We introduce Bernstein-Vazirani Networks (BVNs), a non-variational quantum machine learning framework that leverages quantum interference for supervised learning, demonstrated on vision and representation learning tasks. In their standard form, BVNs follow the principle of quantum Fourier sampling: labelled data are placed in superposition and interfered in the Fourier basis to extract globally informative features. We then define generalised BVNs that enable interference in problem-adapted bases, yielding more expressive models under the same measurement budget as in the standard setting. BVNs achieve universal function approximation through (over)complete interference bases, while training of BVNs is gradient-free. Experiments on synthetic and real-world classification tasks, as well as implicit image representation, show strong generalisation capabilities and competitive performance with classical and quantum baselines.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

The possibility of inferring high-dimensional data inference in a model that consists of a prior and an auxiliary differentiable constraint given some additional information is considered, thereby allowing a range of potential applications in adapting models to new domains and tasks.

It is proved that any global minimizer of the trajectory balance objective can define a policy that samples exactly from the target distribution, and empirically demonstrate the benefits of the trajectories balance objective for GFlowNet convergence, diversity of generated samples, and robustness to long action sequenc...
