Memorandum on Probabilistic Machines, 1954
This paper describes “Turing-type computing machines” and how their operation could depend on the output of a “random device.”
Christian White:
“Because of the grammatical structure of language, there are only so many possibilities that language can go off with. And therefore, if you’re able to process that, you can make predictions about what language will do using theories of probability. You then get the comprehensibility of language, and—ultimately—you’re on the path natural language producing AI.”
