Abstract
Bayesian networks are powerful tools for probabilistic analysis and have been widely used in machine learning and data science. Unlike the time-consuming parameter training process of neural networks, Bayes classifiers constructed on Bayesian networks can make decisions based solely on statistical data from samples. In this paper, we focus on constructing quantum Bayes classifiers (QBCs). We design both a naive QBC and three semi-naive QBCs (SN-QBCs). These QBCs are then applied to image classification tasks. To reduce computational complexity, we employ a local feature sampling method to extract a limited number of feature attributes from an image. These attributes serve as nodes of the Bayesian networks to generate the QBCs. We simulate these QBCs on the MindQuantum platform and evaluate their performance on the MNIST and Fashion-MNIST datasets. Our results demonstrate that these QBCs…
