Internet talk-show with the protagonists of scientific research in Milan

Wednesday November 6th, from 6 to 8 pm

Urban Center, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, Milano, MI 20123, Italy

Milan is at the core of Italian scientific research. Every day its universities and research centers work with European institutes in range of international projects. Together with fashion industry and design, research is thus an excellence that connect the city to the rest of the world and may represent a relevant incentive for the relaunch of the whole Country. Meanwhile, however, some important research centers are forced to close or reshape, whilst contrasting news raise concerns about public funds for health and basic research.

The event will be the occasion to present a study from Scienceonthenet about the degree of internalization of the resarch that comes from Milan. Such an overview may allow to identify new strategies for the development and the strengthening of the scientific and technologic endowment of the city.

Why have neural networks won the Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry?

di Chiara Sabelli
Pubblicato il 15/10/2024

This year, Artificial Intelligence played a leading role in the Nobel Prizes for Physics and Chemistry. More specifically, it would be better to say machine learning and neural networks, thanks to whose development we now have systems ranging from image recognition to generative AI like Chat-GPT. In this article, Chiara Sabelli tells the story of the research that led physicist and biologist John J. Hopfield and computer scientist and neuroscientist Geoffrey Hinton to lay the foundations of current machine learning.

Physics

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John J. Hopfield, an American physicist and biologist from Princeton University, and to Geoffrey Hinton, a British computer scientist and neuroscientist from the University of Toronto, for utilizing tools from statistical physics in the development of methods underlying today's powerful machine learning technologies.
