Support vector machines on the D-Wave quantum annealer

Dennis Willsch, Madita Willsch, Hans A. De Raedt +1 more

Kernel-based support vector machines (SVMs) are supervised machine learning algorithms for classification and regression problems. We introduce a method to train SVMs on a D-Wave 2000Q quantum annealer and study its performance in comparison to SVMs trained on conventional computers. The method is applied to both synthetic data and real data obtained from biology experiments. We find that the quantum annealer produces an ensemble of different solutions that often generalizes better to unseen data than the single global minimum of an SVM trained on a conventional computer, especially in cases where only limited training data is available. For cases with more training data than currently fits on the quantum annealer, we show that a combination of classifiers for subsets of the data almost always produces stronger joint classifiers than the conventional SVM for the same parameters.

Performance Evaluation of CMOS Annealing with Support Vector Machine

Ryoga Fukuhara, Makoto Morishita, Takahiro Katagiri +3 more

In this study, support vector machine (SVM) performance was assessed using a quantum-inspired complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) annealer. During performance evaluation, the accuracy rate in binary classification problems was the primary focus. SVM performance, when running on a CPU (classical computation) and quantum-inspired annealer, was comparatively analyzed. The performance outcome was evaluated using a CMOS annealing machine, and accuracy rates of 93.7%, 92.7%, and 97.6% were obtained for linearly separable problem and nonlinearly separable problems 1 and 2, respectively. According to these results, a CMOS annealing machine can achieve an accuracy rate that closely rivals that of classical computation.

Quantum Annealing based SVM Outperforms Classical SVM in Cloud Feature Remote Sensing Image Classification

Indranil Misra, S. Manthira Moorthi, Debajyoti Dhar

The increasing complexity and volume of remote sensing data necessitate advanced computational techniques for efficient and accurate image classification. This study explores the efficacy of Quantum Annealing based Support Vector Machines (QASVM) in comparison to classical Support Vector Machines (SVM) for classifying cloud features in remote sensing images. Quantum annealing, leveraging principles of quantum mechanics, promises to solve optimization problems more efficiently and accurately than classical methods, particularly in high-dimensional data spaces typical of remote sensing applications. Our experimental framework involved the classification of cloud features using a comprehensive dataset of Indian Nano Satellite (INS-2B) Nano-MX satellite imagery. The QA-SVM is implemented on a D-Wave quantum annealer based on the Adiabatic Quantum Computation (AQC) model, while the classical SVM utilizes a traditional computing setup. Performance metrics, including overall accuracy and F1 score, are evaluated. The results demonstrated that QA-SVM achieved higher overall accuracy and F1 score compared to its classical counterpart on the Nano-MX test image. It is found that the overall accuracy of QA-SVM is increased by 6.7% while the F1 score is increased by 4.5% with respect to classical SVM. This performance gain is attributed to the quantum annealer’s ability to explore a vast solution space more effectively, avoiding local minima that often hinder classical SVMs.
