Quantum computing can empower machine learning models by enabling kernel machines to leverage quantum kernels for representing similarity measures between data. Quantum kernels are able to capture relationships in the data that are not…

The Quick Medical Reference (QMR) is a compendium of statistical knowledge connecting diseases to findings (symptoms). The information in QMR can be represented as a Bayesian network. The inference problem (or, in more medical language,…
