Deep learning models have achieved remarkable success in various domains, but their training process often faces challenges, particularly in navigating complex, high-dimensional loss landscapes. Traditional stochastic optimization methods like gradient descent can get trapped in local minima, hindering convergence and overall performance. This paper proposes a novel optimization algorithm, "Quantum-Inspired Stochastic Descent" (QISD), inspired by the principles of quantum mechanics, specifically superposition and interference. QISD leverages probabilistic amplitude modulation and interference patterns to guide the search for optimal parameters within deep learning models. The algorithm's core mechanism involves dynamically adjusting the probabilities (amplitudes) associated with different parameter updates, effectively creating interference patterns that enhance exploration and potentially escape local minima. We demonstrate that QISD can improve the convergence speed and final performance of deep learning models compared to standard stochastic gradient descent methods. The key contributions of this work lie in translating fundamental quantum concepts into a practical and effective optimization technique, addressing a critical bottleneck in the training of deep neural networks.
Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) is a cornerstone algorithm in training machine learning models, particularly deep neural networks. However, its performance degrades significantly as the dimensionality of the problem increases, a phenomenon known as the "curse of dimensionality." This paper introduces a novel optimization algorithm, Quantum-Inspired Stochastic Gradient Descent (QISGD), designed to mitigate this issue. QISGD draws inspiration from quantum mechanics, specifically the concepts of superposition and interference, to guide the stochastic updates. The algorithm utilizes a probability distribution that mimics a quantum state, enabling it to explore the loss landscape more effectively and potentially achieve faster convergence in high-dimensional spaces. We present a theoretical framework for QISGD and discuss its key components, including the initialization of the quantum state, the generation of stochastic updates, and the implementation of interference effects. The core idea is to treat the parameters of the model as a quantum state, allowing for a more nuanced exploration of the loss function. We analyze the algorithm's convergence properties and provide insights into its potential advantages over traditional SGD. The primary goal is to demonstrate that quantum-inspired techniques can provide a robust and efficient solution for high-dimensional optimization problems.
