One of the most promising areas of research to obtain practical advantage is Quantum Machine Learning which was born as a result of cross-fertilisation of ideas between Quantum Computing and Classical Machine Learning. In this paper, we apply Quantum Machine Learning (QML) frameworks to improve binary classification models for noisy datasets which are prevalent in financial datasets. The metric we use for assessing the performance of our quantum classifiers is the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve AUC-ROC. By combining such approaches as hybrid-neural networks, parametric circuits, and data re-uploading we create QML inspired architectures and utilise them for the classification of non-convex 2 and 3-dimensional figures. An extensive benchmarking of our new FULL HYBRID classifiers against existing quantum and classical classifier models, reveals that our novel models exhibit better learning characteristics to asymmetrical Gaussian noise in the dataset compared to known quantum classifiers and performs equally well for existing classical classifiers, with a slight improvement over classical results in the region of the high noise.
最有前途的研究领域之一是量子机器学习,它是量子计算和经典机器学习思想交叉的结果。在本文中,我们将量子机器学习(QML)框架应用于改进嘈杂数据集的二进制分类模型,这些模型在金融数据集中很常见。我们用于评估量子分类器性能的指标是接收器操作特征曲线 AUC-ROC 的面积。通过结合混合神经网络、参数电路和数据重新上传等方法,我们创建了受 QML 启发的架构,并将其用于非凸 2 维和 3 维图形的分类。我们对新的 FULL HYBRID 分类器与现有量子和经典分类器模型进行了广泛的基准测试,结果表明,与已知的量子分类器相比,我们的新模型在数据集中的不对称高斯噪声方面表现出更好的学习特性,并且与现有的经典分类器表现相当,在高噪声区域略有提高。
