Advances in quantum machine learning
Here we discuss advances in the field of quantum machine learning. The
following document offers a hybrid discussion; both reviewing the field as it
is currently, and suggesting directions for further research. We include both
algorithms and experimental implementations in the discussion. The field's
outlook is generally positive, showing significant promise. However, we believe
there are appreciable hurdles to overcome before one can claim that it is a
primary application of quantum computation.Comment: 38 pages, 17 Figure
Neural Class-Specific Regression for face verification
Face verification is a problem approached in the literature mainly using
nonlinear class-specific subspace learning techniques. While it has been shown
that kernel-based Class-Specific Discriminant Analysis is able to provide
excellent performance in small- and medium-scale face verification problems,
its application in today's large-scale problems is difficult due to its
training space and computational requirements. In this paper, generalizing our
previous work on kernel-based class-specific discriminant analysis, we show
that class-specific subspace learning can be cast as a regression problem. This
allows us to derive linear, (reduced) kernel and neural network-based
class-specific discriminant analysis methods using efficient batch and/or
iterative training schemes, suited for large-scale learning problems. We test
the performance of these methods in two datasets describing medium- and
large-scale face verification problems.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure
Tensor Networks for Dimensionality Reduction and Large-Scale Optimizations. Part 2 Applications and Future Perspectives
Part 2 of this monograph builds on the introduction to tensor networks and
their operations presented in Part 1. It focuses on tensor network models for
super-compressed higher-order representation of data/parameters and related
cost functions, while providing an outline of their applications in machine
learning and data analytics. A particular emphasis is on the tensor train (TT)
and Hierarchical Tucker (HT) decompositions, and their physically meaningful
interpretations which reflect the scalability of the tensor network approach.
Through a graphical approach, we also elucidate how, by virtue of the
underlying low-rank tensor approximations and sophisticated contractions of
core tensors, tensor networks have the ability to perform distributed
computations on otherwise prohibitively large volumes of data/parameters,
thereby alleviating or even eliminating the curse of dimensionality. The
usefulness of this concept is illustrated over a number of applied areas,
including generalized regression and classification (support tensor machines,
canonical correlation analysis, higher order partial least squares),
generalized eigenvalue decomposition, Riemannian optimization, and in the
optimization of deep neural networks. Part 1 and Part 2 of this work can be
used either as stand-alone separate texts, or indeed as a conjoint
comprehensive review of the exciting field of low-rank tensor networks and
tensor decompositions.Comment: 232 page
