From Quantum Tunneling to Classical Optimization through Instantons
Jiayu Shen, Dylan Herman, Guneykan Ozgul +5
We use an instanton-based analysis to show that Path Integral Stochastic Gradient Descent (PISGD), a classical optimization algorithm instantiated from path integral Monte Carlo (P…
Quantum-Informed Portfolio Selection: An End-to-End Pipeline Validated on Trapped-Ion Hardware with Real Market Data
Romina Yalovetzky, Martin J. A. Schuetz, Zichang He +11
Portfolio diversification - a cornerstone of modern investment management - can be formulated as a Maximum Independent Set (MIS) problem on asset correlation graphs. Solving this p…
Entropy Distribution as a Fingerprint for Hallucinations in Generative Models
Mattia J. Villani, Pranav Deshpande, Akshay Seshadri +2
Large Language Models (LLMs) often generate factually incorrect outputs, commonly termed hallucinations, that undermine trust and limit deployment in high-stakes settings. Existing…
Anytime Training with Schedule-Free Spectral Optimization
Anuj Apte, Pranav Deshpande, Niraj Kumar +2
Standard neural network training relies on learning-rate schedules tied to a fixed horizon, leading to strong path dependence and costly re-tuning as data availability changes. Sch…
