New algorithm enables quantum models to outperform classical HMMs

Researchers have developed a new algorithm called NS-RIS (Newton-Schulz Retraction-based Inference on the Stiefel manifold) for learning Hidden Quantum Markov Models (HQMMs). This method aims to overcome the limitations of traditional Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) by enabling richer latent representations through quantum operations. NS-RIS has demonstrated superior performance compared to existing HQMM methods and classical HMMs trained with Expectation-Maximization, showing significant improvements on both synthetic and real-world datasets.
