Hinton and John Hopfield were awarded the Nobel because their use of physics developed some of the underpinnings of machine learning
Artificial intelligence pioneer Geoffrey Hinton and co-laureate John Hopfield have received the Nobel Prize for physics at a ceremony in Stockholm.
“He pioneered the efforts to establish deep and dense neural networks. Such networks are effective in sorting and interpreting large amounts of data and self-improve based on the accuracy of the result,” Moons said. The work that earned Hinton, who is known as the Godfather of AI, the Nobel was completed in the 1980s, when AI was far from the buzzy technology it is today.“It was a lot of fun doing the research but it was slightly annoying that many people – in fact, most people in the field of AI – said that neural networks would never work,” Hinton recalled during an October press conference on the day he was named as a Nobel laureate.
