Quantum Bayesian Networks for Machine Learning
Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
Quantum Bayesian Networks (QBNs) represent a novel framework for machine learning, leveraging quantum superposition to enhance model robustness and interpretability. This paper investigates the application of QBNs in learning and inference, focusing on mitigating overfitting and improving the trustworthiness of model predictions. We present a theoretical analysis of QBNs' capabilities and demonstrate a practical implementation using a simplified quantum algorithm to illustrate key advantages. The core mechanism centers on exploiting quantum superposition to explore a wider range of potential solutions, reducing the likelihood of local optima during model training and prediction. The research aims to provide a foundational understanding and practical pathway toward leveraging the unique properties of quantum computing to advance machine learning.
