Abstract:Ridge functions are used to describe and study the lower bound of the approximation done by the neural networks which can be written as a linear combination of activation functions. If the activation functions are also ridge functions, these networks are called explainable neural networks.In this paper, we first show that quantum neural networks which are based on variational quantum circuits can be written as a linear combination of ridge functions. Consequently, we show that the interpretability and explaina… Show more
