BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.” This year’s two Nobel Prize laureates in physics have used tools from physics to develop methods that are the foundation of today’s powerful machine learning. John Hopfield created an associative memory that can store and reconstruct images and other types of patterns in data. Geoffrey Hinton invented a method that can autonomously find properties in data, and so perform tasks such as identifying specific elements in pictures. When we talk about artificial intelligence, we often mean machine learning using artificial neural networks. This technology was originally inspired by the structure of the brain. In an artificial neural network, the brain’s neurons are represented by nodes that have different values. These nodes influence each other through connections that can be likened to synapses and which can be made stronger or weaker. The network is trained, for example by developing stronger connections between nodes with simultaneously high values. This year’s laureates have conducted important work with artificial neural networks from the 1980s onward. 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. Geoffrey Hinton used the Hopfield network as the foundation for a new network that uses a different method: the Boltzmann machine. This can learn to recognise characteristic elements in a given type of data. Hinton used tools from statistical physics, the science of systems built from many similar components. The machine is trained by feeding it examples that are very likely to arise when the machine is run. The Boltzmann machine can be used to classify images or create new examples of the type of pattern on which it was trained. Hinton has built upon this work, helping initiate the current explosive development of machine learning.

🌟Last week, we had the Practical Super-Resolution Microscopy Course in Turku! It was a busy week with lots of lectures, imaging, and networking 🤝 🔬This course was organized by the Cell Imaging and Cytometry Core (CIC), Turku Bioscience Centre and Turku BioImaging, and provided participants with an in-depth exploration of cutting-edge super-resolution microscopy techniques, including enhanced confocal (Zeiss Airyscan/Leica Lightning), SIM, SMLM and STED, which are all available in Turku. Participants not only gained theoretical knowledge but also had hands-on practical sessions on the microscopes. Moreover, participants were taught how to use OMERO for image data storage and had a practical session on image analysis. On the final day, course participants presented the images that were acquired during practical sessions and thoughts about the super-resolution techniques they used. 💡 By the end of the week, attendees were left equipped with enhanced microscopy techniques, improved image analysis skills, and a deeper understanding of how to leverage these tools in their research. 👏 A huge thanks to all organizers and instructors Christoffer Lagerholm, Kaisa Rautaniemi, Jouko Sandholm, Elena Tcarenkova, Junel Solis, Pasi Kankaanpää, Irina Belaia, and participants for being active and for making this course a resounding success! It was a great experience to work together with Cell Imaging and Cytometry Core on this course, we learned a lot from each other and are planning to make this course annually, stay tuned! #SuperResolution #Microscopy #Imaging #OMERO #Networking #Research Turun yliopisto - University of Turku Åbo Akademi University Finnish Advanced Microscopy Node Euro-BioImaging
