Active Learning with Variational Quantum Circuits for Quantum Process Tomography
Quantum process tomography (QPT) is a fundamental tool for fully characterizing quantum systems. It relies on querying a set of quantum states as input to the quantum process. Previous QPT methods typically employ a straightforward strategy for randomly selecting quantum states, overlooking differences in informativeness among them. In this work, we propose a general active learning (AL) framework that adaptively selects the most informative subset of quantum states for reconstruction. We desig…

#Clojure map-interval
Like `map` -- apply function `f` to each element in `col` in turn and return the values returned in sequence, but in a single thread and pausing between each invocation of `f`.

Useful for example in circumstances where you're querying a rate-limited service.

Signals as a First-Class Citizen When Querying Knowledge Graphs
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) tightly integrate computation with physical entities, often generating vast amounts of time series data from thousands of sensors. Although knowledge graphs offer a powerful means to contextualize these data, existing approaches to integrating knowledge graphs with time series data lack a concept to model the continuous temporal values inherent in CPSs. This gap can make expressing computations on the sensor data cumbersome. In this work, we propose the integration…

«Sure, people from Latin-language-majority countries also list their “pronouns” in e-mail signatures and on social-media profiles, but this is, I think, largely the subconscious acceptance of the English-speakers’ hegemony over social norms (and queerness?).»

I'd even go one further and say "USian English's hegemony, both for online social norms generally and queerness in particular 🙈

At the Semantic Digital Humanities 2025 Workshop, Jose Maldonado-Rodríguez is presenting "Natural Language Querying for Humanities #KnowledgeGraphs A case study on the GOLEM KG". Main contribution is a bilingual dataset (English-Spanish) specifically designed to evaluate automatic text-to-SPARQL translation systems for GOLEM, a specialized humanities KG.

Good Morning #Canada
OTD in 1866, the Fenian Brotherhood crossed the Niagara River to invade Canada. This group was an Irish American organization that was dedicated to freeing Ireland from British rule, and they believed that if they captured Canada, they could use it as a bargaining tool. We could have become a nation of red-headed brawlers who were terrible hockey players.

Brunn-Minkowski and Reverse Isoperimetric Inequalities for Dual Quermassintegrals
This paper establishes two new geometric inequalities in the dual Brunn-Minkowski theory. The first, originally conjectured by Lutwak, is the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for dual quermassintegrals of origin-symmetric convex bodies. The second, generalizing Ball's volume ratio inequality, is a reverse isoperimetric inequality: among all origin-symmetric convex bodies in John's position, the cube maximizes the dual quermassintegrals.

Error Bounds for the Network Scale-Up Method
Epidemiologists and social scientists have used the Network Scale-Up Method (NSUM) for over thirty years to estimate the size of a hidden sub-population within a social network. This method involves querying a subset of network nodes about the number of their neighbours belonging to the hidden sub-population. In general, NSUM assumes that the social network topology and the hidden sub-population distribution are well-behaved; hence, the NSUM estimate is close to the actual value. However, bound…

hqQUBO: A Hybrid-querying Quantum Optimization Model Validated with 16-qubits on an Ion Trap Quantum Computer for Life Science Applications
AlphaFold has achieved groundbreaking advancements in protein structure prediction, exerting profound influence across biology, medicine, and drug discovery. However, its reliance on multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is inherently time-consuming due to the NP-hard nature of constructing MSAs. Quantum computing emerges as a promising alternative, compared to classical computers, offering the potentials for exponential speedup and improved accuracy on such complex optimization challenges. This wo…

I am at the same position as this post lines out. I’m neither hard core pro or anti LLMs. I think they are useful in specific contexts e.g. distilling and querying big chunks of text based information. They are not a hail mary solution to every problem.
