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 … Continue reading
