Cross-Modal Deep Variational Hashing by Liong, Venice Erin, Lu, Jiwen, Zhou, Jie, Tan, Yap Peng

“…Unlike most existing cross-modal hashing methods which learn a single pair of projections to map each example into a binary vector, we design a deep fusion neural network to learn non-linear transformations from image-text input pairs, such that a unified binary code is achieved in a discrete and discriminative manner using a classification-based hinge-loss criterion. We then design modality-specific neural networks in a probabilistic manner such that we model a latent variable to be close as possible from the inferred binary codes, at the same time approximated by a posterior distribution regularized by a known prior, which is suitable for out-of-sample extension. …”

On fundamental aspects of quantum extreme learning machines by Xiong, W, Facelli, G, Sahebi, M, Agnel, O, Chotibut, T, Thanasilp, S, Holmes, Z

“…Notably, the expressivity of QELMs is fundamentally limited by the number of Fourier frequencies and the number of observables, while the complexity of the prediction hinges on the reservoir. As a cautionary note on scalability, we identify four sources that can lead to the exponential concentration of the observables as the system size grows (randomness, hardware noise, entanglement, and global measurements) and show how this can turn QELMs into useless input-agnostic oracles. …”

First cycle voltage hysteresis in Li-rich 3d cathodes associated with molecular O2 trapped in the bulk by House, RA, Rees, G, Perez-Osorio, M, Marie, J-J, Boivin, E, Robertson, A, Nag, A, Garcia-Fernandez, M, Zhou, K-J, Bruce, P
