Nobel Prize in Physics, or Computer Science?
Much to almost everyone’s surprise, the Nobel Price in Physics 2024 is awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton, for their foundational discoveries and inventions in ML: When we talk about artificial intelligence, we often mean machine learning using artificial neural networks. This technology was originally inspired by the structure of the brain. In an artificial neural network, the brain’s neurons are represented by nodes that have different values. These nodes influence each other through connections that can be likened to synapses and which can be made stronger or weaker....
