​Nobel Prize in Physics 2024

On 8^th October 2024, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton for their pioneering work in artificial neural networks (ANNs), a breakthrough that has transformed machine learning and its applications in various fields.

• John Hopfield, a Princeton professor, introduced the Hopfield network, a type of recurrent neural network.
• His work used Hebbian learning, a neuropsychological principle, to explain how neurons strengthen connections, leading to significant advances in data processing and pattern recognition.
• Geoffrey Hinton, a professor at the University of Toronto, expanded on Hopfield’s ideas by creating restricted Boltzmann machines.
• This allowed the development of deep learning algorithms ....
