A Non-Monotonic Relationship: An Empirical Analysis of Hybrid Quantum Classifiers for Unseen Ransomware Detection

Le, Huu Phu, Do, Phuc Hao, Nguyen, Vo Hoang Long +1 more

Detecting unseen ransomware is a critical cybersecurity challenge where classical machine learning often fails. While Quantum Machine Learning (QML) presents a potential alternative, its application is hindered by the dimensionality gap between classical data and quantum hardware. This paper empirically investigates a hybrid framework using a Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC) interfaced with a high-dimensional dataset via Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Our analysis reveals a dual challenge for practical QML. A significant information bottleneck was evident, as even the best performing 12-qubit VQC fell short of the classical baselines 97.7\% recall. Furthermore, a non-monotonic performance trend, where performance degraded when scaling from 4 to 8 qubits before improving at 12 qubits suggests a severe trainability issue. These findings highlight that unlocking QMLs potential requires co-developing more efficient data compression techniques and robust quantum optimization strategies.

Drug-Gene Interactions in Oro-Digestive Cancer via Histone Demethylase Inhibitors

Swarnambiga Ayyachamy, Pradeep Kumar, Carlos Ardila

Introduction: Histone demethylase inhibitors (HDMIs) target histone demethylase enzymes, which play a key role in regulating gene expression. Quantum machine learning, particularly Variational Quantum Classifiers (VQCs), offers potential advantages by enabling efficient analysis of large-scale genomic data. Objectives: This study investigates the use of VQCs to predict and classify protein targets in drug-gene interactions involving HDMIs. VQCs can reveal subtle patterns, manage the complexity of genomic datasets, and deliver highly accurate predictions, surpassing the capabilities of traditional machine learning approaches. Methods: Drug-gene interactions within the HDMI signaling pathways were compiled from a dataset of 28,280 drug-gene pairs. A subset of 4,000 protein interactions was selected for quantum machine learning analysis. The Variational Quantum Classifier was employed, integrating classical and quantum components to transform the data into a higher-dimensional space, with iterative optimization of the quantum circuit. Results:The VQC achieved a classification accuracy of 97.88% in predicting drug-gene interactions. However, the model's ranking performance was moderate, possibly due to the complexity of the task or the chosen feature mapping approach. On a test dataset, the model demonstrated an accuracy of 97.68%, with 100% recall and high precision. Despite these results, a relatively low F1 score indicates potential performance discrepancies across different classes. Conclusions: The Variational Quantum Classifier shows strong potential in predicting protein targets involved in drug-gene interactions for histone demethylase inhibitors, contributing to advancements in precision medicine for Oro-digestive cancers. Nevertheless, further refinement and optimization of the model are needed to enhance its overall performance and robustness.

Design and Implement a Variational Quantum Classifier for Heart Disease Prediction

Vijayalaxmi Jeure, Veena K

Heart disease is one of the major global causes of death, requiring early and precise detection for efficient treatment.With advancements in quantum computing, Variational Quantum Circuits (VQCs) have gained recognition as a valuable technique for improving learning models in medical diagnosis.This study further explores the application of VQC-based models for heart disease prediction, leveraging quantum computing to enhance classification accuracy.A hybrid quantum-classical model has been developed, which combines classical preprocessing for feature extraction from patient datasets with a VQC-based classifier for medical predictions.The quantum circuit using variational parameters is optimized to reduce the loss function and facilitate effective learning from complex medical data.This proposed approach is tested on benchmark heart disease datasets and evaluated against classical Machine Learning (ML) models, including Support Vector Machines (SVMs), Random Forests, and Neural Networks.The experimental results show that VQC-based models achieve high accuracy and outperform classical models, notably on high-dimensional, non-linearly separable data.The quantum advantage of VQCs lies in their ability to encode and process data in a huge Hilbert space.However, challenges such as noise in near-term quantum devices and scalability issues remain key.This research underscores the efficacy of VQCbased quantum machine learning in medical diagnosis, paving the way for future studies on quantum-enhanced healthcare solutions.Further advancements in quantum hardware and hybrid learning techniques could allow quantum-assisted heart disease prediction to become an effective clinical tool.
