Quantum-Structured World Models (QSWMs) for Predictive Latent Dynamics

Hailong Jiang, Emran Hossain, Feng Yu et al.

World models learn latent states that summarize interaction histories, evolve over time, and support prediction, simulation, or planning. Most existing world models represent these states using classical vectors, probability distributions, recurrent hidden states, or transformer activations. In this paper, we introduce Quantum-Structured World Models (QSWMs), a quantum-inspired framework for predictive world modeling with structured latent states, latent transition operators, and measurement-inspired decoding maps. We study whether mathematical structures inspired by quantum theory, such as complex-valued representations and density-matrix-like latents, provide useful inductive biases for world modeling. We establish three foundational properties: classical inclusion, predictive sufficiency, and structured compactness. We then instantiate complex-valued and density-matrix-like QSWM variants and evaluate them on elementary cellular automata against strong classical baselines. Results show promising local predictive potential for complex-valued QSWMs, while also revealing limitations in long-horizon rollout, density-matrix variants

2nd Place Solution in Google AI Open Images Object Detection Track 2019

Ruoyu Guo, Cheng Cui, Yuning Du et al.

We present an object detection framework based on PaddlePaddle. We put all the strategies together (multi-scale training, FPN, Cascade, Dcnv2, Non-local, libra loss) based on ResNet200-vd backbone. Our model score on public leaderboard comes to 0.6269 with single scale test. We proposed a new voting method called top-k voting-nms, based on the SoftNMS detection results. The voting method helps us merge all the models' results more easily and achieve 2nd place in the Google AI Open Images Object Detection Track 2019.

Learning from Large-scale Noisy Web Data with Ubiquitous Reweighting for Image Classification

Jia Li, Yafei Song, Jianfeng Zhu et al.

Many advances of deep learning techniques originate from the efforts of addressing the image classification task on large-scale datasets. However, the construction of such clean datasets is costly and time-consuming since the Internet is overwhelmed by noisy images with inadequate and inaccurate tags. In this paper, we propose a Ubiquitous Reweighting Network (URNet) that learns an image classification model from large-scale noisy data. By observing the web data, we find that there are five key challenges, i.e., imbalanced class sizes, high intra-classes diversity and inter-class similarity, imprecise instances, insufficient representative instances, and ambiguous class labels. To alleviate these challenges, we assume that every training instance has the potential to contribute positively by alleviating the data bias and noise via reweighting the influence of each instance according to different class sizes, large instance clusters, its confidence, small instance bags and the labels. In this manner, the influence of bias and noise in the web data can be gradually alleviated, leading to the steadily improving performance of URNet. Experimental results in the WebVision 2018 challenge with 16 million noisy training images from 5000 classes show that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art models and ranks the first place in the image classification task.
