CSCI-GA.3033-?076. Special Topics: Vision Meets Machine Learning

My critic: Machine learning (ML) gives us today the best tool/method for prediction. However, we don't know what it learns and does not reason at the time of execution. If Physics was developed by collecting data of falling objects the predictions for falling objects would be accurate, but one would not learn the laws F=ma and F=mg, where g is gravity.

Revisiting Quantum Theory:

Quantum Elastica April 2025

This paper presents quantum physics as a an alternative statistical theory to classical statistical theories, when both are derived from classical deterministic optimization criteria. In particular we apply quantum theory to the elastica, a well known problem in variational calculus. While this application demonstrates that the quantum method is an alternative statistical method, we also extend the quantum method to the case that there are initial and end boundary conditions. Naturally, as for all statistical theories, measurements are interpreted as knowledge acquisition clarifying the so called EPR paradox as an information aspect of quantum theory.

Quantum Knowledge in Phase Space August 2023

This paper presents quantum physics as a Bayesian theory, a statistical theory of knowledge (degree of belief) and it is subjective (to be precisely defined). It suggests, quantum physics is not a causal theory. Also, and specifically, it derives a probability density function in phase space as well as defining interference and entanglement in phase space.

This probability density in phase space is used for the two recently published papers addressing the existence of a time arrow, the trigger for the collapse of the wave function and the creation and anhillation of particles.
