Educational objectives

The course will provide the foundations of theoretical, technical and practical aspects in the design and
implementation of machine learning systems, in particular neural networks based on the use of innovative
technologies such as Quantum Computing and Hyperdimensional Computing/Vector Symbolic Architectures, in
connection with the most advanced Deep Learning methodologies. The focus will be on the study of such
computational approaches for applications in the field of industrial and information engineering for the solution of
supervised and unsupervised problems in particular concerning optimization, approximation, regression,
interpolation, prediction, filtering, pattern recognition and classification. The main goal is to provide the student with
the ability to understand how to obtain advantages both from the quantum point of view (quantum advantage) and
from the use of distributed representations. The systems thus developed can then be used in applications related to
data-driven learning problems, i.e. in time series analysis, hyperdimensional computing and eXplainable AI,
considering the different real-world domains related to energy, aerospace, Earth observation, behavioral analysis,
bioengineering, finance, security, fraud detection and so on.

The main objective of the course is to enable students to develop hybrid and innovative systems mainly based on
Quantum Deep Neural Networks, distributed representations and hyperdimensional computing through an adequate
formulation of the problem, an appropriate choice of algorithms suitable for solving the problem itself and the
execution of experiments in laboratory activities so as to evaluate the effectiveness of the adopted techniques. The
applications of such systems will therefore be explored in vertical case studies such as, but not limited to, the
management of complex networks (smart grids, energy and goods distribution, biological and sociological networks,

etc.), the analysis of materials, the design of devices and circuits, automation and control systems, the inversion of
physical models and abstract organizational and decision-making models, telemedicine and so on.

Through a systematic laboratory activity, during which the methodologies related to the design and implementation of
quantum and hyperdimensional computing architectures will be taken into consideration, the student will integrate the
acquired knowledge to manage the complexity of inductive learning mechanisms and the real limits imposed by the
Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) quantum devices currently adopted, also and above all in function of the
application domains in the field of Industrial and Information Engineering that will be considered in the course. Particular
emphasis will be given to the understanding of the use of symbolic and hyperdimensional computing (HDC/VSA) for
efficient data processing, highlighting how this approach can offer significant computational and interpretative advantages compared to traditional methods.

Quantum technologies and quantum algorithms for information processing are rapidly evolving, considering the current
scenario based on short-term devices and hybrid quantum-classical approaches. Similarly, hyperdimensional and
(neuro)symbolic computing is establishing itself as a relevant paradigm for numerous applications with a high innovative
and technological coefficient. At the end of the course, the student will be able to communicate the knowledge acquired
to specialist and non-specialist interlocutors in the research and work fields in which he/she will carry out the subsequent
scientific and/or professional activity, also taking into account technological and sustainable development issues.

The adopted teaching methodology includes an autonomous and self-managed study activity during the development
of single-subject tasks, in a vertical manner on some specific theoretical and applicative topics using, for instance,
quantum resources available in the cloud such as IBM's Quantum Experience Platform, as well as quantum simulators
such as Qiskit, Pennylane and Flax in a Python environment, in addition to specific development frameworks for HDC
(TorchHD), all for the creation of machine learning systems applied to Industrial and Information Engineering
problems in the management, electrical, mechanical, logistics, biomedical fields and for the training of professional
and business skills capable of relating in the technical-scientific context of data analytics and business intelligence.

acquired knowledge to manage the complexity of inductive learning mechanisms and the real limits imposed by the
Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) quantum devices currently adopted, also and above all in function of the
application domains in the field of Industrial and Information Engineering that will be considered in the course. Particular
emphasis will be given to the understanding of the use of symbolic and hyperdimensional computing (HDC/VSA) for
efficient data processing, highlighting how this approach can offer significant computational and interpretative advantages compared to traditional methods.

Quantum technologies and quantum algorithms for information processing are rapidly evolving, considering the current
scenario based on short-term devices and hybrid quantum-classical approaches. Similarly, hyperdimensional and
(neuro)symbolic computing is establishing itself as a relevant paradigm for numerous applications with a high innovative

to specialist and non-specialist interlocutors in the research and work fields in which he/she will carry out the subsequent
scientific and/or professional activity, also taking into account technological and sustainable development issues.

The adopted teaching methodology includes an autonomous and self-managed study activity during the development
of single-subject tasks, in a vertical manner on some specific theoretical and applicative topics using, for instance,
quantum resources available in the cloud such as IBM's Quantum Experience Platform, as well as quantum simulators
such as Qiskit, Pennylane and Flax in a Python environment, in addition to specific development frameworks for HDC
(TorchHD), all for the creation of machine learning systems applied to Industrial and Information Engineering

Educational objectives

Devising new machine learning methods and statistical models is a fun and extremely fruitful “art”. But these powerful tools are not useful unless we understand when they work, and when they fail. The main goal of statistical learning theory is thus to study, in a
statistical framework, the properties of learning algorithms mainly in the form of so-called error bounds.
This course introduces the techniques that are used to obtain such results, combining methodology with theoretical foundations and computational aspects. It treats both the basic principles to design successful learning algorithms and the “science” of analyzing an algorithm’s statistical properties and performance guarantees.
Theorems are presented together with practical aspects of methodology and intuition to help students develop tools for selecting appropriate methods and approaches to problems in their own data analyses.
Methods for a wide variety of applied problems will be explored and implemented on open-source software like R (www.r-project.org), Keras (https://keras.io/) and TensorFlow (https://www.tensorflow.org/).

On successful completion of this course, students will:
know the main learning methodologies and paradigms with their strengths and weakness;
be able to identify a proper learning model for a given problem;
assess the empirical and theoretical performance of different learning models;
know the main platforms, programming languages and solutions to develop effective implementations.

Applying knowledge and understanding

Besides the understanding of theoretical aspects, thanks to applied homeworks and a final project possibly linked to hackathons or other data analysis competitions, the students will constantly be challenged to use and evaluate modern learning techniques and algorithms.

Making judgements

On successful completion of this course, students will develop a positive critical attitude towards the empirical and theoretical evaluation of statistical learning paradigms and techniques.

Communication skills

In preparing the report and oral presentation for the final project, students will learn how to effectively communicate original ideas, experimental results and the principles behind advanced data analytic techniques in written and oral form. They will also understand how to offer constructive critiques on the presentations of their peers.

Learning skills

The goal is of course to grow a active attitude towards continued learning throughout a professional career.
