Turing was Wrong?

剛在做GP的slide,突然想到一句簡單的介紹詞,


"從Turing發明電腦以來,人們就一直想知道二進位電腦,它的運算能力極限是什麼,"

但後面卻接不下去,因為我不確定GP是否有這麼大的能耐...

於是Google大神打下key word "Turing" "Genetic Programming",

結果居然被我找到這個.......

標題聳動到不行....2006.5.8
Turing was wrong: the halting problem may be decidable after all!

Selecting programs at random from the space of Turing-complete programs ... all ?

we show that almost all of them stop.

Therefore, the answer of the Halting problem is "no", with probability 1.

學正規和離散時,每次談到Turing machine的運算極限時,

一定會直覺想到Halting Problem...
(用對角線性質,或歸謬證法證明)

但這兩個傢伙想用GP來挑戰電腦極限了,

當電腦有能力超越Halting promblem時,

我覺得離"I Robot"的幻想世界,

又向前跨進一大步...
