Quantum Machine Learning
In this video we review the basics of quantum machine learning. Firmly believed to be one of the areas in quantum computing providing some quantum advantage the earliest, quantum machine learning incorporates quantum phenomena in order to boost classical algorithms in machine learning. From supervised methods to unsupervised ones, quantum machine learning is showing promising features to deal with large amounts of data and improve training times in specific tasks.
