Abstract

In recent years, quantum technology has been developing in several fields, including quantum computing. Quantum Computing (QC) is a type of computing that uses quantum bits (qubits) instead of classical bits to perform calculations. Unlike classical computers, which use binary logic (0s and 1s), quantum computers exploit quantum phenomena (such as superposition and entanglement), which are expected to bring advantages over traditional Machine Learning (ML). However, QC is still an emerging field, and further research is needed to fully understand its potential in ML. In this regard, for example, it is still unclear how QC compares with traditional ML in terms of stability and generalization. Starting from this consideration, this work intends to experimentally compare quantum and traditional ML. In particular, the classical Support Vector Machine (SVM), which belongs to the traditional ML approach, and a Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM), as Quantum Machine Learning (QML) approach (which combines quantum computing and machine learning through quantum properties), are applied to a specific case study related to electroencephalographic (EEG) data. The comparison was conducted on similar development environments to ensure comparable results from a measurement standpoint. The results highlight that there are some critical points involving the generalization ability of QML algorithms, possibly related to an appropriate and specific hyperparameter search.

Comparison of QSVM with Other Machine Learning Algorithms on EEG Signals

Gamzepelin Aksoy, Murat Karabatak

In the Brain-Computer Interfaces where Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are used, fast and accurate analysis of data is one of the important steps. For this aim, various machine learning methods are being developed. In this study, we compared the performance of the Quantum Powered Support Vector Machine (QSVM) with classical machine learning algorithms for classifying EEG data. Analyzes were performed in the quantum simulation environment and due to the inadequacies in the quantum environment, the number of samples in the data set was reduced by using Principal Component Analysis. The maximum performance of QSVM was found to be 99.47% in the experiments. When all the results in the analyzes are examined, it is seen that the QSVM has achieved good performance. By removing the limitations of quantum computers and making changes in the hyperparameters of quantum-based algorithms, the use of quantum-based machine learning methods in the classification of EEG data can provide better results in terms of accuracy and runtime.

Quantum computing has been proven to excel in factorization issues and unordered search problems due to its capability of quantum parallelism. This unique feature allows exponential speed-up in solving certain problems. However, this advantage does not apply universally, and challenges arise when combining classical and quantum computing to achieve acceleration in computation speed. This paper aims to address these challenges by exploring the current state of quantum machine learning and benchmarking the performance of quantum and classical algorithms in terms of accuracy. Specifically, we conducted experiments with three datasets for binary classification, implementing Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Quantum SVM (QSVM) algorithms. Our findings suggest that the QSVM algorithm outperforms classical SVM on complex datasets, and the performance gap between quantum and classical models increases with dataset complexity, as simple models tend to overfit with complex datasets. While there is still a long way to go in terms of developing quantum hardware with sufficient resources, quantum machine learning holds great potential in areas such as unsupervised learning and generative models. Moving forward, more efforts are needed to explore new quantum learning models that can leverage the power of quantum mechanics to overcome the limitations of classical machine learning.

Emotion Recognition (ER) is an important capability that is increasingly being used to enhance the user experience in various fields such as, Human-Computer interaction, Cognitive Neuroscience, Neurofeedback, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Mental Health, etc. Emotions are generated in the limbic system, a set of brain structures that are involved in emotional processing, memory, and motivation. ER from electroencephalography (EEG) signals has gained attention from researchers in recent years as it provides a more accurate and non-intrusive way of understanding human emotions. This research paper presents a comprehensive study of the use of Quantum Support Vector Machines (QSVMs) and Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) for ER using EEG signals. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential of quantum machine learning algorithms in improving the performance of ER tasks compared to classical Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. The model was simulated using IBM Qiskit due to the limited resources of quantum computers. Intriguingly, the experimental results contradict the speed-up claims of Quantum Computing (QC) by exhibiting longer computation times and lesser accuracy when compared to traditional methods. SVM and NN yield 68.5% and 69.2% accuracy while the quantum version gives 63% and 65.2% accuracy on the benchmark dataset SEED. This research provides evidence that Quantum Machine Learning (QML) algorithms need to be improved for ER from EEG signals and provide a reliable and non-intrusive way of understanding human emotions.

Quantum computing has demonstrated remarkable prowess in addressing factorization issues and unordered search problems, showcasing its quantum parallelism capabilities that enable exponential speed-up for specific computational challenges. However, the seamless integration of classical and quantum computing to harness accelerated computation speed presents unique challenges. This paper delves into the intricacies of this integration, focusing on the current state of quantum machine learning (QML) and evaluating the performance of classical and quantum algorithms in terms of accuracy. To address these challenges, we conducted experiments utilizing three datasets for binary classification, implementing both classical Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Quantum SVM (QSVM) algorithms. Our investigations reveal that the QSVM algorithm consistently outperforms its classical counterpart on complex datasets. Notably, the performance gap between quantum and classical models widens with increasing dataset complexity, shedding light on the susceptibility of simple classical models to overfitting when confronted with intricate datasets.Despite the ongoing development required for quantum hardware with ample resources, our findings underscore the significant potential of quantum machine learning, particularly in unsupervised learning and generative models. As we move forward, it is imperative to channel more efforts into exploring novel quantum learning models capable of harnessing the inherent power of quantum mechanics to overcome the constraints of classical machine learning. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on the future of quantum computing, emphasizing the need for continued exploration and innovation in quantum machine learning methodologies.

Quantum Computing in Machine Learning: Performance Evaluation and Comparative Analysis

Simões, Jaime Marques

This thesis explores the integration of quantum computing into Machine Learning (ML), aiming to evaluate the effectiveness and limitations of quantum-enhanced models compared to classical approaches. As quantum technologies continue to develop, they offer the potential for solving complex computational problems more efficiently, particularly in fields requiring high-dimensional data processing. A literature review is conducted to contextualize current advancements in Quantum Machine Learning, highlighting theoretical benefits and existing practical limitations. This work investigates whether quantum methods, specifically the Quantum Support Vector Classifier (QSVC), can provide measurable improvements over its classical counterpart. The QSVC, implemented using IBM’s Qiskit ML library, replaces traditional kernel functions with quantum kernels computed via quantum circuits and feature maps, embedding classical data into a Hilbert space. The experimental portion of this thesis compares classical and quantum models on two distinct datasets: one from the healthcare domain and another from particle physics. Various parameters are tested in a constrained grid search due to the high computational demands of quantum circuits. Results indicate that while quantum models are significantly more resource-intensive, they can achieve comparable or even improved performance on data that has more complex relations between their variables. However, scalability remains a major challenge. This work concludes that although QSVC does not yet consistently outperform classical models, it offers advantages in specific contexts and lays the groundwork for identifying future use cases where quantum computing may offer a practical advantage in ML.
