Background of the Study
Artificial intelligence (AI) has seen remarkable progress in recent years, particularly in the field of machine learning and image recognition. Neural networks, which are at the core of AI, have been successfully applied to a range of image processing tasks, from facial recognition to medical imaging analysis (LeCun et al., 2023). However, traditional neural networks, while effective, can be computationally expensive and limited in their processing capabilities. Quantum computing, with its ability to handle large datasets and complex calculations more efficiently than classical computers, offers the potential to enhance neural networks, particularly for tasks like image recognition. Quantum-inspired neural networks, which integrate quantum computing principles into classical machine learning models, can help overcome these limitations and improve the accuracy and efficiency of image recognition systems.
At Federal University, Lokoja, Kogi State, image recognition plays a crucial role in various academic and administrative applications, including campus security and document management. This study aims to develop a quantum-inspired neural network for image recognition, leveraging quantum algorithms to enhance the university's image processing capabilities. The research will evaluate the effectiveness of quantum-inspired neural networks in comparison to traditional models, specifically focusing on their application in the university's administrative and security systems.
