Tensor-based algorithms for image classification
The interest in machine learning with tensor networks has been growing rapidly in recent years. The goal is to exploit tensor-structured basis functions in order to generate exponentially large feature spaces which are then used for supervised learning. We will propose two different tensor approaches for quantum-inspired machine learning. One is a kernel-based reformulation of the previously introduced MANDy, the other an alternating ridge regression in the tensor-train format. We will apply both methods to the MNIST and fashion MNIST data set and compare the results with state-of-the-art neural network-based classifiers.
