In a recorded presentation, Jul Jon R. General, Science Research Specialist II from the Quantum Circuit Simulation (QCS) Project, talked about "Quantum Computing Fundamentals and Decision Diagrams for Quantum Circuit Simulation," to introduce the fundamentals of quantum computing and the circuit model of quantum computers to the workshop participants. Ross Romuel A. Mariano, Science Research Specialist II, on the other hand, covered the fundamentals of tensor networks, their abstract structure operations, and applications in a presentation entitled "Tensor Networks and their Application to Quantum Circuit Simulation."
In the third session entitled "System and Method for Real-Time Data Collection with Image Classification," Michelle P. Neverida, Science Research Specialist II, demonstrated methods for real-time data generation using a cost-effective Internet of Things (IoT) and citizen science solution and illustrated earth observation capabilities using mobile devices through image classification. This technology was developed under the Kooha Project. On the second day of PCSC2023, Engr. Julius Noah H. Sempio, Sr. Science Research Specialist and Senior AI Engineer of the ASTI-Automated Labeling Machine (ASTI-ALaM) Project presented the project as well as delivered a talk entitled "Mga Mata Mula Sa Kalawakan: The ASTI-ALaM Project" that discussed ASTI-ALaM and the connection of space science and technology in the Philippines, remote sensing, AI and machine learning. also introduced the ASTI-ALaM Project of the Computer Software Division to PCSC2023 attendees. The DOST-ASTI team also held a series of meetings with representatives of the University of San Jose-Recoletos to discuss the agencies’ ongoing collaboration with the ASTI-ALaM Project.
