Image Classification Using CNN-QNN Hybrid Model with Optimized Correlated Features

We propose a method to optimize the correlation among convolutional neural network (CNN) features that are used as inputs to quantum neural network (QNN) to enhance image classification accuracy. Unlike prior approaches that employ orthogonal decomposition as preprocessing, we intentionally introduce correlated features that are more physically compatible with QNN.

Exploring the Effects of Entanglement on Quantum Machine Learning of Pathogen Epitope-Receptor Binding

arXiv:2606. 28655v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) provide a flexible substrate for hybrid quantum machine learning (QML), but their practical value on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices remains an empirical question, especially because training depth and scale can introduce optimization challenges such as barren plateaus.

Private and interpretable clinical prediction with quantum-inspired tensor train models

The paper demonstrates that publicly available clinical machine learning models, such as logistic regression (LR), pose significant privacy risks because attackers can recover model parameters and identify training cohorts through various membership inference attacks. The authors show that even small cohorts can be reliably identified and that common practices like cross-validation can worsen the risk. To mitigate this, they propose a quantum-inspired defense that tensorizes discretized models into tensor trains (TTs), which obfuscates parameters, preserves accuracy, and maintains interpretability while providing black‑box protection comparable to Differential Privacy.
