This document provides a biography and background of Kwan-Yuet "Stephen" Ho, a data scientist at Leidos, and then summarizes his presentation on tensor networks and their applications in machine learning. Ho has a PhD in physics from the University of Maryland and has worked as a research scientist and machine learning engineer. The presentation defines tensor networks as a mathematical tool from quantum many-body theory that can efficiently represent many-body wavefunctions. It discusses how tensor networks are useful for constructing machine learning algorithms and provides examples of their applications in supervised and unsupervised learning.
