Connectionists: 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics goes to Hopfield and Hinton

[Stephen José Hanson]

Yes, Jon good point here, and  although there is a through line from Hopfield to Hinton and Sejnowski.. Ie boltzmann machines and onto DL and LLMs

Dave of course invented BP, Geoff would always say.. his contribution was to try and talk Dave out of it as it had so many computational problems and could be in no way considered biologically plausible.

I’d like to add, in this context, a note in memoriam of David Rumelhart, who was an integral contributor to the work honored by today’s Nobel Prize.
