We find an application in quantum finite automata for the ideas and results of [JL21] and [JL22]. We reformulate quantum finite automata with multiple-time measurements using the algebraic notion of near-ring. This gives a unified understanding towards quantum computing and deep learning. When the near-ring comes from a quiver, we have a nice moduli space of computing machines with metric that can be optimized by gradient descent.

We present a local-to-global and measure-theoretical approach to understanding datasets. The core idea is to formulate a logifold structure and to interpret network models with restricted domains as local charts of datasets. In particular, this provides a mathematical foundation for ensemble machine learning. Our experiments demonstrate that logifolds can be implemented to identify fuzzy domains and improve accuracy compared to taking average of model outputs. Additionally, we provide a theoretical example of a logifold, highlighting the importance of restricting to domains of classifiers in an ensemble.

In this paper,we develop a local-to-global and measure-theoretical approach to understand datasets. The idea is to take network models with restricted domains as local charts of datasets. We develop the mathematical foundations for these structures, and show in experiments how it can be used to find fuzzy domains and to improve accuracy in data classification problems.

We formulate a mathematical setup for computational neural networks using noncommutative algebras and near-rings, in motivation of quantum automata. We study the moduli space of the corresponding framed quiver representations, and find moduli of Euclidean and non-compact types in light of uniformization.

We develop an algebro-geometric formulation for neural networks in machine learning using the moduli space of framed quiver representations. We find natural Hermitian metrics on the universal bundles over the moduli which are compatible with the GIT quotient construction by the general linear group, and show that their Ricci curvatures give a Kähler metric on the moduli. Moreover, we use toric moment maps to construct activation functions, and prove the universal approximation theorem for the multi-variable activation function constructed from the complex projective space.
