Disturbance rejection in pattern recognition: a realization of quantum neural network

In the field of artificial intelligence, pattern recognition is widely used to extract the abstract information in those high dimensional inputs of image, voice, or video. However, the interpretability of pattern recognition still remains understudied. The incomplete features extracted from system input still limit the recognition performance. To reject the disturbance of feature incompleteness, an error compensation is realized into the pattern recognition model under a quantum computation framework. The quantum-based recognition system fulfills the information transmission from input to output with the transformation of quantum states. Then, a compensation for the quantum state is used to reject those intermediate errors in the pattern recognition task. The experiment results in this paper indicate an effectiveness of the proposed method, with which the compensated Quantum Neural Network obtains a better performance. The proposed method brings a more robust recognition system under unknown disturbances.
