Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 19:
20. A hybrid quantum-classical computer system for generating a word embedding, comprising:
a classical computer and a quantum computer;
the classical computer including a processor, a non-transitory computer-readable medium, and computer instructions stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium;
the quantum computer including a quantum component, having a plurality of qubits, which accepts a sequence of instructions to evolve a quantum state based on a series of quantum gates;
wherein the computer instructions, when executed by the processor, perform a method for generating, on the hybrid quantum-classical computer, a word embedding for at least one pair of words;
wherein the classical computer includes a training set of training samples comprising: (1) a word pair set, the word pair set comprising N pairs of words, wherein N≥1, and (2) for each pair of words P in the word pair set, a numerical value BP indicating a classical correlation between the words in the pair of words P;, the method comprising:
generating, on the quantum computer, a plurality of quantum state representations including one quantum state representation for at least one word in the word pair set; and
training a quantum correlation between: (1) words in a word pair X in the pairs of words on the quantum computer using an error function, (2) the numerical value BX corresponding to the word pair X, and (3) the plurality of quantum state representations,
the word embedding including the quantum correlation.
