(English) Weekly Quantum Group Webinar: Matt Lourens, Hierarchical architecture representations for quantum convolutional neural networks

Stellenbosch University, Physics Department School of Data Science and Computational Thinking, Stellenbosch

The Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (QCNN) is a quantum circuit model inspired by the architecture of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). CNNs are successful because they do not need manual feature design and can learn high-level features from raw data. Neural … Weiterlesen

(English) Webinar: Amira Abbas, The feasibility of quantum backpropagation

Stellenbosch University, Physics Department School of Data Science and Computational Thinking, Stellenbosch

Abstract: The success of modern deep learning hinges on the ability to train neural networks at scale. Through clever reuse of intermediate information, backpropagation facilitates training through gradient computation at a total cost roughly proportional to running the function, rather … Weiterlesen
