This paper presents a quantum convolutional neural network (QCNN) that classifies the happy and sad emotions from the fabled facial emotion recognition dataset (FER), FER-2013. The model uses the data re-uploading concept on the qubit(s) of the parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) in the quantum convolutional layer of the hybrid QCNN model, which achieved a 70.25 % validation accuracy on the test set. Later, a model averaging ensemble approach was implemented which yielded results motivating further investigation.

Quantum Enhanced Hybrid Face Recognition Using MultiGate-Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (MG-QCNN)

Chamarti Venkata Sri Vyshnavi, Dr. O. Srinivas Rao

Face recognition has become an essential biometric technology for applications such as security monitoring, user authentication, and intelligent surveillance systems. Conventional approaches based on deep neural networks, particularly convolution-based architectures, provide high recognition performance but often demand considerable computational resources and extended training durations as network complexity increases. To overcome these challenges, Quantum Machine Learning (QML) utilizes quantum computing concepts, including quantum superposition and entangled states, to achieve efficient feature representation and processing. This paper presents a Hybrid Quantum-Classical Face Recognition System built on a Multi-Gate Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (MG-QCNN). The proposed framework employs a 4-qubit variational quantum circuit that incorporates RY state encoding together with RX, RZ, and CNOT quantum operations to extract discriminative facial representations. In addition, a structural ablation analysis is conducted to investigate the influence of individual quantum components on the overall recognition capability of the model. To enhance spatial feature learning and classification performance, several classical neural network layers, namely convolution, batch normalization, max-pooling, dropout, and fully connected layers, are integrated after the quantum feature extraction stage. Within the hybrid framework, the quantum circuit is responsible for generating meaningful feature representations, whereas the classical neural network performs feature refinement and final identity classification. The framework is further combined with the DeepFace verification approach to perform facial similarity analysis and identity verification. Moreover, an Open-Set Face Recognition mechanism is incorporated to determine if an input facial image corresponds to a registered identity or represents an unseen individual. This capability increases system reliability and supports accurate unknown-person identification

A Deep Quantum Convolutional Neural Network Based Facial Expression Recognition For Mental Health Analysis

Sanoar Hossain, Saiyed Umer, Ranjeet Kumar Rout +1 more

The purpose of this work is to analyze how new technologies can enhance clinical practice while also examining the physical traits of emotional expressiveness of face expression in a number of psychiatric illnesses. Hence, in this work, an automatic facial expression recognition system has been proposed that analyzes static, sequential, or video facial images from medical healthcare data to detect emotions in people's facial regions. The proposed method has been implemented in five steps. The first step is image preprocessing, where a facial region of interest has been segmented from the input image. The second component includes a classical deep feature representation and the quantum part that involves successive sets of quantum convolutional layers followed by random quantum variational circuits for feature learning. Here, the proposed system has attained a faster training approach using the proposed quantum convolutional neural network approach that takes [Formula: see text] time. In contrast, the classical convolutional neural network models have [Formula: see text] time. Additionally, some performance improvement techniques, such as image augmentation, fine-tuning, matrix normalization, and transfer learning methods, have been applied to the recognition system. Finally, the scores due to classical and quantum deep learning models are fused to improve the performance of the proposed method. Extensive experimentation with Karolinska-directed emotional faces (KDEF), Static Facial Expressions in the Wild (SFEW 2.0), and Facial Expression Recognition 2013 (FER-2013) benchmark databases and compared with other state-of-the-art methods that show the improvement of the proposed system.
