Quantum support vector machine for big feature and big data classification.
Patrick Rebentrost, Masoud Mohseni, Seth Lloyd
Supervised machine learning is the classification of new data based on
already classified training examples. In this work, we show that the support
vector machine, an optimized linear and non-linear binary classifier, can be
implemented on a quantum computer, with exponential speedups in the size of the
vectors and the number of training data examples. At the core of the algorithm
is a non-sparse matrix simulation technique to efficiently perform a principal
component analysis and matrix inversion of the training data kernel matrix. We
thus provide an example of a quantum big feature and big data algorithm and
pave the way for future developments at the intersection of quantum computing
and machine learning.
