I feel like the critique that the physics Nobel is going to computer science misunderstands the culture of physics. They aren’t ceding the prize to cs, they’re claiming it as a branch of physics

In case you're still confused, today's Nobel in physics is actually for mathematics and was awarded to a molecular biologist and cognitive psychologist. Hope that's all clear now.

i sometimes struggle with how to label my research area, because i studied computer science, but work on models of the brain now. today, i have the answer: i am a physicist

Despite the controversy about today's #NobelPrize, this is a prize for interdisciplinarity: John Hopfield works in systems biology and neuroscience and Geoff Hinton is as much a computer scientist as he is a cognitive scientist and psychologist- and now even a physicist.

The #NobelPrizeinPhysics2024 for Hopfield & Hinton rewards plagiarism and incorrect attribution in computer science. It's mostly about Amari's "Hopfield network" and the "Boltzmann Machine." 1. The Lenz-Ising recurrent architecture with neuron-like elements was published in

Well worth the read: "One of the two AI Nobels is not like the other. Hinton’s seems puzzling. Demis Hassabis’s is a slam dunk." ~ @garymarcus garymarcus.substack.com/p/two-nobel-pr…

I didn't realize that Gary Marcus coined the term "deep learning is hitting a wall" (in his March 2022 Nautilus essay). It became such a part of the lexicon I thought it was older. I should have cited him directly in the post. nautil.us/deep-learning-…
