257 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.

There is no Nobel prize of mathematics or computer science but the academy wanted to give a prize related to machine learning and physics was the closest category they had (Remember, the only other prizes are in chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and the Nobel Peace Prize).
