I will give an overview of the contributions that John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton made to machine learning and artificial intelligence, which led them being awarded the 2024 Physics Nobel Prize for 'foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks'. The presentation will be basic, starting with an explanation of what machine learning is and how neural networks work. From there, I will explain the contributions that Hopfield and Hinton made in the 1980s in developing new and efficient neural networks, powering the machine learning revolution that we see now in everyday life and science.
