Synthetic Data and Generative AI

Welcome! Click any timeline box for multiple links documenting years of computing, machine learning, and AI. Uniquely framed to highlight generative AI and synthetic data. Math, demos, research, and more! The Timeline is best viewed from a computer, but all boxes are clickable from your device. 3D option is available on computer.

1943: A Logical Calculus

A logical calculus is a formalization of a meaningful logical theory. The derivable objects of a logical calculus are interpreted as statements, formed from the simplest ones by means of propositional connectives and quantifiers. Logical calculus deals with validity and satisfiability rather than truth or falsity, which are at the root of formal systems.

Rise of Alan Turing

Alan Turning, famed creator of the Turing Test, assisted during WWII with the Enigma, enabling German code deciphering. His Turing Test is also called "The Imitation Game" and assesses a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior.

N-Grams foundational research

Claude Shannon, considered "The Founder of Information Theory" was among the first to put some math calculations behind letters. He called them N-grams

Terry Winograd's SHRDLU system

This first-in-kind system was built to respond to natural language commands was named before the normal keyboard, and line two was S-H-R-D-L-U!

Computing Machinery and Intelligence

Alan Turing publishes this foundational paper, laying the groundwork for the concept of AI and language processing

The Dartmouth Conference (Workshop)

Math guys formally meet up and geek out for a month. The result? Artificial Intelligence recognized as a Field of Study

1960-01-01 00:00:01

A "very general new theory" of Inductive Inference

What is "thinking" and what is the difference between a living thing and a thinking machine? Ray Solomonoff, the father of Algorithmic Probability, asked questions for which we are still seeking answers.
