Q-SYNTH: Hybrid Quantum-Classical Adversarial Augmentation for Imbalanced Fraud Detection
Researchers have developed Q-SYNTH, a novel hybrid quantum-classical framework designed to address the challenge of imbalanced data in credit card fraud detection. This system uses a parameterized quantum circuit as the generator and a classical neural network as the discriminator to synthesize minority-class fraud samples. Evaluations show Q-SYNTH offers a promising balance between statistical fidelity to real fraud data and improved downstream fraud detection performance, outperforming some classical baselines in specific metrics.
