Asking a Quantum Computer To Learn Chess
As humans, a quantum computer doesn't play chess at a grandmaster level by birth. Humans have to train very hard to become better and ultimately beat their opponents.On the one hand, they train by thinking of possible moves and evaluate which advantages and disadvantages every move has. They rank the different moves by value and build up a set of desired moves in their head. … [Read more...] about Asking a Quantum Computer To Learn Chess

Machine Learning Weekly #5
Tip of the weekData Scientists need to define technical problems appropriately. A well thought out problem definition phase of a project saves time, energy and effort.Problem definitions are clear statements describing the initial state of a problem that’s to be solved. These statements indicate problem properties such as the task to be solved, the system’s current performance, … [Read more...] about Machine Learning Weekly #5
