Talk on quantum machine learning applications & networking with Prof. Dr. João Paulo Papa

Quantum computing emerged as a promising approach to cope with NP-hard problems. However, as the number of qubits increases, their fault tolerance decreases exponentially, characterizing the so-called Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era. Moreover, the number of qubits available in quantum computers is far from the ideal.

This talk reviews fundamental concepts about quantum machine learning and two applications: question-answering in natural language processing and pattern classification using the Optimum-Path Forest.

Meet Professor Papa at a small reception in front of the lecture hall with beer and pretzels!

More about Prof. Dr. João Paulo Papa

Prof. Dr. João Paulo Papa is Humboldt fellow and guest for three month at the ReMIC lab (Regensburg Medical Image Computing, Head: Prof. Dr. Palm) at OTH Regensburg as host institution.

Prof. Papa is full professor at the São Paulo State University (Unesp) in Brazil and has a strong background in Machine Learning.

He finished his PhD in Computer Science in 2008 with a work about Supervised Classification of Patterns using a Forest of Optimal Paths at State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil. This was followed by Post-Doc positons at UNICAMP, Brasil and Harvard University, USA. Since 2016, he was appointed as professor at Unsesp, Brazil and head of the Recogna lab. In 2017 he received his first Capes/Humboldt fellowship visiting OTH Regensburg and the ReMIC lab for several months. Since 2017 he is president of the Brazilian Chapter of the International Assiciation of Pattern Recognition and since 2020, he is Chair of the IEEE Task Force for Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management.

He published a huge amount of scientific papers (h-Index: 59) with more than 12k citations. He received several awards like the Future Startup Award (2022), Honorable Mention at the Workshop Tests and Dissertations at Sibgrapi (2022), the Inventor Prize by the Innovation Agency at University of Campinas (2019), the Best Paper Award at the 2nd International Conference on Biosignal Analysis, Processing and Systems of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (2018) and the Best Paper published in Pattern Recognition (2014), to mention only a few of them.
