Implementing Large Quantum Boltzmann Machines as Generative AI Models for Dataset Balancing

This study explores the implementation of large Quantum Restricted Boltzmann Machines (QRBMs), a key advancement in Quantum Machine Learning (QML), as generative models on D-Wave's Pegasus quantum hardware to address dataset imbalance in Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). By leveraging Pegasus's enhanced connectivity and computational capabilities, a QRBM with 120 visible and 120 hidden units was successfully embedded, surpassing the limitations of default embedding tools. The QRBM synthesized over 1.6 million attack samples, achieving a balanced dataset of over 4.2 million records. Comparative evaluations with traditional balancing methods, such as SMOTE and RandomOversampler, revealed that QRBMs produced higher-quality synthetic samples, significantly improving detection rates, precision, recall, and F1 score across diverse classifiers. The study underscores the scalability and efficiency of QRBMs, completing balancing tasks in milliseconds. These findings highlight the transformative potential of QML and QRBMs as next-generation tools in data preprocessing, offering robust solutions for complex computational challenges in modern information systems.

Adversarial attacks on hybrid classical-quantum Deep Learning models for Histopathological Cancer Detection

We present an effective application of quantum machine learning in histopathological cancer detection. The study here emphasizes two primary applications of hybrid classical-quantum Deep Learning models. The first application is to build a classification model for histopathological cancer detection using the quantum transfer learning strategy. The second application is to test the performance of this model for various adversarial attacks. Rather than using a single transfer learning model, the hybrid classical-quantum models are tested using multiple transfer learning models, especially ResNet18, VGG-16, Inception-v3, and AlexNet as feature extractors and integrate it with several quantum circuit-based variational quantum circuits (VQC) with high expressibility. As a result, we provide a comparative analysis of classical models and hybrid classical-quantum transfer learning models for histopathological cancer detection under several adversarial attacks. We compared the performance accuracy of the classical model with the hybrid classical-quantum model using pennylane default quantum simulator. We also observed that for histopathological cancer detection under several adversarial attacks, Hybrid Classical-Quantum (HCQ) models provided better accuracy than classical image classification models.

Histopathological Cancer Detection Using Hybrid Quantum Computing

We present an effective application of quantum machine learning in the field of healthcare. The study here emphasizes on a classification problem of a histopathological cancer detection using quantum transfer learning. Rather than using single transfer learning model, the work model presented here consists of multiple transfer learning models especially ResNet18, VGG-16, Inception-v3, AlexNet and several variational quantum circuits (VQC) with high expressibility. As a result, we provide a comparative analysis of the models and the best performing transfer learning model with the prediction AUC of approximately 93 percent for histopathological cancer detection. We also observed that for 1000 images with Resnet18, Hybrid Quantum and Classical (HQC) provided a slightly better accuracy of 88.5 percent than classical of 88.0 percent.
