Challenges and opportunities in quantum machine learning - Nature Computational Science

#artificialintelligence

At the intersection of machine learning and quantum computing, quantum machine learning has the potential of accelerating data analysis, especially for quantum data, with applications for quantum materials, biochemistry and high-energy physics. Nevertheless, challenges remain regarding the trainability of quantum machine learning models. Here we review current methods and applications for quantum machine learning. We highlight differences between quantum and classical machine learning, with a focus on quantum neural networks and quantum deep learning. Finally, we discuss opportunities for quantum advantage with quantum machine learning. Quantum machine learning has become an essential tool to process and analyze the increased amount of quantum data. Despite recent progress, there are still many challenges to be addressed and myriad future avenues of research.


Is artificial intelligence destroying human civilisation?

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence has been a topic of debate for decades. With the advent of deep learning and neural networks, AI is now able to perform tasks that were previously performed by humans. This has led to many experts believing that the rise of artificial intelligence will lead to the destruction of human civilization as we know it today. The intelligent and intellectuals, find it increasingly difficult to differentiate real intelligence from the mediocre and AI generated output. This is a challenge that we all face as our lives become more intertwined with artificial intelligence. How do you know who your friends are?


Japan to deploy attack drones as early as 2025

The Japan Times

The Defense Ministry plans to deploy small attack drones in a bid to strengthen the defense of the nation's remote islands. The ministry will make preparations for the deployment, introducing U.S.-made and other drones in fiscal 2023 on a trial basis. It aims to deploy several hundred attack drones from fiscal 2025 at the earliest. This could be due to a conflict with your ad-blocking or security software.

Tiny particles work together to do big things

Robohub

MIT chemical engineers have shown that specialized particles can oscillate together, demonstrating a phenomenon known as emergent behavior. Taking advantage of a phenomenon known as emergent behavior in the microscale, MIT engineers have designed simple microparticles that can collectively generate complex behavior, much the same way that a colony of ants can dig tunnels or collect food. Working together, the microparticles can generate a beating clock that oscillates at a very low frequency. These oscillations can then be harnessed to power tiny robotic devices, the researchers showed. "In addition to being interesting from a physics point of view, this behavior can also be translated into an on-board oscillatory electrical signal, which can be very powerful in microrobotic autonomy. There are a lot of electrical components that require such an oscillatory input," says Jingfan Yang, a recent MIT PhD recipient and one of the lead authors of the new study.


Turing launches government-backed AI standards information hub

#artificialintelligence

The Alan Turing Institute has announced the formal launch of an AI Standards Hub that the government trialed in January 2022. The institute has teamed up with the British Standards Institution (BSI) and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) to form the hub, which is also supported by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the government's office for artificial intelligence (AI). The present government was formed on 6 September 2022, and so the launch of the hub is one of the first slew of initiatives that it publicly backs. It is billed as part of the government's 10-year national AI strategy, launched in September 2021. The minister for technology and the digital economy, Damian Collins, who took up his position in August 2022 as part of outgoing prime minister Boris Johnson's interim administration and supported Liz Truss to be leader of the Conservative Party in its leadership election, said: "Our National AI Strategy builds on the UK's position at the forefront of artificial intelligence to fuel innovation and strengthen trust in this transformative technology. "The hub's launch sets the bar for the responsible creation, development and use of AI to unlock its full potential and drive growth across the country." Also from the government, its chief scientific adviser and national technology adviser, Patrick Vallance, said: "The UK's new AI Standards Hub should help create the conditions needed to develop a thriving AI industry and promote innovation." Adrian Smith, director and chief executive of the Alan Turing Institute, said: "As artificial intelligence technologies play an increasingly crucial role across all sectors, it's vital that the development and use of these technologies adheres to commonly agreed and ethically sound standards.

Gauge-equivariant flow models for sampling in lattice field theories with pseudofermions

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Specifically, computing the probability density after the fermionic integration via direct methods is not feasible for at-scale studies of theories such as QCD, as such methods Lattice quantum field theory (LQFT), particularly lattice scale cubically with the spacetime volume. The usual quantum chromodynamics, has become an ubiquitous approach to this challenge is to introduce auxiliary degrees tool in high-energy and nuclear theory [1-4]. Given of freedom, named pseudofermions, which function the extraordinary computational cost of state-of-the-art as stochastic determinant estimators for which the cost LQFT studies, advances in the form of more efficient algorithms of evaluation scales more favorably with the lattice volume.


Explaining automated gender classification of human gait

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

State-of-the-art machine learning (ML) models are highly effective in classifying gait analysis data, however, they lack in providing explanations for their predictions. This "black-box" characteristic makes it impossible to understand on which input patterns, ML models base their predictions. The present study investigates whether Explainable Artificial Intelligence methods, i.e., Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (LRP), can be useful to enhance the explainability of ML predictions in gait classification. The research question was: Which input patterns are most relevant for an automated gender classification model and do they correspond to characteristics identified in the literature? We utilized a subset of the GAITREC dataset containing five bilateral ground reaction force (GRF) recordings per person during barefoot walking of 62 healthy participants: 34 females and 28 males. Each input signal (right and left side) was min-max normalized before concatenation and fed into a multi-layer Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The classification accuracy was obtained over a stratified ten-fold cross-validation. To identify gender-specific patterns, the input relevance scores were derived using LRP. The mean classification accuracy of the CNN with 83.3% showed a clear superiority over the zero-rule baseline of 54.8%.


Learning to Sample and Aggregate: Few-shot Reasoning over Temporal Knowledge Graphs

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In this paper, we investigate a realistic but underexplored problem, called few-shot temporal knowledge graph reasoning, that aims to predict future facts for newly emerging entities based on extremely limited observations in evolving graphs. It offers practical value in applications that need to derive instant new knowledge about new entities in temporal knowledge graphs (TKGs) with minimal supervision. The challenges mainly come from the few-shot and time shift properties of new entities. First, the limited observations associated with them are insufficient for training a model from scratch. Second, the potentially dynamic distributions from the initially observable facts to the future facts ask for explicitly modeling the evolving characteristics of new entities. We correspondingly propose a novel Meta Temporal Knowledge Graph Reasoning (MetaTKGR) framework. Unlike prior work that relies on rigid neighborhood aggregation schemes to enhance low-data entity representation, MetaTKGR dynamically adjusts the strategies of sampling and aggregating neighbors from recent facts for new entities, through temporally supervised signals on future facts as instant feedback. Besides, such a meta temporal reasoning procedure goes beyond existing meta-learning paradigms on static knowledge graphs that fail to handle temporal adaptation with large entity variance. We further provide a theoretical analysis and propose a temporal adaptation regularizer to stabilize the meta temporal reasoning over time. Empirically, extensive experiments on three real-world TKGs demonstrate the superiority of MetaTKGR over state-of-the-art baselines by a large margin.


Extrapolation and Spectral Bias of Neural Nets with Hadamard Product: a Polynomial Net Study

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Neural tangent kernel (NTK) is a powerful tool to analyze training dynamics of neural networks and their generalization bounds. The study on NTK has been devoted to typical neural network architectures, but it is incomplete for neural networks with Hadamard products (NNs-Hp), e.g., StyleGAN and polynomial neural networks (PNNs). In this work, we derive the finite-width NTK formulation for a special class of NNs-Hp, i.e., polynomial neural networks. We prove their equivalence to the kernel regression predictor with the associated NTK, which expands the application scope of NTK. Based on our results, we elucidate the separation of PNNs over standard neural networks with respect to extrapolation and spectral bias. Our two key insights are that when compared to standard neural networks, PNNs can fit more complicated functions in the extrapolation regime and admit a slower eigenvalue decay of the respective NTK, leading to a faster learning towards high-frequency functions. Besides, our theoretical results can be extended to other types of NNs-Hp, which expand the scope of our work. Our empirical results validate the separations in broader classes of NNs-Hp, which provide a good justification for a deeper understanding of neural architectures.
