John J. Hopfield

Princeton University, NJ, USA

Geoffrey E. Hinton

“for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks”

@astyerche Resolves Yes.

Which Nobel prize? There are only five:

• Physics

• Chemistry

• Physiology and Medicine

• Literature

• Peace

What exactly qualifies research to be "on AI/ML"? Does it count if they used ML classifiers at any point, or does it have to be about the concept of AI/ML specifically?

@Richard96f0 if it was a significant part of their results then yes, i.e. the results they're getting the award for was mostly through ML.
