The combination of contextual side information and search is a powerful paradigm in the scope of artificial intelligence. The prior knowledge enables the identification of possible solutions but may be imperfect. Contextual information can arise naturally, for example in game AI where prior knowledge is used to bias move decisions. In this work we investigate the problem of taking quantum advantage of contextual information, especially searching with prior knowledge. We propose a new generalization of Grover's search algorithm that achieves the optimal expected success probability of finding the solution if the number of queries is fixed. Experiments on small-scale quantum circuits verify the advantage of our algorithm. Since contextual information exists widely, our method has wide applications. We take game tree search as an example.

In this study,we propose a novel method to reconstruct the 3D shapes of transparent objects using images captured by handheld cameras under natural lighting *** combines the advantages of an explicit mesh and multi-layer perceptron(MLP)network as a hybrid representation to simplify the capture settings used in recent *** obtaining an initial shape through multi-view silhouettes,we introduced surface-based local MLPs to encode the vertex displacement field(VDF)for reconstructing surface *** design of local MLPs allowed representation of the VDF in a piecewise manner using two-layer MLP networks to support the optimization *** local MLPs on the surface instead of on the volume also reduced the search *** a hybrid representation enabled us to relax the ray–pixel correspondences that represent the light path constraint to our designed ray–cell correspondences,which significantly simplified the implementation of a single-image-based environment-matting *** evaluated our representation and reconstruction algorithm on several transparent objects based on ground truth *** experimental results show that our method produces high-quality reconstructions that are superior to those of state-of-the-art methods using a simplified data-acquisition setup.

Caching is one of the most important techniques for the popular distributed big data processing framework Spark. For this big data parallel computing framework, which is designed to support various applications based on in-memory computing, it is not possible to cache every intermediate result due to the memory size limitation. The arbitrariness of cache application programming interface(API) usage,the diversity of application characteristics, and the variability of memory resources constitute challenges to achieving high system execution performance. Inefficient cache replacement strategies may cause different performance problems such as long application execution time, low memory utilization, high replacement frequency, and even program execution failure resulting from out of memory. The cache replacement strategy currently adopted by Spark is the least recently used(LRU) strategy. Although LRU is a classical algorithm and has been widely used, it lacks consideration for the environment and workloads. As a result, it cannot achieve good performance under many scenarios. In this paper, we propose a novel cache replacement algorithm, least partition weight(LPW). LPW takes comprehensive consideration of different factors affecting system performance, such as partition size, computational cost, and reference count. The LPW algorithm was implemented in Spark and compared against the LRU as well as other state-of-the-art mechanisms. Our detailed experiments indicate that LPW obviously outperforms its counterparts and can reduce the execution time by up to 75% under typical workloads. Furthermore, the decreasing eviction frequency also shows the LPW algorithm can generate more reasonable predictions.
