Nobel in Physics 2024: How can physics and machine learning related?

259 viewsOtherPhysics

Hi I just see the Nobel in Physics announcement. It seems that I’m not the only person who is confused about this. I have an okay understanding of machine learning but I don’t know physics that much. No hate, or gatekeeping science field. Just genuinely curious. TIA.

I would argue that anything related to computation or computer science is a type of physics. On account of computers use physics in order to compute. Which, by my own admission, is a very broad take on physics and allows almost anything to be considered part of physics. But one that I still think is fair.
