Building hybrid classical-quantum classifiers to deal with unbalanced datasets
(2022-12-23)
Quantum circuits offer a different approach to process data through quantum operations and measurements of quantum states. At the same time, the increasing number of advances in technology has opened a path to turning these ...
The “Extended Reach” method: exploring the neighbors of the neighbors to escape from local optima
(2022-12-23)
[EN] Local search is a widely used meta-heuristic due to its simple yet effective approach for solving computationally hard optimization problems. Despite their popularity, hill-climbing algorithms get stuck in local optima, ...
Evolutionary computation in hierarchical model discovery
(2022-12-23)
Despite its continuous growth, probabilistic programming is still a great
unknown among scientists, specially those whose research areas involve sampling dis-
tributions, statistical modeling or statistical inference. ...
