Physics-Informed Bayesian Optimization of Variational Quantum Circuits
Kim A. Nicoli, Christopher J. Anders, Lena Funcke +7
In this paper, we propose a novel and powerful method to harness Bayesian optimization for Variational Quantum Eigensolvers (VQEs) -- a hybrid quantum-classical protocol used to ap…
Gradients should stay on Path: Better Estimators of the Reverse- and Forward KL Divergence for Normalizing Flows
Lorenz Vaitl, Kim A. Nicoli, Shinichi Nakajima +1
We propose an algorithm to estimate the path-gradient of both the reverse and forward Kullback-Leibler divergence for an arbitrary manifestly invertible normalizing flow. The resul…
Path-Gradient Estimators for Continuous Normalizing Flows
Lorenz Vaitl, Kim A. Nicoli, Shinichi Nakajima +1
Recent work has established a path-gradient estimator for simple variational Gaussian distributions and has argued that the path-gradient is particularly beneficial in the regime i…
Diffeomorphic Counterfactuals with Generative Models
Ann-Kathrin Dombrowski, Jan E. Gerken, Klaus-Robert Müller +1
Counterfactuals can explain classification decisions of neural networks in a human interpretable way. We propose a simple but effective method to generate such counterfactuals. Mor…
Towards Robust Explanations for Deep Neural Networks
Ann-Kathrin Dombrowski, Christopher J. Anders, Klaus-Robert Müller +1
Explanation methods shed light on the decision process of black-box classifiers such as deep neural networks. But their usefulness can be compromised because they are susceptible t…
Fairwashing Explanations with Off-Manifold Detergent
Christopher J. Anders, Plamen Pasliev, Ann-Kathrin Dombrowski +2
Explanation methods promise to make black-box classifiers more transparent. As a result, it is hoped that they can act as proof for a sensible, fair and trustworthy decision-making…
