Quantum meets optimization and machine learning
With the advent of the quantum era, what role the quantum computer will play in optimization and machine learning becomes a natural and salient question. The development of novel quantum computing techniques is essential to showcase the quantum advantage in these fields. At the same time, new findings in classical optimization and machine learning algorithms also have the potential to stimulate quantum computing research. In the dissertation, we explore the fascinating connections between quantum computing, optimization, and machine learning, paving the way for transformative advances in all three fields. First, on the quantum side, we present efficient quantum algorithms for fundamental problems in sampling, optimization, and quantum physics. Our results highlight the practical advantages of quantum computing in these fields. In addition, we introduce new approaches to quantum complexity theory for characterizing the quantum hardness of optimization and machine learning problems. Second, on the optimization side, we improve the efficiency of the state-of-the-art classical algorithms for solving semi-definite programming (SDP), Fourier sensing, dynamic distance estimation, etc. Our classical results are closely intertwined with quantum computing. Some of them serve as stepping stones to new quantum algorithms, while others are motivated by quantum applications or inspired by quantum techniques. Third, on the machine learning side, we develop fast classical and quantum algorithms for training over-parameterized neural networks with provable guarantees of convergence and generalization. Furthermore, we contribute to the security aspect of machine learning by theoretically investigating some potential approaches to (classically) protect private data in collaborative machine learning and to (quantumly) protect the copyright of machine learning models. Fourth, we investigate the concentration and discrepancy properties of hyperbolic polynomials and higher-order random walks, which could potentially be applied to quantum computing, optimization, and machine learning.Computer Science
Abstracts on Radio Direction Finding (1899 - 1995)
The files on this record represent the various databases that originally composed the CD-ROM issue of "Abstracts on Radio Direction Finding" database, which is now part of the Dudley Knox Library's Abstracts and Selected Full Text Documents on Radio Direction Finding (1899 - 1995) Collection. (See Calhoun record https://calhoun.nps.edu/handle/10945/57364 for further information on this collection and the bibliography).
Due to issues of technological obsolescence preventing current and future audiences from accessing the bibliography, DKL exported and converted into the three files on this record the various databases contained in the CD-ROM.
The contents of these files are:
