Quantum Data Reduction with Application to Video Classification

Quantum Physics 2022-07-15 v1

Abstract

We investigate a quantum video classification method using a hybrid algorithm. A quantum-classical step performs a data reduction on the video dataset and a quantum step -- which only has access to the reduced dataset -- classifies the video to one of k classes. We verify the method using sign videos and demonstrate that the reduced dataset contains enough information to successfully classify the data, using a quantum classification process. The proposed data reduction method showcases a way to alleviate the "data loading" problem of quantum computers for the problem of video classification. Data loading is a huge bottleneck, as there are no known efficient techniques to perform that task without sacrificing many of the benefits of quantum computing.
