Princeton University professor John Hopfield has been awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics "for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.

"In physics, we use artificial neural networks in a vast range of areas, such as developing new materials with specific properties." Princeton said Hopfield learned he was awarded the prize at a ...

The researchers, who will share the 11 million Swedish kronor (just over $1 million) prize, drew inspiration from our brains’ own neural pathways and combined them with concepts from physics to ...

Whereas Hopfield used a network with just 30 nodes – with fewer than 500 parameters linking them – today’s networks, such as those used to power Chat GPT, can contain more than one trillion ...

Apart from his work on neural networks, in 1974 Hopfield proposed the concept known as kinetic proofreading, which highlights how biochemical processes, such as DNA replication, can be highly ...

In 1982 physicist John Hopfield translated this theoretical neuroscience concept into the artificial intelligence realm, with the formulation of the Hopfield network.

Princeton Professor Emeritus John Hopfield was awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks,” ...

Whereas Hopfield used a network with just 30 nodes – with fewer than 500 parameters linking them – today’s networks, such as those used to power Chat GPT, can contain more than one trillion ...

Hopfield won the Nobel Prize for his work in 2024. However, according to Bullo and collaborators Simone Betteti, Giacomo Baggio and Sandro Zampieri at the University of Padua in Italy, the traditional ...
