Despite its undeniable success, classical machine learning remains a resource-intensive process. Practical computational efforts for training state-of-the-art models can now only be handled by high speed computer hardware. As this trend is expected to continue, it should come as no surprise that an increasing number of machine learning researchers are investigating the possible advantages of quantum computing. The scientific literature on Quantum Machine Learning is now enormous, and a review of its current state that can be comprehended without a physics background is necessary. The objective of this study is to present a review of Quantum Machine Learning from the perspective of conventional techniques. Departing from giving a research path from fundamental quantum theory through Quantum Machine Learning algorithms from a computer scientist’s perspective, we discuss a set of basic algorithms for Quantum Machine Learning, which are the fundamental components for Quantum Machine Learning algorithms. We implement the Quanvolutional Neural Networks (QNNs) on a quantum computer to recognize handwritten digits, and compare its performance to that of its classical counterpart, the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Additionally, we implement the QSVM on the breast cancer dataset and compare it to the classical SVM. Finally, we implement the Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC) and many classical classifiers on the Iris dataset to compare their accuracies.
With a growing number of web services, discovering services that can match with a user's query becomes a challenging task. It's very tedious for a service consumer to select the appropriate one according to her/his needs. In this paper, we propose a non-logic-based matchmaking approach that uses the Correlated Topic Model (CTM) to extract topic from semantic service descriptions and model the correlation between the extracted topics. Based on the topic correlation, service descriptions can be grouped into hierarchical clusters. In our approach, we use the Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) formalism to organize the constructed hierarchical clusters into concept lattices according to their topics. Thus, service discovery may be achieved more easily using the concept lattice. In our approach, topic models are used as efficient dimension reduction techniques, which are able to capture semantic relationships between word-topic and topic-service interpreted in terms of probability distributions. In our experiment, we compared the accuracy of the our hierarchical clustering algorithm with that of a classical hierarchical agglomerative clustering. The comparisons of Precision@n and Normalised Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCGn) values for our approach, Apache lucene and SAWSDL-MX2 Matchmaker indicate that the method based on CTM presented in this paper outperform all the others matchmakers in terms of ranking of the most relevant services.
Abstract-With the increasing number of published Web services providing similar functionalities, it's very tedious for a service consumer to make decision to select the appropriate one according to her/his needs. In this paper, we explore several probabilistic topic models: Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (PLSA), Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Correlated Topic Model (CTM) to extract latent factors from web service descriptions. In our approach, topic models are used as efficient dimension reduction techniques, which are able to capture semantic relationships between word-topic and topic-service interpreted in terms of probability distributions. To address the limitation of keywords-based queries, we represent web service description as a vector space and we introduce a new approach for discovering and ranking web services using latent factors. In our experiment, we evaluated our Service Discovery and Ranking approach by calculating the precision (P@n) and normalized discounted cumulative gain (NDCGn).
The Internet of Thing has been identified as one of the emerging technologies in IT. It interconnects and integrates large numbers of digital and physical entities by capability of appropriate information and communication technologies, to enable building enormous useful and unimaginable services and applications. However, building new IoT services or applications is a fastidious task since it is faced to several challenges such as interoperability, context-awareness, discovery, availability, decision-making. In this article, the authors are interested in coordination challenges that are still open despite the efforts of international organizations and scientific research groups. In fact, the authors outline a recent literature review of existing IoT coordination approaches. In the literature, researchers tend to use orchestration or choreography as a way to meet this challenge. A classification and the vision on this topic are presented. The authors propose an approach that is more likely to respond to the co-ordination challenge.
