   How is that physics

     @SuperSnekFriend I guess the issue is just that there are no prizes in CS or mathematics, so they tried to put this one in anyway

     >John Hopfield invented a network that uses a method for saving and recreating patterns. We can imagine the nodes as pixels. The Hopfield network utilises physics that describes a material’s characteristics due to its atomic spin – a property that makes each atom a tiny magnet. The network as a whole is described in a manner equivalent to the energy in the spin system found in physics, and is trained by finding values for the connections between the nodes so that the saved images have low energy. When the Hopfield network is fed a distorted or incomplete image, it methodically works through the nodes and updates their values so the network’s energy falls. The network thus works stepwise to find the saved image that is most like the imperfect one it was fed with.

     I only see Hopfield using analogical knowledge, borrowing from physics and not physics itself. But what do I know?

     @lain didn't the biology nobel price also go to a team with 2/3 ai guys?
