Novel Enhanced Unsupervised Quantum Clustering Algorithm

Every day, humans generate approximately 2.5 billion gigabytes of new data. While this data is crucial in applications such as drug development and cybersecurity, it is mostly unstructured and unlabeled which makes it difficult to process effectively. Businesses and governments alike solve this problem by using machine learning algorithms to characterize the data and make decisions with it. However, conventional machine learning processes consume excessive computational resources and time: one of the most prominent, K-means clustering, has an approximate time complexity of O(n^2), where n is the input data size. This quadratic time complexity causes scalability problems with large datasets. In this project, I have created an improved, more scalable clustering algorithm by leveraging quantum computation. The approach (new Q-means) involves an Angle Embedding Feature Map, an d-dimensional SWAP Test, and a dynamic, threshold distance-based termination criteria. After implementing this algorithm using the IBM Qiskit SDK, the new Q-means algorithm was run several times on different dimensional datasets. On an average, the new Q-means performed 18% better than the K-means algorithm based on the Adjusted Rand Index. In terms of the simulation execution time, the new Q-means was about six times faster than the existing Q-means due to a multi-threaded implementation and faster convergence. The time complexity of the new Q-means without a Quantum Random Access Memory (QRAM) is O(n^2). While the existing Q-means algorithm, which utilizes QRAM, has a time complexity of O(n(log n)^p), the time complexity of the new Q-means with QRAM is significantly better—O(n).

A Portable Computer Network Laboratory Model for Competency-Based Curriculum

Computer networking technology has greatly evolved and continues to be an integral part of different aspects of our lives. The technology is no longer confined to business settings but is now predominant in personal and home devices. This has created a surge of career opportunities and consequently created a demand for manpower with a matching skill set for supporting the data networks that depend on these technologies. A competency-based curriculum (CBC) is a paradigm shift in education that transforms the conventional learning processes by promoting hands-on learner experiences and the traditional emphasis on basic networking principles. Experimental learning within a lab environment is essential to reinforcing computer networking knowledge and to ascertain that the learner is mastering content as well as getting better at what they are doing. CBC has great potential and is likely to transform examination-based learning, which results in less innovation at all levels of education. One of the challenges of learning computer networking is the provision of and access to networking laboratory equipment. This paper addresses this gap by proposing a portable computer network laboratory that will support the delivery of a competency-based computer network engineering curriculum.

PEMBELAJARAN YANG BERORIENTASI HIGHER ORDER THINGKING SKILLS

Indonesian language lessons are related to how to study science through concepts systematically, and facts obtained through discovery. However, in practice, the learning model applied to students through conventional techniques is the dominant technique, while other learning models such as discussion, experimentation, inquiry, and cooperative learning are rarely carried out. In the conventional learning process, students are less creative to develop thinking skills, so they become passive and less involved in learning. Schools as an educational institution have an important role in efforts to develop and realize the potential of students. The development of this potential can be started by growing students' thinking skills and abilities. In this case, think critically, creatively, logically, systematically, and argumentatively. These abilities need to be possessed by students, as a provision in dealing with the problems that will be faced, both problems that exist in school and problems that exist in everyday life. To achieve this, the author tries to change the learning method oriented to higher order thinking skills by using the Discovery Based Learning model.
