A Neural Turing machine (NTMs) is a recurrent neural network model of a Turing machine. The approach was published by Alex Graves et al. in 2014.[1] NTMs combine the fuzzy pattern matching capabilities of neural networks with the algorithmic power of programmable computers. An NTM has a neural network controller coupled to external memory resources, which it interacts with through attentional mechanisms. The memory interactions are differentiable end-to-end, making it possible to optimize them using gradient descent.[2] An NTM with a long short-term memory (LSTM) network controller can infer simple algorithms such as copying, sorting, and associative recall from examples alone.[1]

The authors of the original NTM paper did not publish their source code.[1] The first stable open-source implementation was published in 2018 at the 27th International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks, receiving a best-paper award. [3][4][5] Other open source implementations of NTMs exist but are not sufficiently stable for production use.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12] The developers either report that the gradients of their implementation sometimes become NaN during training for unknown reasons and cause training to fail;[10][11][9] report slow convergence;[7][6] or do not report the speed of learning of their implementation.[12][8]

Differentiable neural computers are an outgrowth of Neural Turing machines, with attention mechanisms that control where the memory is active, and improve performance.[13]
