HUN-REN Wigner RCP RMI Discovering physics in the 2024 Nobel prize for 
physics

Tuesday, 26 November 2024, 14:00, KFKI Campus, Bldg. 1, 2nd floor, 
Conference Room

For many, it came as a surprise that the Nobel Prize in Physics was 
awarded to a pair of researchers who were not known to physics but were 
instead champions of other, albeit interdisciplinary, fields: 
computational neuroscience and machine learning. In this talk I will 
attempt to merge my expertise in these two fields and my background in 
physics to highlight the critical contributions the awardees made 
through the application of the tool set of statistical physics. I intend 
to explain how the humble Ising model penetrated to research in memory, 
driving neuroscience experiments in rodents, and how it is reimagined to 
form the basis of a major field in machine learning, unsupervised 
learning.

MINDEN ÉRDEKLŐDŐT SZÍVESEN LÁTUNK! - EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO ATTEND.
