The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton for their foundational work on artificial neural networks (ANNs). The award citation highlights their contributions to machine learning, linking ANNs to concepts in physics, such as spin models and statistical mechanics. Hopfield's research focused on recurrent networks and their applications in associative memory and optimization, while Hinton's work involved stochastic models like the Boltzmann machine and advancements in deep learning techniques. Their combined efforts revolutionized the field, leading to widespread applications across various scientific disciplines and everyday technologies.
