Computation in Finitary Stochastic and Quantum Processes
We introduce stochastic and quantum finite-state transducers as
computation-theoretic models of classical stochastic and quantum finitary
processes. Formal process languages, representing the distribution over a
process's behaviors, are recognized and generated by suitable specializations.
We characterize and compare deterministic and nondeterministic versions,
summarizing their relative computational power in a hierarchy of finitary
process languages. Quantum finite-state transducers and generators are a first
step toward a computation-theoretic analysis of individual, repeatedly measured
quantum dynamical systems. They are explored via several physical systems,
including an iterated beam splitter, an atom in a magnetic field, and atoms in
an ion trap--a special case of which implements the Deutsch quantum algorithm.
We show that these systems' behaviors, and so their information processing
capacity, depends sensitively on the measurement protocol.Comment: 25 pages, 16 figures, 1 table; http://cse.ucdavis.edu/~cmg; numerous

Random projections: data perturbation for classification problems
Random projections offer an appealing and flexible approach to a wide range
of large-scale statistical problems. They are particularly useful in
high-dimensional settings, where we have many covariates recorded for each
observation. In classification problems there are two general techniques using
random projections. The first involves many projections in an ensemble -- the
idea here is to aggregate the results after applying different random
projections, with the aim of achieving superior statistical accuracy. The
second class of methods include hashing and sketching techniques, which are
straightforward ways to reduce the complexity of a problem, perhaps therefore
with a huge computational saving, while approximately preserving the
statistical efficiency.Comment: 24 pages, 4 figure
Ensemble deep learning: A review
Ensemble learning combines several individual models to obtain better
generalization performance. Currently, deep learning models with multilayer
processing architecture is showing better performance as compared to the
shallow or traditional classification models. Deep ensemble learning models
combine the advantages of both the deep learning models as well as the ensemble
learning such that the final model has better generalization performance. This
paper reviews the state-of-art deep ensemble models and hence serves as an
extensive summary for the researchers. The ensemble models are broadly
categorised into ensemble models like bagging, boosting and stacking, negative
correlation based deep ensemble models, explicit/implicit ensembles,
homogeneous /heterogeneous ensemble, decision fusion strategies, unsupervised,
semi-supervised, reinforcement learning and online/incremental, multilabel
based deep ensemble models. Application of deep ensemble models in different
domains is also briefly discussed. Finally, we conclude this paper with some
future recommendations and research directions
