Abstract Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus that causes lesions on the retina that affect vision. Late detection of DR can lead to irreversible blindness. The manual diagnosis process of DR retina fundus images by ophthalmologists is time consuming and costly. While, Classical Transfer learning models are extensively used for computer aided detection of DR; however, their maintenance costs limits detection performance rate. Therefore, Quantum Transfer learning is a better option to address this problem in an optimized manner. The significance of Hybrid quantum transfer learning approach includes that it performs heuristically.… More >

Abstract This article presents a multilayer hybrid classical-quantum classifier for predicting the lifetime of LiFePO4 batteries using early degradation data. The multilayer approach uses multiple variational quantum circuits in cascade, which allows more parameters to be used as weights in a single run hence increasing accuracy and provides faster cost function convergence for the optimizer. The proposed classifier predicts with an accuracy of 92.8% using data of the first four cycles. The effectiveness of the hybrid classifier is also presented by validating the performance using untrained data with an accuracy of 84%. We also demonstrate More >
