Modelling learning as entropy, and heat in his Boltzmann machines was genius as was the 1980s backdrop paper.
Geoff tirelessly evangelised neural nets and machine learning right from his 1970s phd days at Edinburgh.
Despite being in the academic wilderness during the many decades of symbolic AI.
Moore’s law ( & parallel processing via GPUs ) finally caught up with Geoff’s vision and proved him right.
Well deserved !
