Ever wondered how generalization bounds in quantum machine learning compare to classical #ML theory? In classical ML, tools like Hoeffding's inequality provide theoretical guarantees on out-of-sample risk based on data and model complexity. But in the noisy quantum era, does noise redefine these bounds? Dive into our latest survey exploring the state of generalization in #QML and the challenges noise introduces.

@Riedl I couldn't agree more. Glad that this is being noticed.

Tomorrow, Monday, I'll give a keynote on Trustworthy AI from a fairness and adversarial robustness point of view at the #LXAI Workshop of the @NeuripsConf.
How does robustness relate to fairness?
How do you quantify robustness?
See you in New Orleans to chat!

Kitty Rivas is keeping company this #caturday morning as we ponder if we should write #iclr2023 rebuttals or call it quits.
