I've secretly wondered if the next (ahem) quantum leap in output quality will arrive with quantum computing wherein answering 10,000 if statements simultaneously would radically change the inference pipeline
But I am also open to the fact that I may be thinking of this in terms of 'faster horses' and not the right question
- spindump8930 1y agoIt's not clear how your perception of quantum computing would lead to 'faster horses' in the current view of NN architectures - keep mind that the common view of 'exploring many paths simultaneously' is at best an oversimplification (https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=2026 https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=2026). That said, perhaps advances in computing fundamentals would lead to something entirely new (and not at all horselike).
- anon291 1y agoIf you can tie in a loss function for a neural network into the quantum excitement state of a quantum system, then presumably, letting the system settle at the energy minimum would be equivalent to a training step, but perhaps much faster.
