Hybrid Quantum Capsule Network: Quantum Transformation Circuit as Vote Transformation in Image Classification
Abstract: Capsule Network (CapsNet) provides a richer hierarchical representation than conventional neural networks through vector-shaped capsules and inter-capsule routing. However, most CapsNet designs still rely on classic matrix-multiplication-based vote transformations, which limit the formation of the prediction vector to linear mappings in Euclidean space. In this paper, we propose the Hybrid Quantum Capsule Network (HQCapsNet), […]
