Classical $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ Models Match or Exceed Shallow Variational Quantum Circuits on Vision Benchmarks

arXiv:2608. 07822v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quaternion-valued neural networks and variational quantum circuits (VQCs) both derive local transformations from $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ geometry, yet their performance on classical supervised learning remains poorly understood.

The Spectral Neuron

arXiv:2608. 08003v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As machine learned models increase in complexity and expressive power, features of simpler models, such as interpretability and control over the shape of the modeled function are lost.

Decision-Focused Learning in Network Interdiction Games

arXiv:2608. 09036v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study decision-focused learning (DFL) in shortest-path network interdiction (SPNI) games, a Stackelberg game where an interdictor (leader) strengthens the networks' arcs against attacks, while an evader (follower) who is uncertain about costs of attacking network arcs relies on a machine-learned predictor to identify the shortest path.
