Description
Summary:Contemporary machine learning (ML) systems excel in recognising and classifying images with remarkable accuracy. However, like many computer software systems, they can fail by generating confusing or erroneous outputs or by deferring to human operators to interpret the results and make final decisions. In this paper, we employ the recently proposed quantum tunnelling neural networks (QT-NNs) inspired by human brain processes alongside quantum cognition theory to classify image datasets while emulating human perception and judgment. Our findings suggest that the QT-NN model provides compelling evidence of its potential to replicate human-like decision-making. We also reveal that the QT-NN model can be trained up to 50 times faster than its classical counterpart.
