Abstract

Discriminative Canonical Correlation Analysis (DCCA) is a powerful supervised feature extraction technique for two sets of multivariate data, which has wide applications in pattern recognition. DCCA consists of two parts: (i) mean-centering that subtracts the sample mean from the sample; (ii) solving the generalized eigenvalue problem. The cost of DCCA is expensive when dealing with a large number of high-dimensional samples. To solve this problem, here we propose a quantum DCCA algorithm. Specifically, we devise an efficient method to compute the mean of all samples, then use block-Hamiltonian simulation and quantum phase estimation to solve the generalized eigenvalue problem. Our algorithm achieves a polynomial speedup in the dimension of samples under certain conditions over its classical counterpart.
