The 2024 Nobel prize in physics has been awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton for their work on artificial neural networks and the fundamental algorithms that let machines learn, which are key to today’s large language models like ChatGPT.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said on Tuesday (08) the scientists were honoured “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks”.
Hopfield, whose research is carried out at Princeton University in the United States, was recognised for creating an associative memory that can store and reconstruct images and other types of patterns in data.
Hinton, who works at the University of Toronto, invented a method that can autonomously find properties in data, allowing it to perform tasks such as identifying specific elements in pictures.
