Brain Tumor Diagnosis Using Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks
Integrating Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks (QCNNs) into medical
diagnostics represents a transformative advancement in the classification of
brain tumors. This research details a high-precision design and execution of a
QCNN model specifically tailored to identify and classify brain cancer images.
Our proposed QCNN architecture and algorithm have achieved an exceptional
classification accuracy of 99.67%, demonstrating the model's potential as a
powerful tool for clinical applications. The remarkable performance of our
model underscores its capability to facilitate rapid and reliable brain tumor
diagnoses, potentially streamlining the decision-making process in treatment
planning. These findings strongly support the further investigation and
application of quantum computing and quantum machine learning methodologies in
medical imaging, suggesting a future where quantum-enhanced diagnostics could
significantly elevate the standard of patient care and treatment outcomes.Comment: 10 pages, 9 figures, 45 reference
Quantum-Inspired Machine Learning: a Survey
Quantum-inspired Machine Learning (QiML) is a burgeoning field, receiving
global attention from researchers for its potential to leverage principles of
quantum mechanics within classical computational frameworks. However, current
review literature often presents a superficial exploration of QiML, focusing
instead on the broader Quantum Machine Learning (QML) field. In response to
this gap, this survey provides an integrated and comprehensive examination of
QiML, exploring QiML's diverse research domains including tensor network
simulations, dequantized algorithms, and others, showcasing recent
advancements, practical applications, and illuminating potential future
research avenues. Further, a concrete definition of QiML is established by
analyzing various prior interpretations of the term and their inherent
ambiguities. As QiML continues to evolve, we anticipate a wealth of future
developments drawing from quantum mechanics, quantum computing, and classical
machine learning, enriching the field further. This survey serves as a guide
for researchers and practitioners alike, providing a holistic understanding of
QiML's current landscape and future directions.Comment: 56 pages, 13 figures, 8 table

AVATAR - Machine Learning Pipeline Evaluation Using Surrogate Model
© 2020, The Author(s). The evaluation of machine learning (ML) pipelines is essential during automatic ML pipeline composition and optimisation. The previous methods such as Bayesian-based and genetic-based optimisation, which are implemented in Auto-Weka, Auto-sklearn and TPOT, evaluate pipelines by executing them. Therefore, the pipeline composition and optimisation of these methods requires a tremendous amount of time that prevents them from exploring complex pipelines to find better predictive models. To further explore this research challenge, we have conducted experiments showing that many of the generated pipelines are invalid, and it is unnecessary to execute them to find out whether they are good pipelines. To address this issue, we propose a novel method to evaluate the validity of ML pipelines using a surrogate model (AVATAR). The AVATAR enables to accelerate automatic ML pipeline composition and optimisation by quickly ignoring invalid pipelines. Our experiments show that the AVATAR is more efficient in evaluating complex pipelines in comparison with the traditional evaluation approaches requiring their execution
