用保守模型提升量子优化的可靠性,避免盲目外推。

Conservative quantum offline model-based optimization

  • 将量子神经网络与保守建模结合,防止预测外推偏差
  • 在基准任务上找到真实目标值更高的解,优于原始量子方法
  • 适合需要可靠离线优化的工程设计场景

离线模型基于优化(MBO)指仅使用固定历史数据集来优化黑箱目标函数,无需主动实验。近期工作提出量子极值学习(QEL),利用变分量子电路在少量数据上训练,学习高精度代理函数。然而如经典机器学习所指出,预测模型可能在未探索区域错误外推,导致选择过于乐观的解。本文提出将QEL与保守目标模型(COM)结合——一种旨在确保分布外输入谨慎预测的正则化技术。由此产生的混合算法COM-QEL,在保留量子神经网络表达能力的同时,通过保守建模保障泛化性。在基准优化任务上的实证结果表明,COM-QEL能更可靠地找到真实目标值更高的解,验证其在离线设计问题中的优越性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Offline model-based optimization (MBO) refers to the task of optimizing a black-box objective function using only a fixed set of prior input-output data, without any active experimentation. Recent work has introduced quantum extremal learning (QEL), which leverages the expressive power of variational quantum circuits to learn accurate surrogate functions by training on a few data points. However, as widely studied in the classical machine learning literature, predictive models may incorrectly extrapolate objective values in unexplored regions, leading to the selection of overly optimistic solutions. In this paper, we propose integrating QEL with conservative objective models (COM) - a regularization technique aimed at ensuring cautious predictions on out-of-distribution inputs. The resulting hybrid algorithm, COM-QEL, builds on the expressive power of quantum neural networks while safeguarding generalization via conservative modeling. Empirical results on benchmark optimization tasks demonstrate that COM-QEL reliably finds solutions with higher true objective values compared to the original QEL, validating its superiority for offline design problems.
