A Robust Learning Approach to Domain Adaptive Object Detection

1 code implementation ICCV 2019 Mehran Khodabandeh, Arash Vahdat, Mani Ranjbar, William G. Macready

To adapt to the domain shift, the model is trained on the target domain using a set of noisy object bounding boxes that are obtained by a detection model trained only in the source domain.

DVAE#: Discrete Variational Autoencoders with Relaxed Boltzmann Priors

no code implementations NeurIPS 2018 Arash Vahdat, Evgeny Andriyash, William G. Macready

Experiments on the MNIST and OMNIGLOT datasets show that these relaxations outperform previous discrete VAEs with Boltzmann priors.

DVAE++: Discrete Variational Autoencoders with Overlapping Transformations

no code implementations ICML 2018 Arash Vahdat, William G. Macready, Zhengbing Bian, Amir Khoshaman, Evgeny Andriyash

Training of discrete latent variable models remains challenging because passing gradient information through discrete units is difficult.

Benchmarking Quantum Hardware for Training of Fully Visible Boltzmann Machines

no code implementations14 Nov 2016 Dmytro Korenkevych, Yanbo Xue, Zhengbing Bian, Fabian Chudak, William G. Macready, Jason Rolfe, Evgeny Andriyash

We argue that this relates to the fact that we are training a quantum rather than classical Boltzmann distribution in this case.

A practical heuristic for finding graph minors

1 code implementation10 Jun 2014 Jun Cai, William G. Macready, Aidan Roy

We present a heuristic algorithm for finding a graph $H$ as a minor of a graph $G$ that is practical for sparse $G$ and $H$ with hundreds of vertices.

A Near-Term Quantum Computing Approach for Hard Computational Problems in Space Exploration

1 code implementation12 Apr 2012 Vadim N. Smelyanskiy, Eleanor G. Rieffel, Sergey I. Knysh, Colin P. Williams, Mark W. Johnson, Murray C. Thom, William G. Macready, Kristen L. Pudenz

We review quantum algorithms for structured learning for multi-label classification and introduce a hybrid classical/quantum approach for learning the weights.

Training a Binary Classifier with the Quantum Adiabatic Algorithm

2 code implementations4 Nov 2008 Hartmut Neven, Vasil S. Denchev, Geordie Rose, William G. Macready

To bring it into a format that allows the application of adiabatic quantum computing (AQC), we first show that the bit-precision with which the weights need to be represented only grows logarithmically with the ratio of the number of training examples to the number of weak classifiers.
