We describe a quantum PAC learning algorithm for DNF formulae under the uniform distribution with a query complexity of $\tilde{O}(s^{3}/\epsilon + s^{2}/\epsilon^{2})$, where $s$ is the size of DNF formula and $\epsilon$ is the PAC error…
Most models of machine teaching and learning assume the learner makes no errors in its internal deductive inference. However, humans and large language models in few-shot learning regimes are two important examples of learners where this…
We study the problem of PAC learning halfspaces in the reliable agnostic model of Kalai et al. (2012). The reliable PAC model captures learning scenarios where one type of error is costlier than the others. Our main positive result is a new…
We define a new model of quantum learning that we call Predictive Quantum (PQ). This is a quantum analogue of PAC, where during the testing phase the student is only required to answer a polynomial number of testing queries. We demonstrate…
We introduce the problem of learning conditional averages in the PAC framework. The learner receives a sample labeled by an unknown target concept from a known concept class, as in standard PAC learning. However, instead of learning the…
Using quantum algorithms, we obtain, for accuracy $\epsilon>0$ and confidence $1-\delta,0<\delta<1,$ a new sample complexity upper bound of $O((\mbox{log}(\frac{1}{\delta}))/\epsilon)$ as $\epsilon,\delta\rightarrow 0$ for a general…
We study the collaborative PAC learning problem recently proposed in Blum et al.~\cite{BHPQ17}, in which we have $k$ players and they want to learn a target function collaboratively, such that the learned function approximates the target…
In the optimization of dynamic systems, the variables typically have constraints. Such problems can be modeled as a Constrained Markov Decision Process (CMDP). This paper considers the peak Constrained Markov Decision Process (PCMDP), where…
Neural networks are a promising tool for characterizing intermediate-scale quantum devices from limited amounts of measurement data. A challenging problem in this area is to learn the action of an unknown quantum process on an ensemble of…
The best algorithm for a computational problem generally depends on the "relevant inputs," a concept that depends on the application domain and often defies formal articulation. While there is a large literature on empirical approaches to…
Suppose we have many copies of an unknown $n$-qubit state $\rho$. We measure some copies of $\rho$ using a known two-outcome measurement $E_{1}$, then other copies using a measurement $E_{2}$, and so on. At each stage $t$, we generate a…
We study a Q learning algorithm for continuous time stochastic control problems. The proposed algorithm uses the sampled state process by discretizing the state and control action spaces under piece-wise constant control processes. We show…
