Quantum NLP models struggle with SPSA hyperparameter tuning

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new arXiv paper explores hyperparameter tuning for Variational Quantum Natural Language Inference (VQ-NLI) models. The research investigates the effectiveness of Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation (SPSA) compared to parameter-shift gradients. While AdamW-style SPSA showed some improvement, it still lagged behind parameter-shift baselines due to high variance in its gradient estimates, particularly for models with a larger number of parameters.

    SPSA Hyperparameter Tuning for Variational Quantum Natural Language Inference

    arXiv:2608.16939v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training variational quantum models requires choosing between parameter-shift gradients, which are exact but cost $O(P)$ forward evaluations, and simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA), which uses only two sampl…
