Research Type Theoretical We propose a new direction for machine learning research: C -algebraic ML a cross-fertilization between C -algebra and machine learning. The mathematical concept of C -algebra is a natural generalization of the space of complex numbers. It enables us to unify existing learning strategies, and construct a new framework for more diverse and information-rich data models. We explain why and how to use C -algebras in machine learning, and provide technical considerations that go into the design of C -algebraic learning models in the contexts of kernel methods and neural networks. Furthermore, we discuss open questions and challenges in C -algebraic ML and give our thoughts for future development and applications.

Pseudocode No The paper does not contain any structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper states: 'Although source codes are provided by the authors of the papers, as far as we know, no software for C -algebraic machine learning has been developed so far.' This refers to source codes provided by authors of *other* papers cited, not the current paper providing its own source code for the described methodology.
Open Datasets No The paper is theoretical and does not involve empirical experiments with datasets; therefore, no public or open dataset information is provided for training.
Dataset Splits No The paper is theoretical and does not involve empirical experiments with datasets; therefore, no dataset split information for validation is provided.
Hardware Specification No The paper is theoretical and does not describe any empirical experiments; therefore, no hardware specifications for running experiments are mentioned.
Software Dependencies No The paper is theoretical and does not describe any empirical experiments; therefore, no specific software dependencies with version numbers are listed.
Experiment Setup No The paper is theoretical and does not describe any empirical experiments; therefore, no experimental setup details like hyperparameters or training settings are provided.
