Physics for deep learning
Cambridge University Press eBooks, pp. 221–253
Abstract
In this chapter, we change our viewpoint and focus on how physics can influence machine learning research. In the first part, we review how tools of statistical physics can help to understand key concepts in machine learning such as capacity, generalization, and the dynamics of the learning process. In the second part, we explore yet another direction and try to understand how quantum mechanics and quantum technologies could be used to solve data-driven task. We provide an overview of the field going from quantum machine learning algorithms that can be run on ideal quantum computers to kernel-based and variational approaches that can be run on current noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices.
