Hybrid Classical-Quantum Autoencoder for Anomaly Detection

Abstract

We propose a Hybrid classical-quantum Autoencoder (HAE) model, which is a synergy of a classical autoencoder (AE) and a parametrized quantum circuit (PQC) that is inserted into its bottleneck. The PQC augments the latent space, on which a standard outlier detection method is applied to search for anomalous data points within a classical dataset. Using this model and applying it to both standard benchmarking datasets, and a specific use-case dataset which relates to predictive maintenance of gas power plants, we show that the addition of the PQC leads to a performance enhancement in terms of precision, recall, and F1 score. Furthermore, we probe different PQC Ansätze and analyse which PQC features make them effective for this task.
