The award to Drs Hinton and Hopfield, however, recognises achievements with more profound consequences.
然而,授予欣顿博士和霍普菲尔德博士的奖项却认可了影响更为深远的成就。

Hopfield networks and their ilk are, in essence, two-dimensional.
霍普菲尔德网络及其同类网络本质上是二维的。

Hopfield networks, in which each node is connected to every other except itself, are particularly good at learning to extract patterns from sparse or noisy data.
Dr Hinton also, for good measure, tweaked Dr Hopfield's networks using a branch of maths called statistical mechanics to create what are known as Boltzmann machines.
Dr Hopfield was responsible for what has become known as the Hopfield network—a type of artificial neural network that behaves like a physical structure called a spin glass, which gave the academy a tenuous reason to call the field " physics" .
