Nobel Prize for Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton

I wanted to understand the work of the Nobel Prize for Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton - “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

The paper posted by Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in the introduction says:

This year’s laureates used tools from physics to construct methods that helped lay the foundation for today’s powerful machine learning. John Hopfield created a structure that can store and reconstruct information. Geoffrey Hinton invented a method that can independently discover properties in data and which has become important for the large artificial neural networks now in use.

So here’s the podcast with NotebookLM.
