Variational Quantum Algorithms for Dimensionality Reduction and Classification

In this work, we present a quantum neighborhood preserving embedding and a quantum local discriminant embedding for dimensionality reduction and classification. We demonstrate that these two algorithms have an exponential speedup over their respectively classical counterparts. Along the way, we propose a variational quantum generalized eigenvalue solver that finds the generalized eigenvalues and eigenstates of a matrix pencil $(\mathcal{G},\mathcal{S})$. As a proof-of-principle, we implement our algorithm to solve $2^5\times2^5$ generalized eigenvalue problems. Finally, our results offer two optional outputs with quantum or classical form, which can be directly applied in another quantum or classical machine learning process.
