New algorithm boosts multitasking in quantum machine learning Date: December 10, 2024 Source: Tohoku University Summary: When a quantum computer processes data, it must translate it into ...

Look closely at any machine-learning algorithm and you’ll inevitably find people—people making choices about which data to gather and how to weigh it, choices about design and target variables.

AlphaTensor, from 2022, used the reinforcement learning method to produce novel algorithms. Fun Search, from 2024, used an evolutionary method to generate more efficient code for a given problem.

The study, published in Nature’s Scientific Reports, showed how a machine learning algorithm could rapidly learn about the physics behind a measurement of how steadily a reactor is producing power, ...
