The term Neural Turing Machines belongs to the category of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation. Neural Turing Machines, often abbreviated as NTMs, are a special type of artificial neural network. Their aim is to help the computer to learn and remember information better - similar to a human with a memory.
Imagine a normal artificial intelligence is like a student without a notebook; it can solve tasks, but forgets a lot of things quickly. A Neural Turing Machine, on the other hand, works with a kind of "digital notebook". This enables it to store important information, access it and reuse it as required.
An illustrative example: a chatbot with Neural Turing Machine technology can not only answer simple questions, but also remember previous conversations. In the afternoon, it remembers what you said to it in the morning and can therefore respond in a much more personalised and contextualised way.
Compared to conventional neural networks, neural Turing machines are therefore more flexible and more powerful when it comes to mastering complex tasks that require real memory.
