Understanding neural Turing machines

The Turing machine (TM) was proposed by Alan Turing in 1936, and it is a mathematical model of computation made up of an infinitely long tape and a head that interacts with the tape by reading, editing, and moving symbols on it. It works by manipulating symbols on the strip according to a predefined set of rules. The tape is made up of an endless number of cells, each of which can contain one of three symbols – 0, 1, or blank (" "). Therefore, this is referred to as a three-symbol Turing machine. Regardless of how simple it seems, it is capable of simulating any computer algorithm, regardless of complexity. The tape that these computations are done on can be considered to be the machine's memory, akin to how our modern-day computers have memory. However, the Turing machine differs from modern-day computers as it has limited...
