Abstract

Achieving low cost learning with reliable accuracy is one of the important goals to achieve intelligent machines to save time, energy and perform learning process over limited computational resources machines. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for a perceptron neural network inspired by quantum computing composite from a single neuron to classify inspirable linear applications after a single training iteration O(1). The algorithm is applied over a real world data set and the results are outer performs the other state-of-the art algorithms.

Autonomous Quantum Perceptron Neural Network

Alaa Sagheer, Mohammed Zidan

Recently, with the rapid development of technology, there are a lot of applications require to achieve low-cost learning. However the computational power of classical artificial neural networks, they are not capable to provide low-cost learning. In contrast, quantum neural networks may be representing a good computational alternate to classical neural network approaches, based on the computational power of quantum bit (qubit) over the classical bit. In this paper we present a new computational approach to the quantum perceptron neural network can achieve learning in low-cost computation. The proposed approach has only one neuron can construct self-adaptive activation operators capable to accomplish the learning process in a limited number of iterations and, thereby, reduce the overall computational cost. The proposed approach is capable to construct its own set of activation operators to be applied widely in both quantum and classical applications to overcome the linearity limitation of classical perceptron. The computational power of the proposed approach is illustrated via solving variety of problems where promising and comparable results are given.

An artificial neuron implemented on an actual quantum processor

Francesco Tacchino, Chiara Macchiavello, Dario Gerace +1 more

Abstract Artificial neural networks are the heart of machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence. Historically, the simplest implementation of an artificial neuron traces back to the classical Rosenblatt’s “perceptron”, but its long term practical applications may be hindered by the fast scaling up of computational complexity, especially relevant for the training of multilayered perceptron networks. Here we introduce a quantum information-based algorithm implementing the quantum computer version of a binary-valued perceptron, which shows exponential advantage in storage resources over alternative realizations. We experimentally test a few qubits version of this model on an actual small-scale quantum processor, which gives answers consistent with the expected results. We show that this quantum model of a perceptron can be trained in a hybrid quantum-classical scheme employing a modified version of the perceptron update rule and used as an elementary nonlinear classifier of simple patterns, as a first step towards practical quantum neural networks efficiently implemented on near-term quantum processing hardware.

A Novel Autonomous Perceptron Model for Pattern Classification Applications

Alaa Sagheer, Mohammed Zidan, Mohammed M. Abdelsamea

Pattern classification represents a challenging problem in machine learning and data science research domains, especially when there is a limited availability of training samples. In recent years, artificial neural network (ANN) algorithms have demonstrated astonishing performance when compared to traditional generative and discriminative classification algorithms. However, due to the complexity of classical ANN architectures, ANNs are sometimes incapable of providing efficient solutions when addressing complex distribution problems. Motivated by the mathematical definition of a quantum bit (qubit), we propose a novel autonomous perceptron model (APM) that can solve the problem of the architecture complexity of traditional ANNs. APM is a nonlinear classification model that has a simple and fixed architecture inspired by the computational superposition power of the qubit. The proposed perceptron is able to construct the activation operators autonomously after a limited number of iterations. Several experiments using various datasets are conducted, where all the empirical results show the superiority of the proposed model as a classifier in terms of accuracy and computational time when it is compared with baseline classification models.

Artificial neural network architecture selection in a quantum computer

Adenilton José da Silva

Miniaturisation of computers components is taking us from classical to quantum physics domain. Further reduction in computer components size eventually will lead to the development of computer systems whose components will be on such a small scale that quantum physics intrinsic properties must be taken into account. The expression quantum computation and a first formal model of a quantum computer were first employed in the eighties. With the discovery of a quantum algorithm for factoring exponentially faster than any known classical algorithm in 1997, quantum computing began to attract industry investments for the development of a quantum computer and the design of novel quantum algorithms. For instance, the development of learning algorithms for neural networks. Some artificial neural networks models can simulate an universal Turing machine, and together with learning capabilities have numerous applications in real life problems. One limitation of artificial neural networks is the lack of an efficient algorithm to determine its optimal architecture. The main objective of this work is to verify whether we can obtain some advantage with the use of quantum computation techniques in a neural network learning and architecture selection procedure. We propose a quantum neural network, named quantum perceptron over a field (QPF). QPF is a direct generalisation of a classical perceptron which addresses some drawbacks found in previous models for quantum perceptrons. We also present a learning algorithm named Superposition based Architecture Learning algorithm (SAL) that optimises the neural network weights and architectures. SAL searches for the best architecture in a finite set of neural network architectures and neural networks parameters in linear time over the number of examples in the training set. SAL is the first quantum learning algorithm to determine neural network architectures in linear time. This speedup is obtained by the use of quantum parallelism and a non linear quantum operator.

A Quantum Machine Learning Approach Using an Optimized Application of Grover's Algorithm

Mohamed Yassine Cherif, Wided Lejouad Chaari, Olfa Belkahla Driss

This paper is about studying the application of quantum computing to develop machine learning methods, in order to optimize the time of calculation for processing extensive amounts of data, thanks to the use of the quantum superposition state of information, which enables to apply parallel computation for processing different parts of data simultaneously. In fact, we introduce a quantum approach, using Grover's algorithm, to search for the optimal parameters of a perceptron classifier as a fundamental element for developing a quantum neural network, with the proposition of the training process and the comparison with the related works. The proposed approach enables yielding the optimal parameters of a perceptron classifier with one application of Grover's search method rather than applying the iterative approaches that were previously introduced in the literature.

Exploring the Synergy Between Neuro-Inspired Algorithms and Quantum Computing in Machine Learning

G Nithya, Praveen Kumar R, V. Dineshbabu +2 more

The integration of neuro-inspired algorithms and quantum computing in machine learning presents a promising frontier for addressing complex computational challenges in modern AI. Neuro-inspired algorithms, such as artificial neural networks (ANNs), deep learning (DL), and spiking neural networks (SNNs), have demonstrated impressive performance in various domains, including image recognition, natural language processing, and autonomous systems. This research explores the synergy between neuro-inspired algorithms and quantum computing, focusing on how quantum-enhanced machine learning models can accelerate training and inference processes in neuro-inspired systems. Quantum neural networks (QNNs) leverage quantum principles, such as superposition and entanglement, to represent and manipulate data in ways that classical systems cannot. By combining quantum computing's parallelism with the flexibility and learning capability of neuro-inspired algorithms, the proposed hybrid models can provide exponential speedups in tasks involving large-scale data processing and optimization. To evaluate the performance of these hybrid models, experiments were conducted using a quantum-enhanced deep learning model applied to image classification and a neuro-inspired algorithm augmented by quantum optimization techniques for optimization tasks. The quantum-enhanced deep learning model achieved a 45% reduction in training time compared to classical deep learning models while maintaining similar accuracy levels. These findings highlight the significant potential of combining quantum computing with neuro-inspired algorithms, opening new avenues for faster, more efficient machine learning models capable of solving previously unsolvable problems. The synergy between these two domains could lead to breakthroughs in areas like artificial general intelligence (AGI), drug discovery, and autonomous systems, where large-scale optimization and pattern recognition are critical.
