In this talk James introduces Turing’s notion of unorganised machines, which are randomly constructed machines that acquire useful characteristics through a process of training. He details the A-type and B-type machines, and shows how a probabilistic variant of the B-type machines realises some of the ideas that Turing began to sketch with his P-type machines (which anticipate the modern field of reinforcement learning).
