Quantum machine learning: a classical perspective
Recently, increased computational power and data availability, as well as
algorithmic advances, have led machine learning techniques to impressive
results in regression, classification, data-generation and reinforcement
learning tasks. Despite these successes, the proximity to the physical limits
of chip fabrication alongside the increasing size of datasets are motivating a
growing number of researchers to explore the possibility of harnessing the
power of quantum computation to speed-up classical machine learning algorithms.
Here we review the literature in quantum machine learning and discuss
perspectives for a mixed readership of classical machine learning and quantum
computation experts. Particular emphasis will be placed on clarifying the
limitations of quantum algorithms, how they compare with their best classical
counterparts and why quantum resources are expected to provide advantages for
learning problems. Learning in the presence of noise and certain
computationally hard problems in machine learning are identified as promising
directions for the field. Practical questions, like how to upload classical
data into quantum form, will also be addressed.Comment: v3 33 pages; typos corrected and references adde
One-Class Classification: Taxonomy of Study and Review of Techniques
One-class classification (OCC) algorithms aim to build classification models
when the negative class is either absent, poorly sampled or not well defined.
This unique situation constrains the learning of efficient classifiers by
defining class boundary just with the knowledge of positive class. The OCC
problem has been considered and applied under many research themes, such as
outlier/novelty detection and concept learning. In this paper we present a
unified view of the general problem of OCC by presenting a taxonomy of study
for OCC problems, which is based on the availability of training data,
algorithms used and the application domains applied. We further delve into each
of the categories of the proposed taxonomy and present a comprehensive
literature review of the OCC algorithms, techniques and methodologies with a
focus on their significance, limitations and applications. We conclude our
paper by discussing some open research problems in the field of OCC and present
our vision for future research.Comment: 24 pages + 11 pages of references, 8 figure
