The winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics have been announced. Building the foundation for today’s powerful machine learning models using tools from physics John Hopveld And Geoffrey Hintonwas awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2024.

When we talk about artificial intelligence, we usually do that artificial neural networks we mean. This technology allows the creation of more advanced and effective artificial intelligence models by taking the structure of the brain as an example. In artificial neural networks, brain neurons are represented by nodes with different values. These nodes communicate with each other through connections that can be compared to synapses, and these connections can be strengthened or removed.

They won a prize of 11 million Swedish crowns

Two scientists Nobel Prize in Physics together with 11 million Swedish krona (36 million 363 thousand TL) was also entitled to the award. This prize will be divided equally among the winners in cases where there is more than one winner. This year’s prize winners, the American John Hopfield, is a professor at Princeton University, and the British Geoffrey Hinton is a professor at the University of Toronto.

Chairman of the Nobel Committee for Physics Ellen Maans, “The work of the laureates has already yielded major benefits. In physics we use artificial neural networks in all kinds of areas, such as the development of new materials with specific properties.” he said.

The duo’s work has been used for years in research in the field of artificial intelligence.
