AbaQus Computing

Using quantum computers to accelerate machine learning.

AbaQus is a company that facilitates the adoption of quantum computing in various sectors. They provide a research platform for organizations to explore quantum computing applications, offering skill development, hardware access, and expertise in quantum algorithm development​1​. Recently, AbaQus proposed a novel feature selection algorithm to enhance machine learning workflows. This algorithm uses Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO), which can be solved using either classical or quantum computing. The method aims to optimize the selection of features in machine learning models, reducing complexity while preserving crucial information. It also allows users to control the number of features selected, offering a valuable tool for improving the efficiency and interpretability of machine learning models​2​. This brief overview covers the key points, but the actual work involves complex mathematical formulations and algorithmic steps.
