Information Perspective to Probabilistic Modeling: Boltzmann Machines versus Born Machines

We compare and contrast the statistical physics and quantum physics inspired approaches for unsupervised generative modeling of classical data. The two approaches represent probabilities of observed data using energy-based models and quantum states, respectively. Classical and quantum information pa...
