Aneural Turing machine(NTM) is arecurrent neural networkmodel of aTuring machine. The approach was published byAlex Graveset al. in 2014.[1]NTMs combine the fuzzypattern matchingcapabilities ofneural networkswith thealgorithmicpower ofprogrammable computers. An NTM has a neural network controller coupled toexternal me...
