Comparative Performance Analysis of SVM and QSVM in Breast Cancer Diagnosis

Gita Kartika, Muhamad Akrom

The application of machine learning has shown significant progress in various fields, including clinical data classification. This study presents a comparative analysis between the classical Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM) for breast cancer classification using the Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer (WDBC) dataset. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied as dimension reduction strategy across three configurations (PCA = 2, PCA = 4, and PCA = 6) to evaluate the sensitivity of both models to the feature space dimension. Preprocessing included log1p transformation on 22 skewed features, Manual SMOTE balancing, and MinMaxScaler normalization. SVM was optimized via GridSearchCV (80 parameter combinations, cv = 5), while QSVM employed a ZZFeatureMap quantum kernel (reps = 2, entanglement = full) on qasm_simulator. Experimental results demonstrate that SVM achieved superior accuracy across all configurations, with peak performance at PCA = 6 (Accuracy= 98.83%, AUC = 0.9985, Specificity = 1.0000, Sensitivity = 0.9688, Precision = 1.0000, NPV = 0.9817, and F1-score for malignant = 0.98). QSVM achieved its highest accuracy at PCA = 4 (92.98%), AUC = 0.9622, Sensitivity = 0.9219, Precision = 0.8939, NPV = 0.9524, and F1-score for malignant = 0.91. Across the three PCA configurations, QSVM exhibited a non-monotonic relationship between PCA dimensions and quantum kernel performance . These findings provide a quantitative benchmark for comparing quantum and classical machine learning in breast cancer diagnosis.

Enhanced QSVM with elitist non‐dominated sorting genetic optimisation algorithm for breast cancer diagnosis

P Jose, Shanmugasundaram Hariharan, M. Vimaladevi +3 more

Abstract Machine learning has emerged as a promising method for predicting breast cancer using quantum computation techniques. Quantum machine learning algorithms, such as quantum support vector machines (QSVMs), are demonstrating superior efficiency and economy in tackling complex problems compared to traditional machine learning methods. When compared with classical support vector machine, the quantum machine produces remarkably accurate results. The suggested quantum SVM model in this study effectively resolved the binary classification problem for diagnosing malignant breast cancer. This work introduces an enhanced approach to breast cancer diagnosis by integrating QSVM with elitist non‐dominated sorting genetic optimization (ENSGA), leveraging the strengths of both techniques to achieve more accurate and efficient classification results. ENSGA plays a crucial role in optimising QSVM parameters, ensuring that the model attains the best possible classification accuracy while considering multiple objectives simultaneously. Moreover, the quantum kernel estimation method demonstrated exceptional performance by achieving high accuracy within an impressive execution time of 0.14 in the IBM QSVM simulator. The seamless integration of quantum computation techniques with optimisation strategies such as ENSGA highlights the potential of quantum machine learning in revolutionising the field of healthcare, particularly in the domain of breast cancer diagnosis.
