We propose a novel scheme for discretely-modulated continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) using machine learning technologies, which called multi-label learning-based CVQKD (ML-CVQKD). In particular, the proposed scheme divides the whole quantum system into state learning process and state prediction process. The former is used for training and estimating classifier, and the latter is used for generating final secret key. Meanwhile, a multi-label classification algorithm (MLCA) is also designed as an embedded classifier for distinguishing coherent state. Feature extraction for coherent state and related machine learning-based metrics for the quantum classifier are successively suggested. Security analysis based on the linear bosonic channel assumption shows that MLCA-embedded ML-CVQKD outperforms other existing discretely-modulated CVQKD protocols, such as four-state protocol and eight-state protocol, as well as the original Gaussian-modulated CVQKD protocol, and it will be further enhanced with the increase of modulation variance.
