Two scientists win Nobel Prize in Physics

Two scientists win Nobel Prize in Physics

Stockholm, Oct 8 (UNI) The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics went to two scientists, John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton, for their foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced on Tuesday.
This year's laureates for the prize "used fundamental concepts from statistical physics to design artificial neural networks that function as associative memories and find patterns in large data sets," said Ellen Moons, chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics.
Hopfield works at Princeton University and Hinton at the University of Toronto. They used tools from physics to develop methods that are the foundation of today's powerful machine learning, the academy said in a press release.
