We propose a novel a framework for deriving approximations for intractable probabilistic models. This framework is based on a free energy (negative log marginal likelihood) and ca...
A t-design for quantum states is a finite set of quantum states with the property of simulating the Haar-measure on quantum states w.r.t. any test that uses at most t copies of a...
For every fixed 0, we give an algorithm that, given an n-vertex 3-uniform hypergraph containing an independent set of size n, finds an independent set of size n(2 ) . This improv...
Owing to the stochastic nature of discrete processes such as photon counts in imaging, real-world data measurements often exhibit heteroscedastic behavior. In particular, time ser...
—Authentication using a path of trusted intermediaries, each able to authenticate the next in the path, is a well-known technique for authenticating channels in a large distribut...
