Shun-ichi Amari received the Kyoto Prize in Advanced Technology, specifically in the field of Information Technology, for his work on neural network dynamics and learning theory. His studies also elucidate our understanding of brain activity in perceptual systems such as vision. Amari established a new academic field that he named “information geometry,” which considers statistical models and probability distribution, laying the foundation for the development of practical algorithms. His research plays an essential role in the evolution of artificial intelligence. Series: "Kyoto Prize Symposium" [Science] [Show ID: 41116]
