Geoffrey Hinton
Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks
When we talk about artificial intelligence, we often refer to machine learning driven by artificial neural networks — systems inspired by the brain’s structure. In these networks, nodes represent neurons, each with assigned values.
Between 1983 and 1985, Geoffrey Hinton developed the Boltzmann machine using concepts from statistical physics. This machine could learn to identify key features within datasets. Hinton’s innovation proved valuable for tasks like image classification and generation.
John J. Hopfield
Artificial Intelligence in Action
When discussing artificial intelligence, we often refer to machine learning powered by artificial neural networks — systems inspired by the brain’s structure. In these networks, nodes represent neurons, each with distinct values.
In 1982, John Hopfield introduced a type of neural network designed to store and reproduce patterns. His concept drew from physics models that explore how small components influence an entire system. This breakthrough has since played a key role in fields like image analysis.
