this year's nobel prize in physics is actually going to the masterminds behind chatgpt. john hopfield and geoffrey hinton are the winners for their groundbreaking work in machine learning and neural networks.
these two scientists used fundamental physics principles to develop methods that form the foundation of today's powerful machine learning. john hopfield created an associative memory that can store and recreate patterns like images in data. geoffrey hinton invented a method that can autonomously discover features in data, enabling tasks like identifying specific objects in images.
at a time when ai has become so embedded in our lives, i think it's safe to say this is a well-deserved award.
nice: all
