(Qubiter Logo) Check out the following paper unveiled last night in ArXiv: An Open-Source, Industrial-Strength Optimizing Compiler for Quantum Programs, by Robert S. Smith, Eric C. Peterson, Mark G. Skilbeck, Erik J. Davis, https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.13961 This is an exciting development for me since I have been a proponent and practitioner of the art of quantum compilers for a long time. The new "optimized quantum compiler" by Rigetti is a computer program that tackles the problem of searching for the "shortest" quantum circuit. Note, however, that it comes with some ... Read More

They’ve all been trending, and it seems like everybody knows that it’s time to stay at home, indoors, and as far apart (physically) as possible. We’re in the midst of a global pandemic, the worst we’ve seen in a century, yet we still see people out and about, on the streets, congregating in large groups, against the unambiguous advice of experts and health professionals.Why jeopardize public safety? Is it due to a lack of information? A quick online search will produce results on how the virus ... Read More

Little Blue Pearl - named after our planet - has kept me occupied for several days during my 14-day Coronavirus isolation. It is fully functional although I suppose it needs a makeover in terms of its appearance. Like a child after summer break, this is going to be my show-and-tell. LBP is designed to process the pandemic data in a particular manner focusing mostly on the number of fatalities. I created LBP because I believe that the new Coronavirus and many other types of dangerous diseases are here ... Read More

When the coronavirus broke out in the Wuhan province of China in December 2019, Taiwan was immediately in harm’s way.  Taiwan is less than 100 miles from the China mainland, and as recently as January there were a dozen roundtrip flights between Wuhan and Taipei every week. Yet as of March 19, Taiwan has only 108 cases of the coronavirus and one death.  Why? Taiwan used the data from 2003 SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) epidemic that infected over 8,000 globally and killed 774, including 299 in the state ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Aaron Burciaga. Virtues should be digitized. As we speed toward reliance on machines to process more and more information and provide cognitive support for all types of decision-making, we must consider ways to imbue automated processes, data machinations and recommender systems with a sense of some of the finest human virtues. We are at the crossroads of a moral decision in artificial intelligence (AI) -- what I call the codification of virtue (or not) -- to address historic biases and impose just standards for reality bent on fair data and decision-making ...

Emergencies preparedness in public health response have been advised on 31st of December 2019 by the WHO China Country Office because of Cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology. Of the first 44 cases reported 25% were severely ill while the remaining 75% resulted in stable conditions. According to the authorities, pathogen identification tracing of the cause find the incubation period, still under investigation, as established to be set between 2 and 14 day. The exact definition of the incubation time frame would make clearer the impact of the virus ... Read More

Summary:  An interesting documentary about the earliest days of AI/ML and my alternate take on how we should really be describing the development of our profession to the newly initiated. What could be more natural in these days of the Corona Virus than binge watching great videos.  I was intrigued by a recent offer from Futurology who has sponsored “The History of Artificial Intelligence” on YouTube for free viewing.  The two-and-a-half-hour video is described as "the culmination of documentaries that cover the history and origins of computing-based artificial intelligence." ...

The mammal Pangolin is hunted as game meat for both medicinal purposes and food consumption. In addition, seven out of eight species of pangolins are threatened with extinction within the next generation. They have been a valuable commodity for millennia: already in ancient times, the Chinese people hunted them for their delicious meat, while in Africa they are sold at the market, and Vietnam considered as expensive local delicacies. The most ... Read More

Given that, as well as specified by the Order of Veterinarians, there is no possibility of infection transmission, of the novel COVID-19, from our pets; nevertheless our puppies can get infected by the human genome of the COVID-19, several studies highlight the mutations of the virus, as a cause of respiratory diseases, to be of different types and for this reason, it is considered necessary the examination of the causes and effects of the mutations of coronavirus in animals. At this time, there is no evidence that companion animals, ... Read More
