Connectivity determines the capability of sparse neural network quantum states
Brandon Barton, Juan Carrasquilla, Christopher Roth, Agnes Valenti
Abstract The lottery ticket hypothesis (LTH) posits that within overparametrized neural networks, there exist sparse subnetworks that are capable of matching the performance of the original model when trained in isolation from the original initialization. We extend this hypothesi…
