Quantum-Cognitive Neural Networks: Assessing Confidence and Uncertainty with Human Decision-Making Simulations by Milan Maksimovic, Ivan S. Maksymov

“…However, like many computer software systems, they can fail by generating confusing or erroneous outputs or by deferring to human operators to interpret the results and make final decisions. In this paper, we employ the recently proposed quantum tunnelling neural networks (QT-NNs) inspired by human brain processes alongside quantum cognition theory to classify image datasets while emulating human perception and judgment. …”
