Abstract

In this paper, we introduce an emerging quantum machine learning (QML) framework to assist classical deep learning methods for biosignal processing applications. Specifically, we propose a hybrid quantum-classical neural network model that integrates a variational quantum circuit (VQC) into a deep neural network (DNN) for electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyogram (EMG), and electrocorticogram (ECoG) analysis. We demonstrate that the proposed quantum neural network (QNN) achieves state-of-the-art performance while the number of trainable parameters is kept small for VQC.

Enhancing Biosignal Intelligence Through Multi-Paradigm Quantum Learning: A Fusion of QRC, QGNNs, and Transferable Architectures

Ankita Awasthi, Kapil Deo Bodha, Vanya Arun +1 more

The study introduces an advanced quantum learning framework for biosignal processing that combines Quantum Reservoir Computing (QRC), Quantum Graph Neural Networks (QGNNs), quantum autoencoders and transfer learning. Previous models such as quEEGNet utilized variational quantum circuits in hybrid frameworks but struggled with complex training procedures and poor adaptability across different subjects. To solve existing problems the model utilizes QRC for temporal biosignal dependencies while QGNNs model spatial correlations between EEG/EMG electrodes and transfer learning addresses subject variability. The new quantum autoencoder model is designed to reduce data dimensionality and remove noise from biosignal datasets while making generalization more robust and inference more stable. The new architecture surpasses traditional CNN-LSTM and SVM models as well as hybrid quEEGNet models and achieves performance metrics of 89.3% EEG accuracy, 87.9% EMG accuracy, and 85.7% ECoG accuracy. The system showed strong performance in noisy environments at 5 dB SNR and needed just 10% of additional subject data to achieve good transfer learning adaptation. Quantum machine learning for biosignal analytics now achieves unprecedented standards in real-time performance while providing interpretability and scalability.

Deep learning is a modern approach to realize artificial intelligence. Many frameworks exist to implement the machine learning task; however, performance is limited by computing resources. Using a quantum computer to accelerate training is a promising approach.

Quantum Machine Learning (QML) is fast becoming a powerful instrument in medical diagnostics because it can process high-dimensional data and small samples efficiently. This paper is a detailed analysis of QML models used for disease prediction, with a relative comparison of Variational Quantum Classifiers (VQC), Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks (QCNN), and Quantum Support Vector Machines (QSVM) in clinical environments. We suggest a new multimodal quantumclassical hybrid approach that analyzes electronic health records (EHR), medical imaging, and biosignal data by means of dedicated QML pipelines with late fusion for ultimate decisionmaking. Recent IEEE literature is integrated in experimental performance glimpses to demonstrate the merits, difficulties, and viability of QML in real-world healthcare applications. The envisioned architecture provides the foundation for future applications of quantum-enhanced diagnostics with existing quantum simulators as well as emerging hardware.

Quantum machine learning for sleep staging of EEG signals

Ye Tian, Jie Ouyang

Sleep staging is an important task in the field of medicine and is significant for diagnosing sleep disorders and assessing overall health. Classical machine learning has made significant progress in this field, and with the development of quantum computing, quantum machine learning (QML) provides a new model for solving complex data classification tasks. In this paper, we propose a hybrid quantum-classical neural network (HQCNN) architecture based on electroencephalogram (EEG) single-channel signals for automating the sleep staging task. The classical part uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a long short-term memory network (LSTM) to extract features of the EEG signal, while the quantum part utilizes variational quantum circuit (VQC) for feature mapping and classification. We evaluated the model on different datasets. The results show that the model is satisfactory for classification. This indicates that the combination of quantum computing and machine learning has great potential and provides new research directions and technical approaches for developing more efficient computational models and dealing with complex data problems.

Hybrid Quantum–Classical AI Framework for Parkinson's Disease Prediction

Anjan Bandyopadhya, Pritam Sarkar, Sujata Swain +3 more

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neuro-degenerative condition with an urgent need for timely and pinpoint diagnosis for adequate treatment. Despite potential for prediction with traditional machine learning techniques, PD data remains difficult to solve for traditional machine learning techniques due to the high computational complexity and the nature of data. We introduce in this work a Hybrid Quantum-Classical AI Framework that combines advantages of QC and provide benefits in predictive accuracy as well as computational efficiency for real time Parkinson's disease detection. We use classical deep learning models in conjunction with Variational Quantum Circuits (VQC) to perform efficient feature extraction and classification of biomedical signals: speech and its recordings, gait analysis, and EEG data. We evaluate the performance of our proposed framework against deep learning models that are standard and based on the accuracy, precision, recall and processing time. Our experimental results suggest that our hybrid quantum classical model outperforms classical methods for both accuracy and efficiency, demonstrating the potential of quantum machine learning (QML) in healthcare. This work gives a taste of the quantum revolution realized in medical diagnostics and paves the way for what could in the future be quantum enhanced disease prediction.

DeepQMLP: A Scalable Quantum-Classical Hybrid Deep Neural Network Architecture for Classification

Mahabubul Alam, Swaroop Ghosh

Quantum machine learning (QML) is promising for potential speedups and improvements in conventional machine learning (ML) tasks (e.g., classification/regression). The search for ideal QML models is an active research field. This includes identification of efficient classical-to-quantum data encoding scheme, construction of parametric quantum circuits (PQC) with optimal expressivity and entanglement capability, and efficient output decoding scheme to minimize the required number of measurements, to name a few. However, most of the empirical/numerical studies lack a clear path towards scalability. Any potential benefit observed in a simulated environment may diminish in practical applications due to the limitations of noisy quantum hardware (e.g., under decoherence, gate-errors, and crosstalk). We present a scalable quantum-classical hybrid deep neural network (DeepQMLP) architecture inspired by classical deep neural network architectures. In DeepQMLP, stacked shallow Quantum Neural Network (QNN) models mimic the hidden layers of a classical feed-forward multi-layer perceptron network. Each QNN layer produces a new and potentially rich representation of the input data for the next layer. This new representation can be tuned by the parameters of the circuit. Shallow QNN models experience less decoherence, gate errors, etc. which make them (and the network) more resilient to quantum noise. We present numerical studies on a variety of classification problems to show the trainability of DeepQMLP. We also show that DeepQMLP performs reasonably well on unseen data and exhibits greater resilience to noise over QNN models that use a deep quantum circuit. DeepQMLP provided up to 25.3% lower loss and 7.92% higher accuracy during inference under noise than QMLP.
