Hamilton-Zero: A Neural Tensor-Network Foundation Model for Ground States of Arbitrary Quadratic Qubit Hamiltonians

Timothy Heightman, Elena Orlova, Philip Mantrov +1

A central promise of useful quantum advantage is the ability to compute ground states of Hamiltonian systems beyond the reach of classical simulation methods. Here we demonstrate t…

Variance Reduction for Heavy-Tailed Monetization Metrics in Ranking Experiments via Post-Stratification

Neeti Pokharna, Olivier Jeunen, Yatharth Saraf +1

Online evaluation of ranking and retrieval systems often relies on downstream monetization metrics such as app revenue or creator earnings. These metrics are typically heavy-tailed…

Benchmarking Simulacra AI's Quantum Accurate Synthetic Data Generation for Chemical Sciences

Fabio Falcioni, Elena Orlova, Timothy Heightman +2

In this work, we benchmark \simulacra's synthetic data generation pipeline against a state-of-the-art Microsoft pipeline on a dataset of small to large systems. By analyzing the en…

Powerful A/B-Testing Metrics and Where to Find Them

Olivier Jeunen, Shubham Baweja, Neeti Pokharna +1

Online controlled experiments, colloquially known as A/B-tests, are the bread and butter of real-world recommender system evaluation. Typically, end-users are randomly assigned som…

: Off-Policy Estimation with Pairs of Policies

Olivier Jeunen, Aleksei Ustimenko

The off-policy paradigm casts recommendation as a counterfactual decision-making task, allowing practitioners to unbiasedly estimate online metrics using offline data. This leads t…

Multi-Objective Recommendation via Multivariate Policy Learning

Olivier Jeunen, Jatin Mandav, Ivan Potapov +4

Real-world recommender systems often need to balance multiple objectives when deciding which recommendations to present to users. These include behavioural signals (e.g. clicks, sh…

Ito Diffusion Approximation of Universal Ito Chains for Sampling, Optimization and Boosting

Aleksei Ustimenko, Aleksandr Beznosikov

In this work, we consider rather general and broad class of Markov chains, Ito chains, that look like Euler-Maryama discretization of some Stochastic Differential Equation. The cha…
