Abstract

The early detection and accurate classification of diabetes health indicators are crucial for effective disease management and prevention. This study aims to compare the performance of classical and quantum machine learning models in feature selection and classification on the Diabetes Health Indicators dataset. Initially, classical machine learning methods were employed to preprocess the data, including normalization and scaling, followed by feature selection using Lasso regression. Various traditional models, such as Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forests, Gradient Boosting, K-Nearest Neighbors, and Naive Bayes, were evaluated. Among these, the Logistic Regression model achieved the highest accuracy at $85 \%$, while other models also demonstrated competitive performance with accuracies ranging from $82 \%$ to $85 \%$. Subsequently, quantum machine learning techniques were applied using the selected features to assess their effectiveness. Quantum circuits were created using Cirq, and parameter optimization was performed through Quantum Feature Mapping and Quantum Feature Transformation. The Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM) model attained an accuracy of $84.33 \%$, showing potential for matching the performance of traditional models. The results suggest that quantum machine learning models can offer comparable accuracy to classical methods in the classification of diabetes health indicators. This study highlights the potential benefits of integrating quantum techniques in complex data processing and recommends further exploration in future research to fully harness the capabilities of quantum machine learning.

Feature Selection Using Quantum Feature Maps: Performance Analysis of Classical and Quantum Models on the Breast Cancer Dataset

Sevdanur Genç

In this study, the performance of classical and quantum machine learning models was compared using the Breast Cancer dataset, which consists of diagnostic data aimed at classifying breast tumor types. Breast cancer, being one of the most common and life-threatening cancers in women, requires accurate diagnostic tools for early detection and effective treatment. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of quantum-assisted models through quantum feature selection methods. Initially, classical machine learning algorithms such as Support Vector Machines (SVM), Decision Trees, Random Forests, and Logistic Regression were applied to the dataset for baseline analysis. Subsequently, a quantum feature map was constructed using the Cirq library, enabling feature transformation based on this map. The classification was performed using the SVM model with the quantum-transformed features. The Logistic Regression and SVM models demonstrated the highest performance among classical machine learning models, achieving an accuracy rate of 96.49%, followed by Random Forest at 94.74% and Decision Tree at 92.11%. In the context of quantum feature transformation, the model utilizing the top five selected features achieved an accuracy rate of 94.74%, in contrast to 98.25% for the model trained with all features. These findings underscore the potential of quantum feature maps in enhancing model performance compared to classical techniques. The results suggest that quantum computing may offer significant advantages when integrated into machine learning frameworks, particularly in domains such as medical diagnostics, where high accuracy is crucial.

Prediction of diabetes using classical and quantum support vector machines

Shaghayegh Shahmohamadi, Hamid Reza Baghshahi, Hossein Davoodi Yeganeh

Blood glucose is one of the key indicators influencing the body’s metabolic performance. Accurate prediction and proactive management of this parameter are of paramount clinical importance. In this context, the analysis and evaluation of quantum machine learning (QML) algorithms for processing medical data and enhancing the predictive accuracy of health-related models have emerged as cutting-edge research directions in recent studies. Leveraging the principles of quantum physics and computation, QML algorithms serve as a promising alternative to classical methods for predicting chronic diseases. By mapping classical data into a quantum feature space and exploiting intrinsic quantum properties such as superposition and entanglement, these algorithms significantly enhance the ability to detect complex and latent patterns within datasets. In this study, the dataset was first preprocessed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for dimensionality reduction and noise suppression. Subsequently, the predictive performance of two quantum machine learning models—the Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM) and the Variational Quantum Circuit (VQC)—was evaluated and compared with that of the classical Support Vector Machine (SVM) for blood glucose level prediction. The results indicate that the QSVM model achieves a prediction accuracy of 90%, outperforming the classical SVM, which attained an accuracy of 74.4%. Moreover, the hybrid classical–quantum VQC model demonstrated the highest predictive performance, achieving an accuracy of 94.2%, thereby establishing it as the most effective approach for blood glucose level forecasting in this experimental setting.

Quantum Machine Learning for Diabetes Risk Prediction Using Patient Health Data

Kelwin Kong, Senghab Cheng, Sochary Vanda +3 more

Diabetes remains one of the common chronic diseases around the world and finding a good early prediction from clinical and lifestyle data is very important for timely help. Classical machine learning models such as regression, decision trees and random forests have been used for this purpose but the complicated non‑linear connections among clinical features might need richer ways of representation. Quantum Machine Learning (QML) gives an approach using quantum feature encoding and variational circuits to find patterns that are expensive to express with classical methods. In this study we show a diabetes prediction pipeline that compares baseline models—logistic regression, decision tree and random forest—with two quantum classifiers built in Qiskit: a Quantum Support Vector Classifier (QSVC) and a Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC). Using the Pima Indians Diabetes dataset we test all models on accuracy, precision, recall and F1‑score. The results show that the classical Random Forest classifier reaches the accuracy (0.73) beating both quantum classifiers. The Quantum Support Vector Classifier (QSVC 0.66) and the Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC 0.65) are still competitive. Do not outdo the classical baselines. These results agree with reports that in the present Noisy Intermediate‑Scale Quantum (NISQ) era quantum models usually match rather than surpass well‑tuned classical approaches on standard health‑care data and that a real quantum advantage will need larger data, deeper circuits and testing, on real quantum hardware.

Heart disease remains a leading cause of mortality globally, driving interest in advanced computational methods forearly prediction. This study presents a comparative analysis of classical machine learning techniques versus a QuantumSupport Vector Machine (QSVM) for predicting heart disease using a specialized dataset featuring standard clinicalmetrics alongside a unique 'QuantumPatternFeature. 'We implemented and evaluated six classical algorithms (LogisticRegression, K-Nearest Neighbors, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Naive Bayes, Gradient Boosting), employingRandomizedSearchCV for hyperparameter optimization. For the quantum approach, a QSVC utilizing Qiskit'sZZFeatureMap (reps=2) and FidelityQuantumKernel was trained and tested using a classical simulator. A classicalSupport Vector Classifier (SVC) with an RBF kernel served as an additional baseline. Performance was assessed on a20% hold-out test set using accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and confusion matrices. Results indicate that tunedclassical models, particularly Logistic Regression and Gradient Boosting, achieved the highest accuracy (93.0%),significantly outperforming the simulated QSVC (79.0%). The classical SVC baseline also surpassed the QSVM with89.0% accuracy. Furthermore, the QSVM exhibited substantially higher computational times for both training andprediction on the simulator compared to all classical methods. The findings suggest that for this dataset size and thespecific simulated QSVM configuration, classical machine learning approaches offer superior performance andefficiency, and the 'QuantumPatternFeature' did not confer a discernible advantage within this quantum implementationframework.
