In this work, the authors develop a novel optimization methodology that jointly accounts for these factors via intelligent device sampling complemented by #device-#to-#device (#D2D) offloading. Their optimization methodology aims to select the best combination of sampled nodes and data offloading configuration to maximize #federated #learning (#FedL) training accuracy while minimizing data processing and D2D communication resource consumption subject to realistic constraints on the network topology and device capabilities. Theoretical analysis of the D2D offloading subproblem leads to new FedL convergence bounds and an efficient sequential convex optimizer. Using these results, they develop a sampling methodology based on #graph #convolutional #networks (#GCNs) which learns the relationship between network attributes, sampled nodes, and D2D data offloading to maximize FedL accuracy. ---- Su Wang, Roberto Morabito, Seyyedali Hosseinalipour (Ali Alipour), Mung Chiang, Christopher Brinton More details can be found at this link: https://lnkd.in/ezHrzKxt

Recent Progress on the Sum over Paths Approach in Quantum Mechanics Education | Article by Massimiliano Malgieri and Pasquale Onorato https://lnkd.in/g9uadJih Università di Pavia; Università di Trento; MDPI #quantum #physics #education #Feynman #approach This article belongs to the Special Issue Teaching and Learning Quantum Theory and Particle Physics https://lnkd.in/gfrPyezT #Abstract In this paper, we present an overview of recent developments in the Feynman sum over paths approach for teaching introductory quantum mechanics to high school students and university undergraduates. A turning point in recent research is identified in the clarification of the distinction between the time-dependent and time-independent approaches, and it is shown how the adoption of the latter has allowed new educational reconstructions to proceed much farther beyond what had previously been achieved. It is argued that sum over paths has now reached full maturity as an educational reconstruction of quantum physics and offers several advantages with respect to other approaches in terms of leading students to develop consistent mental models of quantum phenomena, achieving better conceptual understanding and a higher degree of longitudinal integration of knowledge.

🏆 It is our pleasure to share the paper, 'Engineering Grover Adaptive Search: Exploring the Degrees of Freedom for Efficient QUBO Solving,' was recognized with an honorable mention for the IEEE JETCAS Best Paper Award". 📝 Authored by: Luigi Giuffrida; Deborah Volpe; Giovanni Amedeo Cirillo; Maurizio Zamboni; Giovanna Turvani Volume: 12, Issue: 3, September 2022 Quantum computers have the potential to solve Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problems with lower computational complexity than classical ones but, considering the current limitations of quantum hardware, the joint use of classical and quantum paradigms is needed. One example is the Grover Adaptive Search (GAS) procedure, which enables a hybrid quantum-classical Grover Search (GS). This approach is characterized by many degrees of freedom that should be appropriately tuned for an effective and fast convergence to the optimal solution. This work proposes new mechanisms for GAS parameters management and compares them with the existing ones, like one available in the Qiskit framework. The proposed mechanisms can automatically arrange the parameters according to the algorithm evolution and their previous experience, thus ensuring a more frequent and faster achievement of the optimal solution. 🔗 Read more on IEEE Xplore: https://loom.ly/0VTJRMI #IEEECASS #JETCAS #JETCASHonorableMention

𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬: 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 "𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝" The latest Modern Data 101 newsletter is here. For this edition, we collaborated with Francesco De Cassai, who explored the concept of “Data as a Product” and the limitation of equating “trustworthy” with “certified” data. He introduced a flexible approach to data trustworthiness, advocating for varying levels of trust similar to different grades of physical products (luxury, mass-produced, and counterfeit). This shift aims to broaden data access, reduce operational costs, and foster innovation by redefining the roles of Business Data Owners and implementing effective data policy management. Francesco goes a level deep and explains the core details. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬: 💠 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭: Not all data needs to be certified. By accepting “good enough” trust levels, businesses can use a broader range of data products, increasing flexibility and relevance. This approach acknowledges that different use cases require different levels of data quality. 💠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲: Comparing data products to different grades of footwear [luxury, mass-produced, counterfeit] helps illustrate the value of varying trust levels. Just as different types of shoes serve different purposes, data products can be categorized and utilized based on their intended use and required trust level. 💠 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲: Broader data access reduced operational costs by decreasing the reliance on fully certified data. By using data that is “good enough” for specific purposes, organizations can streamline their data engineering teams and focus resources on more critical tasks. 💠 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Business Data Owners should shift responsibilities to support a flexible approach to data trust. This means redefining their roles to focus on advisory and guidance rather than strict ownership, particularly for lower-tier data. 💠 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Implementing robust data policies to manage varying trust levels is crucial for creating a more inclusive and effective data ecosystem. These policies should clearly define the criteria for each trust level, outline the responsibilities of data owners, and provide guidelines for data usage. 💠 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬: Examples like system dumps, data science needs, and pre-processed data access highlight the practical applications of this flexible approach. For instance, data scientists often need raw data for their analyses, which doesn’t require the same level of certification as data used for regulatory reporting.
