Hopfield and Hinton used tools from physics to develop methods that are the foundation of today's powerful machine learning.
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- 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.
Artificial neural networks, now crucial to various fields, have advanced physics research and become integral to daily life, with applications such as facial recognition and language translation, Moons noted.
Moons said the benefits of machine learning are extensive, but the technology's rapid development has raised concerns about its long-term effects. She stressed that "humans carry the responsibility for using this new technology in a safe and ethical way for the greatest benefit of humankind." ■
1982 年，陈中维与何琇琼已经相恋一年多了，正处于热恋之中。何琇琼刚从学校毕业，踏入社会不久，而陈中维还在念大二，青春的美好在他们身上绽放着光彩。当平鑫涛第一次见到何琇琼时，心中却泛起了一丝不满，他皱着眉头对琼瑶说道：“这个女孩子太过于强势了，小庆性格老实，要是他俩在一起，肯定会受欺负的呀。” 琼瑶却只是淡定地端起茶杯，轻抿一口茶，缓缓说道：“年轻人的事情，随他们开心就好。” 言语之间加拿大pc28开奖直播，尽显从容，仿佛并不在意平鑫涛的看法。
