Quantum information entropy by Pi, Shuheng

“…Information entropy, the expected amount of information produced by a random data source, has been a topic of interest since Shannon introduced the concept in 1948. The concept was later generalised to Rényi and Tsalli entropies for different research applications in the classical information theory. …”

Fisher vector faces in the wild by Simonyan, K, Parkhi, O, Vedaldi, A, Zisserman, A

“…<br> This paper makes two contributions: first, and somewhat surprisingly, we show that Fisher vectors on densely sampled SIFT features, i.e. an off-the-shelf object recognition representation, are capable of achieving state-of-the-art face verification performance on the challenging “Labeled Faces in the Wild” benchmark; second, since Fisher vectors are very high dimensional, we show that a compact descriptor can be learnt from them using discriminative metric learning. …”

Quantum information processing, sensing, and communications: their myths, realities, and futures by Hazno, L, Babar, Z, Cai, Z, Chandra, D, Djordjevic, IB, Koczor, B, Xin Ng, S, Razavi, M, Simone, O

“…The recent advances in quantum information processing, sensing, and communications are surveyed with the objective of identifying the associated knowledge gaps and formulating a roadmap for their future evolution. Since the operation of quantum systems is prone to the deleterious effects of decoherence, which manifests itself in terms of bitflips, phase-flips, or both, the pivotal subject of quantum error mitigation is reviewed both in the presence and absence of quantum coding. …”
