  • Publication number: 20240330535
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a programmable computer system having a processor system operable to perform processor system operations that include representing a set of candidate functions in a mathematical expression domain. The set of candidate functions defines relationships between data of an existing system. A set of known background theory is represented in the mathematical expression domain. The set of known background theory defines known relationships associated with the existing system. A model composition operation is performed that includes analyzing, in the mathematical expression domain, the set of candidate functions and the set of known background theory to generate a composed model that satisfies a target data fidelity in a manner that also satisfies a predetermined level of compatibility between the composed model and the set of known background theory.

  • Publication number: 20240330710
    Abstract: A method generates automated discovery of new scientific formulas. The method includes receiving a background theory associated with a phenomenon being studied. The processor receives a set of training data associated with the phenomenon being studied. The set of training data is processed in a machine learning model that generates candidate formulas from data points in the set of training data. Values of a numerical error-vector are generated for the candidate formulas. The candidate formulas are processed in a reasoning model. The operation of the reasoning model includes generating values of a theoretical error-vector based on the background theory. An output of a performance metric is generated based on a generalization of the theoretical error-vector and a reasoning error. The processor determines whether one of the candidate formulas is a meaningful and valid new scientific formula, based on a behavior of the reasoning error and the reasoning performance metric.

  • Publication number: 20240028939
    Abstract: A quantum computer-implemented system, method, and computer program product for quantum topological domain analysis (QTDA). The QTDA method achieves an improved exponential speedup and depth complexity of O(n log(1/(??))) where n is the number of data points, ? is the error tolerance, ? is the smallest nonzero eigenvalue of the restricted Laplacian, and achieves quantum advantage on general classical data. The QTDA system and method efficiently realizes a combinatorial Laplacian as a sum of Pauli operators; performs a quantum rejection sampling and projection approach to build the relevant simplicial complex repeatedly and restrict the superposition to the simplices of a desired order in the complex; and estimates Betti numbers using a stochastic trace/rank estimation method that does not require Quantum Phase Estimation. The quantum circuit and QTDA method exhibits computational time and depth complexities for Betti number estimation up to an error tolerance ?.
