@ShadSterling @carlysagan ML and AI are all algorithms and patterns and ways of playing with data. If they absolutely, positively had to have an AI award for these two this year (because, whatever their excuse is, "relevance" maybe?), shouldn't this have been a mathematics award?
(Edit: Just remembered that there is no mathematics Nobel, just like there is no engineering Nobel. Perhaps the Nobel committee should stop trying to award prizes in banned fields?)
