And, but so that, that's like the, you know, that whole field was like the precursor to, to deep neural networks, which then, you know, called deep learning.
And then that led, let's like transformers and kind of modern AI.
Yeah.
You can submit any research project you want.
So my project...
Like, I think probably at least half of the kids who competed in that did do some actual, like, hands-on stuff in the lab, but the others, you know, you could just write, like, you know, like, I placed 12th in that one, but, like, the guy who placed second was, like, basically just wrote a complete theoretical math paper.
Okay, I see.
That wasn't a term back then, but it was just, like, optics and neural networks, yeah.
Well, it's to implement neural networks.
Like, you know how, I mean, to be honest, like the project would be relevant today too, because like instead of throwing all this compute at silicon chips, like using photonics, like that is a thing.
I mean, I didn't come up with that whole idea.
I was like optimizing a particular aspect of it.
Right, right.
But the idea of using optics instead of silicon is a thing and I think is like...
that is a new form of computing as is, you know, quantum.
Right, right, right, right.
And this was early stage machine learning when you were doing this.
Well, not really.
I mean, machine learning was around since the 80s.
Sure.
