From Perceptrons to Deep Learning: Nobel Prize 2024 for Hopfield and Hinton

by Marcin Wolter (IFJ PAN, Kraków)

Thursday 6 Feb 2025, 11:00 → 13:00 UTC

Seminar presents the contributions of John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton to machine learning, leading to their Nobel Prize in 2024. The neural network evolution from Rosenblatt's perceptron to deep learning is shown, highlighting milestones like Hopfield networks, backpropagation, Boltzmann machines and later deep neural networks, which started the AI revolution.

Seminar includes practical examples of few Machine Learning algorithms, which led to the Nobel Prize in 2024. Slides are prepared in the form of executable iPython notebook and  are available at:
