Geoffrey Hinton's talk was a lot more understandable -- probably because I have heard him before and have read up a lot more on the things for which he was awarded the prize. In any case, here is an article I found today about the two contributions for which the Nobel prize was awarded:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#0b5394"><ul><li><a href="https://www.perplexity.ai/page/hopfield-and-hinton-win-nobel-MeAlPhntSDyKO4ZfQVWqbA" target="_blank">https://www.perplexity.ai/page/hopfield-and-hinton-win-nobel-MeAlPhntSDyKO4ZfQVWqbA</a><br></li></ul><div>This came, interestingly enough from Perplexity.ai -- which is an excellent example of what can be done using the results of the two awardees.</div><div><br></div><div>For reference, here are URLs to the two videos we saw yesterday:</div><div><ul><li>John Hopfield's Talk: <a href="https://youtu.be/vTurUGqD_Lo?si=NtCv14B8qTivqUzL" target="_blank">Emergence, dynamics, and behaviour</a></li><li>Geoffrey Hinton's Talk: <a href="https://youtu.be/-9cW4Gcn5WY?si=fYPnzS_d75Fn33SY" target="_blank">The Godfather in Conversation: Why Geoffrey Hinton is worried about the future of AI</a></li></ul><div>Thank you Peter Albin for finding these excellent videos for this last minute fill-in session of LCTG's weekly meeting.
