Quantum Machine Learning

This month we proudly present three talks:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Title: An Introduction to Tech Nation's Applied AI Programme - A National Network to Support AI Founders.

Presenter: Harry Rhys Davies, Applied AI Lead, Tech Nation

Level: Introductory

Abstract:
As part of the UK Government’s AI Sector Deal, Tech Nation is launching the UK’s first peer-to-peer, growth programme for applied AI companies that aim to solve real-world problems. Applied AI 1.0, sponsored by the UK Government’s Office for Artificial Intelligence, will kick-off this September and is inspired by Tech Nation’s successful Future Fifty, Upscale and Fintech programmes.

The free, non-residential, six-month programme will first and foremost function as practical network for founders that facilitates peer-to-peer learning across the C-suite (CEO, CTO, COO and more) through values of honesty, intimacy and trust, as well as providing opportunities to learn from later-stage founders, meet investors and potential clients, and join us on an international trip.

Title: The Autodidact's Guide to Building an AI Application

Presenter: Armaghan Ahmed

Level: Introductory

Abstract:
An intro-level walkthrough for those interested in AI on a practical way to learn about the field by using ML in a side-project.

Title: Quantum Machine Learning

Presenter: Viacheslav Burenkov

Level: Introductory to Intermediate

Abstract:
Machine learning is becoming increasingly popular in today’s world, improving and creating new businesses across a broad range of industries, including healthcare, financial services, self-driving cars, and many others. An equally exciting emerging technology that has been gaining prominence in recent years is quantum computing. At their intersection lies quantum machine learning.

We present an overview of quantum computing, and show how the strange laws of quantum physics can be used to enhance aspects of conventional machine learning. We show what the advantages are, what the challenges are, and what the not-so-distant future of machine learning may look like. No prior knowledge of quantum physics is required.
