🎉 Big news in the world of physics and AI! Scientists John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton have just won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics for their groundbreaking work on machine learning and artificial neural networks.
The Nobel committee announced on Tuesday: \"This year's two Nobel Laureates in physics have used tools from physics to develop methods that are the foundation of today's powerful machine learning.\"
Hopfield, based at Princeton University, and Hinton, from the University of Toronto, are celebrated for using fundamental concepts from statistical physics to design artificial neural networks that function as associative memories and find patterns in large data sets. 🙌
Ellen Moons, a member of the Nobel committee at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, highlighted how their work \"has become part of our daily lives, for instance in facial recognition and language translation.\"
From the AI that suggests your next favorite song 🎶 to the facial recognition on your phone 📱, their work is at the core of technologies we use every day!
Let's give a shoutout to these legends who have paved the way for the AI revolution that's shaping our world! 👏
This award comes just a day after two American scientists won the medicine prize for their discovery of microRNA. 🧬
The Nobel Prize in Physics carries a cash award of 11 million Swedish kronor ($1 million). The laureates will receive their awards at a ceremony on December 10th, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death.
