Abstract

En 中文
We introduce a machine learning model, the q-CNN model, sharing key features with convolutional neural networks and admitting a tensor network description. As examples, we apply q-CNN to the MNIST and Fashion MNIST classification tasks. We explain how the network associates a quantum state to each classification label, and study the entanglement structure of these network states. In both our experiments on the MNIST and Fashion-MNIST datasets, we observe a distinct increase in both the left/right as well as the up/down bipartition entanglement entropy (EE) during training as the network learns the fine features of the data. More generally, we observe a universal negative correlation between the value of the EE and the value of the cost function, suggesting that the network needs to learn the entanglement structure in order the perform the task accurately. This supports the possibility of exploiting the entanglement structure as a guide to design the machine learning algorithm suitable for given tasks.
