BinaryObjectiveFunction#

class BinaryObjectiveFunction(X, y, neural_network, loss)[source]#

Bases: ObjectiveFunction

An objective function for binary representation of the output. For instance, classes of -1 and +1.

Parameters:

  • X (ndarray) -- The input data.

  • y (ndarray) -- The target values.

  • neural_network (NeuralNetwork) -- An instance of an quantum neural network to be used by this objective function.

  • loss (Loss) -- A target loss function to be used in training.
