Quantum Enhanced Anomaly Detection for ADS-B Data using Hybrid Deep Learning
This addresses anomaly detection in aviation surveillance data, but is incremental as it shows quantum methods can match classical performance rather than surpass it.
The paper tackles anomaly detection in ADS-B data by combining quantum and classical machine learning techniques, achieving competitive accuracies of 90.17% to 94.05% with a hybrid quantum neural network, comparable to traditional neural networks at 91.50% to 93.37%.
The emerging field of Quantum Machine Learning (QML) has shown promising advantages in accelerating processing speed and effectively handling the high dimensionality associated with complex datasets. Quantum Computing (QC) enables more efficient data manipulation through the quantum properties of superposition and entanglement. In this paper, we present a novel approach combining quantum and classical machine learning techniques to explore the impact of quantum properties for anomaly detection in Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) data. We compare the performance of a Hybrid-Fully Connected Quantum Neural Network (H-FQNN) with different loss functions and use a publicly available ADS-B dataset to evaluate the performance. The results demonstrate competitive performance in detecting anomalies, with accuracies ranging from 90.17% to 94.05%, comparable to the performance of a traditional Fully Connected Neural Network (FNN) model, which achieved accuracies between 91.50% and 93.37%.
