We present a novel methodology for automated feature subset selection from a pool of physiological signals using Quantum Annealing (QA). As a case study, we will investigate the effectiveness of QA-based feature selection techniques in selecting the optimal feature subset for stress detection. Features are extracted from four signal sources: foot EDA, hand EDA, ECG, and respiration. The proposed method embeds the feature variables extracted from the physiological signals in a binary quadratic model. The bias of the feature variable is calculated using the Pearson correlation coefficient between the feature variable and the target variable. The weight of the edge connecting the two feature variables is calculated using the Pearson correlation coefficient between two feature variables in the binary quadratic model. Subsequently, D-Waves clique sampler is used to sample cliques from the binary quadratic model. The underlying solution is then re-sampled to obtain multiple good solutions and the clique with the lowest energy is returned as the optimal solution. The proposed method is compared with commonly used feature selection techniques for stress detection. Results indicate that QA-based feature subset selection performed equally as that of classical techniques. However, under data uncertainty conditions such as limited training data, the performance of quantum annealing for selecting optimum features remained unaffected, whereas a significant decrease in performance is observed with classical feature selection techniques. Preliminary results show the promise of quantum annealing in optimizing the training phase of a machine learning classifier, especially under data uncertainty conditions.

The success of the application of machine-learning techniques to compilation tasks can be largely attributed to the recent development and advancement of program characterization, a process that numerically or structurally quantifies a target program
. While great achievements have been made in identifying key features to characterize programs, choosing a correct set of features for a specific compiler task remains an ad hoc procedure. In order to guarantee a comprehensive coverage of features, compiler engineers usually need to select excessive number of features. This, unfortunately, would potentially lead to a selection of multiple similar features, which in turn could create a new problem of bias that emphasizes certain aspects of a programs characteristics, hence reducing the accuracy and performance of the target compiler task. In this paper, we propose FEAture Selection for compilation Tasks (FEAST), an efficient and automated framework for determining the most relevant and representative features from a feature pool. Specifically, FEAST utilizes widely used statistics and machine-learning tools, including LASSO, sequential forward and backward selection, for automatic feature selection, and can in general be applied to any numerical feature set. This paper further proposes an automated approach to compiler parameter assignment for assessing the performance of FEAST. Intensive experimental results demonstrate that, under the compiler parameter assignment task, FEAST can achieve comparable results with about 18% of features that are automatically selected from the entire feature pool. We also inspect these selected features and discuss their roles in program execution.
New annealing schedules for quantum annealing are proposed based on the adiabatic theorem. These schedules exhibit faster decrease of the excitation probability than a linear schedule. To derive this conclusion, the asymptotic form of the excitation
probability for quantum annealing is explicitly obtained in the limit of long annealing time. Its first-order term, which is inversely proportional to the square of the annealing time, is shown to be determined only by the information at the initial and final times. Our annealing schedules make it possible to drop this term, thus leading to a higher order (smaller) excitation probability. We verify these results by solving numerically the time-dependent Schrodinger equation for small size systems
We develop a general method for incentive-based programming of hybrid quantum-classical computing systems using reinforcement learning, and apply this to solve combinatorial optimization problems on both simulated and real gate-based quantum computer
s. Relative to a set of randomly generated problem instances, agents trained through reinforcement learning techniques are capable of producing short quantum programs which generate high quality solutions on both types of quantum resources. We observe generalization to problems outside of the training set, as well as generalization from the simulated quantum resource to the physical quantum resource.
Boltzmann Machines constitute a class of neural networks with applications to image reconstruction, pattern classification and unsupervised learning in general. Their most common variants, called Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) exhibit a good tr
ade-off between computability on existing silicon-based hardware and generality of possible applications. Still, the diffusion of RBMs is quite limited, since their training process proves to be hard. The advent of commercial Adiabatic Quantum Computers (AQCs) raised the expectation that the implementations of RBMs on such quantum devices could increase the training speed with respect to conventional hardware. To date, however, the implementation of RBM networks on AQCs has been limited by the low qubit connectivity when each qubit acts as a node of the neural network. Here we demonstrate the feasibility of a complete RBM on AQCs, thanks to an embedding that associates its nodes to virtual qubits, thus outperforming previous implementations based on incomplete graphs. Moreover, to accelerate the learning, we implement a semantic quantum search which, contrary to previous proposals, takes the input data as initial boundary conditions to start each learning step of the RBM, thanks to a reverse annealing schedule. Such an approach, unlike the more conventional forward annealing schedule, allows sampling configurations in a meaningful neighborhood of the training data, mimicking the behavior of the classical Gibbs sampling algorithm. We show that the learning based on reverse annealing quickly raises the sampling probability of a meaningful subset of the set of the configurations. Even without a proper optimization of the annealing schedule, the RBM semantically trained by reverse annealing achieves better scores on reconstruction tasks.
Classical and quantum annealing are two heuristic optimization methods that search for an optimal solution by slowly decreasing thermal or quantum fluctuations. Optimizing annealing schedules is important both for performance and fair comparisons bet
ween classical annealing, quantum annealing, and other algorithms. Here we present a heuristic approach for the optimization of annealing schedules for quantum annealing and apply it to 3D Ising spin glass problems. We find that if both classical and quantum annealing schedules are similarly optimized, classical annealing outperforms quantum annealing for these problems when considering the residual energy obtained in slow annealing. However, when performing many repetitions of fast annealing, simulated quantum annealing is seen to outperform classical annealing for our benchmark problems.
