Quantum vs. Classical ML for Neuropsychiatric Disorders: A Comparative Study

A new study published on arXiv evaluates the performance of quantum machine learning models against classical models for diagnosing neuropsychiatric disorders. The research, which used feature-matched comparisons across four public cohorts totaling 4,308 subjects, found that quantum kernel models performed similarly to their classical counterparts. While one hybrid quantum convolutional network showed a slight improvement in AUC and smaller train-test gaps, most quantum models did not consistently outperform classical approaches. AI

IMPACT This research provides a benchmark for quantum machine learning's potential in clinical diagnostics, suggesting current quantum models do not yet offer a significant advantage over classical methods for neuropsychiatric disorders.

    Quantum Versus Classical Machine Learning for Neuropsychiatric Disorders: A Feature-Matched Multi-Cohort Evaluation

    arXiv:2610.21344v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Resting-state functional connectivity is widely used in machine learning-based classification of neuropsychiatric disorders. Quantum machine learning models have been proposed for functional connectivity data, but few studies have e…
