See proof of Proposition 3 below for the form of the Jacobian. Theorem 4.7] and so is the product p Equation ( 50) is an element-wise division. The main preprocessing we did was to (i) remove the "label" attribute from each data set, and (ii) Descriptions for all data set are below. All data have been completely anonymized. The original task was to predict whether an applicant would be recommended for acceptance by hierarchical decision model, which has been removed during preprocessing.

Quantum Machine Learning (QML) is the intersection of two revolutionary fields: quantum computing and machine learning. It promises to unlock unparalleled capabilities in data analysis, model building, and problem-solving by harnessing the unique properties of quantum mechanics. This research endeavors to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of scientific information pertaining to QML covering the period from 2000 to 2023. An extensive dataset comprising 9493 scholarly works is meticulously examined to unveil notable trends, impact factors, and funding patterns within the domain. Additionally, the study employs bibliometric mapping techniques to visually illustrate the network relationships among key countries, institutions, authors, patent citations and significant keywords in QML research. The analysis reveals a consistent growth in publications over the examined period. The findings highlight the United States and China as prominent contributors, exhibiting substantial publication and citation metrics. Notably, the study concludes that QML, as a research subject, is currently in a formative stage, characterized by robust scholarly activity and ongoing development.

ChartQA presents significant challenges due to the complex distribution of chart elements and the implicit patterns embedded within the underlying data. In this chapter, we have developed a joint multimodal scene graph for charts, explicitly representing the relationships between chart elements and their associated patterns. Our proposed multimodal scene graph consists of two components: a visual graph and a textual graph, each designed to capture the structural and semantic information within the chart. To unify representations across these different modalities, we introduce a multimodal graph contrastive learning approach that learns unified representations by maximizing similarity between nodes representing the same object across multimodal graphs. The learned graph representations can be seamlessly incorporated into a transformer decoder as a soft prompt. Additionally, given the growing need for Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) in zero-shot scenarios, we have designed Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompts for MLLMs to reduce hallucinations. We tested both methods on public benchmarks such as ChartQA, OpenCQA, and ChartX, demonstrating improved performance and validating the effectiveness of our proposed methods.

Everyone from Beyoncé to Cardi B to Bella Thorne has been talking about the adult content site OnlyFans. The latter two actually setting up their own pages on the platform to earn a little extra income. The site, in which creators invite users to subscribe to pages featuring their sexually explicit content, has exploded in the past few years. The number of OnlyFans creators worldwide has increased ten fold from 2019 to 2022 - from only 348,000 creators to 3,182,000. Much of the content is home-grown: 67 percent of the 1.9 billion net revenue generated on the platform in 2022 came from US content creators, Variety reported.

Naqab, Israel – In 1992, Mohamed Abu Qwaider watched his mother's home bulldozed by the Israeli army in the unrecognised Bedouin village of az-Zarnug in the Naqab Desert. The then-10-year-old helped his family rebuild the house using stone and concrete, sturdier than the previous metal shack. A few days after completing their new home, the family got another demolition order stating the structure was built illegally and had to watch it flattened to the ground. "I was too young so I didn't know the regulations," Abu Qwaider, now 41, said. "All I knew is that we had the right – anybody has the right to upgrade their house and live peacefully," he told Al Jazeera.

Earth could have as many as 73,000 tree species, a new first-of-its-kind study has estimated, including some 9,200 that are yet to be discovered. Most of these undiscovered species are likely to be rare, in very low numbers and at threat from human-driven changes in land use and climate, researchers said. South America contains about 43 per cent of the world's tree species and the highest number of rare ones. The findings suggest the continent should be the focus of conservation efforts, along with global tropical and subtropical forests, which also likely harbour many rare, undiscovered species, according to researchers. The study is the outcome of a three-year international project that involved almost 150 scientists and led to the identification of approximately 40 million trees belonging to 64,000 species.

A high level of AI innovation is making Switzerland a global leader in tech, talent, and funding. The alpine country of Switzerland -- famous for its luxury watches, delicious chocolate, and fondue -- is also home to a closely knit network of leading Artificial Intelligence (AI) research institutes. Their pragmatic collaboration with industrial players results in the highly efficient transfer of technology to bring innovative products to market quickly. The Digital Switzerland Strategy provides guidelines for government action and indicates where and how authorities, academia, the private sector, civil society, and politics must work together to shape the transformation process for the benefit of everyone. Moreover, the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology in Zurich and Lausanne (ETH Zurich and EPFL) rank among the world's best technological universities, while the Lugano IDSIA Lab attracts some of the brightest minds in AI development.

The 35th edition of the Neural Information Processing Systems conference 2021 (NeurIPS 2021) commenced on December 6, 2021. The nine day conference is packed with a series of tutorials, workshops, and presentations. Over 9,000 papers were submitted at the conference this year, of which 2,344 papers were accepted; this the highest number of papers accepted since 2013. The annual NeurIPS conference is the most awaited and well attended machine learning events of the year. Leading companies and academic institutions like Google, Microsoft, Meta, DeepMind, Stanford, and Carnegie Mellon University participate in great number.

The artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation revolution is here. But, what countries and cities are hiring the most in these emerging, but quite necessary fields? Robotic process automation company UiPath has provided some clarity in this matter by analysing job listings from start-up hubs around the world. The research can be viewed here. The RPA market is exploding, RPA or robotic process automation, has moved up the Gartner hype cycle, and it is no longer'one day' technology it is technology that is transforming business now, and UiPath sits in a comfortable position, it claims to be the fastest enterprise software company in history, and we spoke to Guy Kirkwood, its chief evangeliser.
