Shaping double descent in quantum extreme learning through model design

Sabri Meyer, Ege Yilmaz, Aurelien Lucchi +2

Increasing capacity can induce a machine learning model to generalize worse until it perfectly interpolates the training data, and better once it moves beyond interpolation. This i…

A General Approach to Dropout in Quantum Neural Networks

Francesco Scala, Andrea Ceschini, Massimo Panella +1

In classical Machine Learning, "overfitting" is the phenomenon occurring when a given model learns the training data excessively well, and it thus performs poorly on unseen data. A…
