Anomaly detection in high-energy physics using a quantum autoencoder

Variational Autoencoder based Anomaly Detection using Reconstruction Probability

We propose an anomaly detection method using the reconstruction probability from the variational autoencoder. The reconstruction probability is a probabilistic measure that takes into account the variability of the distribution of variables. The reconstruction probability has a theoretical background making it a more principled and objective anomaly score than the reconstruction error, which is...

Quantum anomaly in molecular physics.

The interaction of an electron with a polar molecule is shown to be the simplest realization of a quantum anomaly in a physical system. The existence of a critical dipole moment for electron capture and formation of anions, which has been confirmed experimentally and numerically, is derived. This phenomenon is a manifestation of the anomaly associated with quantum symmetry breaking of the class...

Quantum Physics: A Case for Anti-Realism?

Paraphrase Detection Using Recursive Autoencoder

In this paper, we tackle the paraphrase detection task. We present a novel recursive autoencoder architecture that learns representations of phrases in an unsupervised way. Using these representations, we are able to extract features for classification algorithms that allow us to outperform many results from previous works.

quantum physics: a case for anti-realism?

the aim of the present paper is to sbo» that anti-realism in science, 1vhich has a1;guab/y become more fashionable in recentyears, contrary to tuha: its proponents assert, cannot make use of quantum mechanics and its impressiue achievements as a frump card in justifying its claims. i will argue that scientific anti-realism far from providing scientific communiry with a progressive methodologica...
