提出检测量子电路参数不确定性的新方法,提升量子机器学习可靠性。

Detecting underdetermination in parameterized quantum circuits

  • 基于局部二阶信息检测量子电路的预测不确定性
  • 在含噪声条件下仍保持检测鲁棒性
  • 适合关注量子机器学习安全性的研究者

机器学习模型的可靠性是核心问题,尤其体现在对某些输入预测不可信的情况。这通常源于模型家族中存在多个与训练数据一致但预测差异巨大的假设,即“不确定性问题”。随着量子机器学习(QML)的发展,该问题是否存在于量子模型中、能否沿用经典方法检测成为关键。本文首先综述了安全人工智能与可靠性相关概念,这些在量子机器学习中长期被忽视。随后,通过数值实验探索了一种基于局部二阶信息的方法,用于检测参数化量子电路中的不确定性,并证明其对一定水平的采样噪声具有鲁棒性。本工作为安全量子人工智能这一新兴重要领域提供了支持。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

A central question in machine learning is how reliable the predictions of a trained model are. Reliability includes the identification of instances for which a model is likely not to be trusted based on an analysis of the learning system itself. Such unreliability for an input may arise from the model family providing a variety of hypotheses consistent with the training data, which can vastly disagree in their predictions on that particular input point. This is called the underdetermination problem, and it is important to develop methods to detect it. With the emergence of quantum machine learning (QML) as a prospective alternative to classical methods for certain learning problems, the question arises to what extent they are subject to underdetermination and whether similar techniques as those developed for classical models can be employed for its detection. In this work, we first provide an overview of concepts from Safe AI and reliability, which in particular received little attention in QML. We then explore the use of a method based on local second-order information for the detection of underdetermination in parameterized quantum circuits through numerical experiments. We further demonstrate that the approach is robust to certain levels of shot noise. Our work contributes to the body of literature on Safe Quantum AI, which is an emerging field of growing importance.
