We combine beam search with the probabilistic pruning technique of nucleus sampling to create two deterministic nucleus search algorithms for natural language generation. The first algorithm, p-exact search, locally prunes the next-token…
We propose a novel clustering method that is based on physical intuition derived from quantum mechanics. Starting with given data points, we construct a scale-space probability function. Viewing the latter as the lowest eigenstate of a…
Traditional methods present a very restrictive range of applications, mainly limited by the features of the function to be optimized and of the constraint functions. In contrast, evolutionary algorithms present almost no restriction to the…
We present a quantum algorithm for finding the minimum of a function based on multistep quantum computation and apply it for optimization problems with continuous variables, in which the variables of the problem are discretized to form the…
Despite the promise that fault-tolerant quantum computers can efficiently solve classically intractable problems, it remains a major challenge to find quantum algorithms that may reach computational advantage in the present era of noisy,…
The Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) algorithm has undergone countless modifications and adaptations since its original formulation in 1995. Some of these have become mainstream whereas many others have not been adopted and faded away.…
The question of whether quantum spatial search in two dimensions can be made optimal has long been an open problem. We report progress towards its resolution by showing that the oracle complexity for target location can be made optimal, by…
We describe algorithms, and experimental strategies, for the Pareto optimal control problem of simultaneously driving an arbitrary number of quantum observable expectation values to their respective extrema. Conventional quantum optimal…
In this study we address existing deficiencies in the literature on applications of Particle Swarm Optimization to generate optimal designs. We present the results of a large computer study in which we bench-mark both efficiency and…
Quantum annealing is a computational paradigm in which optimisation problems are mapped onto the energy landscape of an interacting quantum system and explored through its dynamical evolution. By continuously transforming a simple initial…
Robot swarms can be tasked with a variety of automated sensing and inspection applications in aerial, aquatic, and surface environments. In this paper, we study a simplified two-outcome surface inspection task. We task a group of robots to…
The advantages of evolutionary algorithms with respect to traditional methods have been greatly discussed in the literature. While particle swarm optimizers share such advantages, they outperform evolutionary algorithms in that they require…
The agenda of quantum algorithmic information theory, ordered `top-down,' is the quantum halting amplitude, followed by the quantum algorithmic information content, which in turn requires the theory of quantum computation. The fundamental…
The enormous successes have been made by quantum algorithms during the last decade. In this paper, we combine the quantum random walk (QRW) with the problem of data clustering, and develop two clustering algorithms based on the one…
Task learning in neural networks typically requires finding a globally optimal minimizer to a loss function objective. Conventional designs of swarm based optimization methods apply a fixed update rule, with possibly an adaptive step-size…
Web mining is the nontrivial process to discover valid, novel, potentially useful knowledge from web data using the data mining techniques or methods. It may give information that is useful for improving the services offered by web portals…
The search for the model or ingredients that describe the current vision of our cosmos has led to the creation of a set of highly favorable experiments, and therefore a great flow of information. Due to this torrent of information and the…
The ability to extract relevant information is critical to learning. An ingenious approach as such is the information bottleneck, an optimisation problem whose solution corresponds to a faithful and memory-efficient representation of…
In this paper we provide a rigorous convergence analysis for the renowned particle swarm optimization method by using tools from stochastic calculus and the analysis of partial differential equations. Based on a time-continuous formulation…
We introduce an algorithm which can be directly used to feasible and optimum search in linear programming. Starting from an initial point the algorithm iteratively moves a point in a direction to resolve the violated constraints. At the…
