The Nobel committee has determined the laureates of the prize in the field of physics
On Tuesday, October 8, the Nobel Committee determined the laureates of the prize in the field of physics. They were John Hopfield and Geoffrey Everest Ginton for “fundamental discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning using artificial neural networks.”
This was reported by the press service of the Nobel Foundation.
Two of this year’s Nobel Prize winners in physics have used the tools of physics to develop methods that are the foundation of today’s powerful machine learning. John Hopfield created an associative memory that can store and reconstruct images and other types of patterns in data.
Geoffrey Ginton invented a method that can autonomously find properties in data and thus perform tasks such as identifying specific elements in images.
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, brain neurons are represented by nodes that have different values. These nodes influence each other through connections that can be made stronger or weaker.
The network learns, for example, by developing stronger connections between nodes with high simultaneous values. This year’s honorees have done seminal work on artificial neural networks since the 1980s.
Reference
The Nobel Prize in Physics is the highest award for scientific achievements in physics, awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm. The award is one of those established in accordance with the will of the Swedish entrepreneur, inventor of dynamite and philanthropist Alfred Nobel.
The first Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Wilhelm Röntgen “in recognition of extremely important services to science”, manifested in the discovery of rays, which were later named in his honor.
We will remind you that on Monday, October 7, the Nobel week started, during which the laureates of this prize for the current year will be determined.
