    Abstract: Computational systems implement problem solving using hybrid digital/quantum computing approaches. A problem may be represented as a problem graph which is larger and/or has higher connectivity than a working and/or hardware graph of a quantum processor. A quantum processor may be used determine approximate solutions, which solutions are provided as initial states to one or more digital processors which may implement classical post-processing to generate improved solutions. Techniques for solving problems on extended, more-connected, and/or “virtual full yield” variations of the processor's actual working and/or hardware graphs are provided. A method of operation in a computational system comprising a quantum processor includes partitioning a problem graph into sub-problem graphs, and embedding a sub-problem graph onto the working graph of the quantum processor. The quantum processor and a non-quantum processor-based device generate partial samples. A controller causes a processing operation on the partial samples to generate complete samples.

    Abstract: Fully-supervised semantic segmentation machine learning models are augmented by ancillary machine learning models which generate high-detail predictions from low-detail, weakly-supervised data. The combined model can be trained over both fully- and weakly-supervised data. Only the primary model is required for inference, post-training. The combined model can be made self-correcting during training by adjusting the ancillary model's output based on parameters learned over both the fully- and weakly-supervised data. The self-correction module may combine the output of the primary and ancillary models in various ways, including through linear combinations and via neural networks. The self-correction module and ancillary model may benefit from disclosed pre-training techniques.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for computing problems represented as directed graphical models via quantum processors with topologies and coupling physics which correspond to undirected graphs. These include techniques for generating approximations of Bayesian networks via a quantum processor capable of computing problems based on a Markov network-based representation of such problems. Approximations may be generated by moralization of Bayesian networks to Markov networks, learning of Bayesian networks' probability distributions by Markov networks' probability distributions, or otherwise, and are trained by executing the resulting Markov network on the quantum processor.

    Abstract: Methods and systems represent constraint as an Ising model penalty function and a penalty gap associated therewith, the penalty gap separating a set of feasible solutions to the constraint from a set of infeasible solutions to the constraint; and determines the Ising model penalty function subject to the bounds on the programmable parameters imposed by the hardware limitations of the second processor, where the penalty gap exceeds a predetermined threshold greater than zero. Such may be employed to find quantum binary optimization problems and associated gap values employing a variety of techniques.

    Abstract: Systems, methods and aspects, and embodiments thereof relate to unsupervised or semi-supervised features learning using a quantum processor. To achieve unsupervised or semi-supervised features learning, the quantum processor is programmed to achieve Hierarchal Deep Learning (referred to as HDL) over one or more data sets. Systems and methods search for, parse, and detect maximally repeating patterns in one or more data sets or across data or data sets. Embodiments and aspects regard using sparse coding to detect maximally repeating patterns in or across data. Examples of sparse coding include L0 and L1 sparse coding. Some implementations may involve appending, incorporating or attaching labels to dictionary elements, or constituent elements of one or more dictionaries. There may be a logical association between label and the element labeled such that the process of unsupervised or semi-supervised feature learning spans both the elements and the incorporated, attached or appended label.
