Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
Quantum Machine Learning (QML) promises a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence, offering the potential to overcome the limitations of classical computation. This paper explores the application of QML to feature extraction, specifically focusing on utilizing quantum algorithms to enhance data analysis and modeling. We propose a novel framework that transforms traditional machine learning models into quantum algorithms, capitalizing on quantum computing's unique properties, such as superposition and entanglement, to achieve significantly faster feature extraction and improved model performance. The core claim is that leveraging quantum computation for feature extraction can drastically increase the efficiency of machine learning algorithms, particularly in tasks involving complex data. This work investigates the potential of QML for image recognition, natural language processing, and other domains, demonstrating the feasibility of a quantum-enhanced feature extraction pipeline. The paper outlines the theoretical underpinnings of the proposed framework, discusses challenges and future directions, and provides a preliminary assessment of the potential impact of QML on these fields.
