Maurizio Ferrari Dacrema

Very happy to see a full room at our #RecSys2025 tutorial "Hands on #QuantumComputing for Recommender Systems" presented by me and Paolo Cremonesi. We covered gate model QC and #quantumannealing with examples on community detection and feature selection.

Back from IEEE #QuantumWeek in Albuquerque.
Next stop: Bologna for the Italian Information Science Conference, where tomorrow I'll give an invited talk on using #MachineLearning for #QuantumComputing: circuit design, minor embedding, and bosonic state preparation. See you there!

Comment on arXiv:2307.08384 "Efficient Quantum State Preparation with Walsh Series" In this paper, we discuss the Walsh Series Loader (WSL) algorithm, proposed by. In particular, we observe that the paper does not describe how to implement the term of order zero of the operator WSL i...

See you in Albuquerque for #QCE2025 where my PhD student @ricpellini will present “On the Correct Implementation of the Walsh Series Loader”.

We propose how to implement an essential component that was not described in the original paper.

Heading back from #SIGIR2025!

It was a pleasure to spend this week in the beautiful Padova meeting and discussing with the community, alongside my PhD students Riccardo Pellini and Michael Benigni

Heading to Padova to attend #SIGIR25, see you there!

Good Science

XKCD on fire today. ”If you think curiosity without rigor is bad, you should see rigor without curiosity.” xkcd.com/3101/

Entering my last month as a visiting researcher at the SQMS Center, #Fermilab, working on state preparation for Bosonic #quantumcomputing.

It has been a great experience so far! Sad to see this period come to a close, but I’m glad the project we've been working on will continue as I return home.

Go forth and reproduce... other people's RecSys experiments and report your findings to the RecSys community via the RecSys Reproducibility Track! Abstract deadline 🚨 May 6 🚨

🧨 Submission system open. Leaderboard goes live!

The RecSys Challenge is one of the most important global competitions in the field of recommender systems. This year, Synerise co-organizes the challenge: t.co/mHXNL6aNQn

🚀 Let the challenge begin—good luck to all! 🚀

Which came first?

Check the call of the reproducibility track, which is also open to resource, methodology and reflective papers!

Dear colleague/student, prepare to reschedule all meetings!

Excited to be leaving for a three months visiting at #Fermilab, Chicago, where I will work on machine learning methods for state preparation on bosonic #quantumcomputing! The expedition is funded by the EU NGI Enrichers program @ngi4eu.bsky.social
