Although quantum computing holds promise for solving Combinatorial Optimization Problems (COPs), the limited qubit capacity of NISQ hardware makes large-scale instances intractable. Conventional methods attempt to bridge this gap through…

Hardware-friendly network quantization (e.g., binary/uniform quantization) can efficiently accelerate the inference and meanwhile reduce memory consumption of the deep neural networks, which is crucial for model deployment on…

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are powerful tools for learning graph-structured data, but their scalability is hindered by inefficient mini-batch generation, data transfer bottlenecks, and costly inter-GPU synchronization. Existing training…

Combinatorial optimization (CO) aims to efficiently find the best solution to NP-hard problems ranging from statistical physics to social media marketing. A wide range of CO applications can benefit from local search methods because they…

The distributed optimization problem is set up in a collection of nodes interconnected via a communication network. The goal is to find the minimizer of a global objective function formed by the addition of partial functions locally known…

A semi-quantum key distribution (SQKD) protocol allows a quantum user and a limited "classical" user to establish a shared secret key secure against an all-powerful adversary. In this work, we present a new SQKD protocol where the quantum…

Recently, large language models (LLMs) have shown surprising performance in task-specific workloads as well as general tasks with the given prompts. However, to achieve unprecedented performance, recent LLMs use billions to trillions of…

Minimax problems have gained tremendous attentions across the optimization and machine learning community recently. In this paper, we introduce a new quasi-Newton method for minimax problems, which we call $J$-symmetric quasi-Newton method.…

In modern data science, it is common that large-scale data are stored and processed parallelly across a great number of locations. For reasons including confidentiality concerns, only limited data information from each parallel center is…

In decentralized control systems with linear dynamics, quadratic cost, and Gaussian disturbance (also called decentralized LQG systems) linear control strategies are not always optimal. Nonetheless, linear control strategies are appealing…

We introduce a neighborhood-based data access model for distributed coded storage allocation. Storage nodes are connected in a generic network and data is accessed locally: a user accesses a randomly chosen storage node, which subsequently…

Inspired by Double Q-learning algorithm, the Double-DQN (DDQN) algorithm was originally proposed in order to address the overestimation issue in the original DQN algorithm. The DDQN has successfully shown both theoretically and empirically…

We consider the problem of solving a distributed optimization problem using a distributed computing platform, where the communication in the network is limited: each node can only communicate with its neighbours and the channel has a…
