Quantum semi-supervised kernel learning

Quantum Machine Intelligence Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Quantum machine learning methods have the potential to facilitate learning using extremely large datasets. While the availability of data for training machine learning models is steadily increasing, oftentimes it is much easier to collect feature vectors to obtain the corresponding labels. One of the approaches for addressing this issue is to use semi-supervised learning, which leverages not only the labeled samples, but also unlabeled feature vectors. Here, we present a quantum machine learning algorithm for training semi-supervised kernel support vector machines. The algorithm uses recent advances in quantum sample-based Hamiltonian simulation to extend the existing quantum LS-SVM algorithm to handle the semi-supervised term in the loss. Through a theoretical study of the algorithm’s computational complexity, we show that it maintains the same speedup as the fully-supervised quantum LS-SVM.
