Benchmarking code at the bottom…Recommendations:To create a dynamic choice structure that selects the most appropriate method for ensuring a kernel matrix remains positive semi-definite (PSD) based on benchmarks or specific criteria, you can follow the below approach. This strategy involves evaluating the performance, computational efficiency, and suitability of each method (Tikhonov Regularization, Thresholding Negative Eigenvalues, Semi-Definite Programming) for the given kernel matrix and then dynamically selecting the best method based on the evaluation.### Implementation in Pythonpythonimport numpy as npimport cvxpy as cpfrom scipy.linalg import eighfrom time import time# Define the methodsdef tikhonov_regularization(kernel_matrix, alpha=1e-5): n = kernel_matrix.shape[0] return kernel_matrix + alpha * np.eye(n)def threshold_negative_eigenvalues(kernel_matrix): w, v = np.linalg.eigh(kernel_matrix) w = np.maximum(w, 0) return v @ np.diag(w) @ v.Tdef semi_definite_programming(kernel_matrix): n = kernel_matrix.shape[0] X = cp.Variable((n, n), PSD=True) objective = cp.Minimize(cp.norm(X - kernel_matrix, 'fro')) prob = cp.Problem(objective, []) prob.solve() return X.value# Benchmarking and dynamic choice functiondef select_best_psd_method(kernel_matrix): methods = { 'Tikhonov Regularization': tikhonov_regularization, 'Thresholding Negative Eigenvalues': threshold_negative_eigenvalues, 'Semi-Definite Programming': semi_definite_programming, } benchmark_results = {} for method_name, method_func in methods.items(): start_time = time() # Adjust this line if you need to pass specific parameters to the method _ = method_func(kernel_matrix) end_time = time() benchmark_results[method_name] = end_time - start_time # Select the method with the lowest runtime (or replace this criterion with another) best_method_name = min(benchmark_results, key=benchmark_results.get) print(f"Selected method based on runtime: {best_method_name} with time {benchmark_results[best_method_name]:.4f} seconds.") # Return the best method function return methods[best_method_name]# Example usagekernel_matrix = np.random.rand(10, 10)kernel_matrix = kernel_matrix @ kernel_matrix.T # Ensure the matrix is symmetricbest_method = select_best_psd_method(kernel_matrix)psd_matrix = best_method(kernel_matrix)print("Processed PSD Matrix:", psd_matrix)
### Explanation:- The select_best_psd_method
function benchmarks each PSD projection method by measuring the time taken to process the given kernel matrix.- It then selects the best method based on the lowest runtime. This criterion can be replaced or extended with other factors such as accuracy, proximity to the original matrix, etc., depending on the requirements.- Finally, it returns the function of the best method, which is then used to process the kernel matrix and ensure it is PSD.This approach offers flexibility in adapting to different kernel matrices and computational environments, ensuring optimal performance based on the selected benchmarking criteria.To facilitate the dynamic selection of the method for ensuring a kernel matrix remains positive semi-definite (PSD) based on benchmarks, I'll provide the Python code structure that integrates with the FidelityQuantumKernel
class. This structure will allow for evaluating the effectiveness and computational efficiency of different PSD projection methods, such as Tikhonov Regularization, Thresholding Negative Eigenvalues, and Semi-Definite Programming, and then selecting the most appropriate method dynamically.First, let's define a utility file that includes the implementation of these methods and a function to dynamically select the best method based on a criterion, such as computational efficiency or accuracy.### Utility File: psd_projection_methods.py````pythonimport numpy as npfrom scipy.linalg import eighimport cvxpy as cpdef tikhonov_regularization(kernel_matrix, alpha=1e-5): """Tikhonov Regularization to ensure PSD.""" n = kernel_matrix.shape[0] return kernel_matrix + alpha * np.eye(n)def threshold_negative_eigenvalues(kernel_matrix): """Threshold Negative Eigenvalues to ensure PSD.""" eigenvalues, eigenvectors = np.linalg.eigh(kernel_matrix) eigenvalues[eigenvalues < 0] = 0 return eigenvectors @ np.diag(eigenvalues) @ eigenvectors.Tdef semi_definite_programming(kernel_matrix): """Semi-Definite Programming to ensure PSD.""" n = kernel_matrix.shape[0] X = cp.Variable((n, n), symmetric=True) constraints = [X >> 0] prob = cp.Problem(cp.Minimize(cp.norm(X - kernel_matrix, 'fro')), constraints) prob.solve() return X.valuedef select_best_psd_method(kernel_matrix, methods): """Dynamically select the best method based on a given criterion.""" # Criterion for selection can be implemented here. Placeholder for simplicity. # This function returns the function reference of the selected method. return methods['threshold_negative_eigenvalues']```### Main File:
FidelityQuantumKernel.pyNow, integrate the dynamic selection within the
FidelityQuantumKernelclass by importing the utility methods and using them to ensure the kernel matrix is PSD.```pythonfrom qiskit import QuantumCircuitfrom qiskit.circuit.library import ZZFeatureMapfrom qiskit_machine_learning.kernels import QuantumKernelfrom psd_projection_methods import ( tikhonov_regularization, threshold_negative_eigenvalues, semi_definite_programming, select_best_psd_method)class FidelityQuantumKernel(QuantumKernel): # Existing implementation def _optimize_psd(self, kernel_matrix: np.ndarray) -> np.ndarray: """Projects the kernel matrix to the closest positive semidefinite matrix.""" methods = { 'tikhonov_regularization': tikhonov_regularization, 'threshold_negative_eigenvalues': threshold_negative_eigenvalues, 'semi_definite_programming': semi_definite_programming } best_method = select_best_psd_method(kernel_matrix, methods) return best_method(kernel_matrix)# Rest of the class implementation remains unchanged```### Example UsageThis integration allows the

The `train_and_predict` function computes the quantum kernel matrices for both training and test datasets, trains the SVC model with the training kernel matrix, and then uses the trained model to predict the labels of the test dataset.By following this approach, you can leverage the power of quantum-enhanced feature spaces in traditional machine learning tasks, while ensuring that the kernel matrices remain positive semi-definite through the dynamic selection of PSD projection methods implemented in the `FidelityQuantumKernel`.Please adjust the placeholder data generation with actual quantum data or features suitable for your specific use case.For the next step, considering the dynamic choice structure for PSD projection based on benchmarks, let's integrate the selection mechanism directly into a machine learning workflow that utilizes the `FidelityQuantumKernel`. This will involve setting up benchmarking for the PSD projection methods and then using the selected method for kernel matrix projection in a machine learning model, such as SVM.### Benchmarking and Integration Workflow: `benchmark_and_ml_workflow.py

This function should be expanded to include actual benchmarking logic based on the specific needs and constraints of your application. - **Integration with ML Workflow**: The
mainfunction showcases a complete workflow where a quantum kernel matrix is computed using
FidelityQuantumKernel`, dynamically selects the best PSD projection method based on benchmarking, projects the kernel matrix to PSD, and finally uses the projected kernel matrix in an SVM model for classification.This workflow demonstrates how to integrate dynamic selection of PSD projection methods into quantum machine learning applications, ensuring that you always use the best available method based on your specific benchmarks and criteria.Sent from my iPhoneOn 15. 2. 2024., at 10:44, Abdallah @.***> wrote:
Hi Qiskit ML Team,
I'm researching quantum kernels and their applications in machine learning, focusing on the PSD projection feature of the FidelityQuantumKernel class. This feature is vital for ensuring kernel matrices remain positive semi-definite, enhancing algorithm stability.
The documentation specifies that setting enforce_psd=True projects the kernel matrix to the closest PSD matrix but doesn't detail the projection method used. For my research, understanding whether this involves techniques like Tikhonov regularization, thresholding negative eigenvalues, or semi-definite programming, as discribed in this paper., is crucial.
Could you clarify the specific method implemented for PSD projection in FidelityQuantumKernel? This insight will significantly contribute to my research's depth and accuracy.
Thanks for your contributions to quantum computing and machine learning.
Best,

with a machine learning pipeline to utilize the dynamically selected PSD projection method effectively.

FidelityQuantumKernelwith a classical machine learning pipeline, specifically using
scikit-learn's SVC. The
train_and_predictfunction computes the quantum kernel matrices for both training and test datasets, trains the SVC model with the training kernel matrix, and then uses the trained model to predict the labels of the test dataset.By following this approach, you can leverage the power of quantum-enhanced feature spaces in traditional machine learning tasks, while ensuring that the kernel matrices remain positive semi-definite through the dynamic selection of PSD projection methods implemented in the
FidelityQuantumKernel.Please adjust the placeholder data generation with actual quantum data or features suitable for your specific use case.For the next step, considering the dynamic choice structure for PSD projection based on benchmarks, let's integrate the selection mechanism directly into a machine learning workflow that utilizes the
FidelityQuantumKernel. This will involve setting up benchmarking for the PSD projection methods and then using the selected method for kernel matrix projection in a machine learning model, such as SVM.### Benchmarking and Integration Workflow:

### Explanation:- Benchmarking: The benchmark_psd_methods
function is designed to evaluate the performance of different PSD projection methods based on a benchmark criterion, such as computational efficiency or projection accuracy. This function should be expanded to include actual benchmarking logic based on the specific needs and constraints of your application. - Integration with ML Workflow: The main
function showcases a complete workflow where a quantum kernel matrix is computed using FidelityQuantumKernel
, dynamically selects the best PSD projection method based on benchmarking, projects the kernel matrix to PSD, and finally uses the projected kernel matrix in an SVM model for classification.This workflow demonstrates how to integrate dynamic selection of PSD projection methods into quantum machine learning applications, ensuring that you always use the best available method based on your specific benchmarks and criteria.Sent from my iPhoneOn 15. 2. 2024., at 10:44, Abdallah *@.> wrote:Hi Qiskit ML Team, I'm researching quantum kernels and their applications in machine learning, focusing on the PSD projection feature of the FidelityQuantumKernel class.
