A talk given at this period incorporated some proposals which started off like an office filing system, or indeed the 'intelligence' of Hut 4:
在这个时期的一次讲话中,他基于办公室的文件管理工作,提出了一些想法,实际上这些工作就是当年4号营房的"智能":
The machine would incorporate a memory... It would simply be a list of all the statements that had been made to it or by it, and all the moves it had made and the cards it had played in its games.
机器是有记忆的……它可以记下它经历过的所有状态,比如它下棋时走过的每一步,或者打牌时打出的每张牌。
These would be listed in chronological order.
这些可以按照时间顺序排列。
Besides this straightforward memory there would be a number of 'indexes of experiences'.
除了这种简单的记忆之外,机器还应该有一个"经验索引表",
To explain this idea I will suggest the form which one such index might possibly take.
我来解释一下这种索引表的形式,
It might be an alphabetical index of the words that had been used, so that they could be looked up in the memory.
它可以按照字母顺列排列,这样就可以对记忆进行搜索。
At comparatively late stages of education the memory might be extended to include important parts of the configuration of the machine at each moment, or in other words it would begin to remember what its thoughts had been.
在训练过程的后期,机器的记忆覆盖了它经历过的每一时刻的状态,换句话来说,它记住了它曾经的所有想法。
This would give rise to fruitful new forms of indexing.
这将是一个非常有用的新型索引表...
In many ways what he was doing was to work out his own theory of psychology, with the machine (mostly in imagination) as the stage on which it could be played.
从某种意义来说,图灵是在研究一种机器心理学,但这种机器主要存在于他的想象中。
The Inaugural Conference of the Manchester computer, from 9 to 12 July 1951, to which Alan returned after a holiday abroad, was a more mundane occasion.
1951年7月9日到12日,曼彻斯特大学举行了计算机发布仪式。这时图灵刚从国外度假回来,
Alan gave one of the talks. a dull one on the Manchester machine code, with all the gory detail of the base-32 backwards arithmetic.
他做了一场枯燥无趣的报告,关于曼彻斯特机的机器编码,以及32进制算术的一些细节问题。
But Wilkes was the star, with 'micro-programming', an elegant new system for the design of control and arithmetic hardware.
这场活动的焦点并不是他,而是威尔克斯,他的讲话关于"微程序",这是一种新型的控制和运算硬件系统。
