Nobel Prize Winners in Physics Announced
On October 8, the Nobel Prize Committee announced the names of the laureates in the field of Physics. The 2024 laureates are John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton. They were awarded the prize for their research on machine learning and artificial neural networks.
John Hopfield, in 1982, discovered the “Hopfield Network,” one of the first models of artificial neural networks based on the working mechanisms of biological neurons.
Geoffrey Hinton, known as the “Godfather of Artificial Intelligence,” advanced the “Boltzmann Machine” through his work.
Their research has had a significant impact on the creation and development of artificial intelligence.
