Multilevel Quantum Metaheuristics: Applications in Data Exploration explores the most recent advances in hybrid quantum-inspired algorithms. Combining principles of quantum mechanics with metaheuristic techniques for efficient data optimization, this book examines multilevel quantum systems characterized by qudits and higher-level quantum states as more robust alternatives to conventional bilevel quantum approaches. It introduces novel multilevel applications of quantum metaheuristics for addressing optimization problems in areas including function optimization, data analysis, scheduling, and signal processing. The book also showcases real-world examples, case studies, and contributions that emphasize the effectiveness of proposed multilevel techniques over existing bilevel methods. Researchers, professionals, and engineers working on intelligent computing, quantum computing, data processing, clustering, and analysis, and those interested in the synergies between quantum computing, metaheuristics, and multilevel quantum systems for enhanced data exploration and analysis will find this book to be of great value.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are a form of generative AI, based on Deep Learning, that rely on very large textual datasets, and are composed of hundreds of millions (or even billions) of parameters. LLMs can be trained and then refined to perform several NLP tasks like generation of text, summarization, translation, prediction, and more. Challenges and Applications of Generative Large Language Models assists readers in understanding LLMs, their applications in various sectors, challenges that need to be encountered while developing them, open issues, and ethical concerns. LLMs are just one approach in the huge set of methodologies provided by AI. The book, describing strengths and weaknesses of such models, enables researchers and software developers to decide whether an LLM is the right choice for the problem they are trying to solve. AI is the new buzzword, in particular Generative AI for human language (LLMs). As such, an overwhelming amount of hype is obfuscating and giving a distorted view about AI in general, and LLMs in particular. Thus, trying to provide an objective description of LLMs is useful to any person (researcher, professional, student) who is starting to work with human language. The risk, otherwise, is to forget the whole set of methodologies developed by AI in the last decades, sticking with only one model which, although very powerful, has known weaknesses and risks. Given the high level of hype around such models, Challenges and Applications of Generative Large Language Models (LLMs) enables readers to clarify and understand their scope and limitations.
