John Hopfield is professor at Princeton, whose life’s work weaved beautifully through biology, chemistry, neuroscience, and physics. Most crucially, he saw the messy world of biology through the piercing eyes of a physicist. He is perhaps best known for his work on associate neural networks, now known as Hopfield networks that were one of the early ideas that catalyzed the development of the modern field of deep learning.EPISODE LINKS:Now What? article: http://bit.ly/3843LeUJohn wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_HopfieldBooks mentioned:– Einstein’s Dreams: https://amzn.to/2PBa96X– Mind is Flat: https://amzn.to/2I3YB84This conversation is part of the Artificial Intelligence podcast. If you would like to get more information about this podcast go to https://lexfridman.com/ai or connect with @lexfridman on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Medium, or YouTube where you can watch the video versions of these conversations.
