Efficient local linearity regularization to overcome catastrophic overfitting

Volkan Cevher, Grigorios Chrysos, Fanghui Liu, Elias Abad Rocamora

Catastrophic overfitting (CO) in single-step adversarial training (AT) results in abrupt drops in the adversarial test accuracy (even down to 0%). For models trained with multi-step AT, it has been observed that the loss function behaves locally linearly w ...

Quantum circuits for solving local fermion-to-qubit map- pings

Giuseppe Carleo, Jannes Willy E. Nys

Local Hamiltonians of fermionic systems on a lattice can be mapped onto local qubit Hamiltonians. Maintaining the lo-cality of the operators comes at the ex-pense of increasing the Hilbert space with auxiliary degrees of freedom. In order to retrieve the l ...
