A Quantum Kernel Learning Approach to Acoustic Modeling for Spoken Command Recognition

We propose a quantum kernel learning (QKL) framework to address the inherent data sparsity issues often encountered in training large-scare acoustic models in low-resource scenarios. We project acoustic features based on classical-to-quantum feature encoding. Different from existing quantum convolution techniques, we utilize QKL with features in the quantum space to design kernel-based classifiers. Experimental results on challenging spoken command recognition tasks for a few low-resource languages, such as Arabic, Georgian, Chuvash, and Lithuanian, show that the proposed QKL-based hybrid approach attains good improvements over existing classical and quantum solutions.
