights.
