Quantum annealers, such as the device built by D-Wave Systems, Inc., offer a way to compute solutions of NP-hard problems that can be expressed in Ising or quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) form. Although such solutions are typically of very high quality, problem instances are usually not solved to optimality due to imperfections of the current generations quantum annealers. In this contribution, we aim to understand some of the factors contributing to the hardness of a problem instance, and to use machine learning models to predict the accuracy of the D-Wave 2000Q annealer for solving specific problems. We focus on the maximum clique problem, a classic NP-hard problem with important applications in network analysis, bioinformatics, and computational chemistry. By training a machine learning classification model on basic problem characteristics such as the number of edges in the graph, or annealing parameters, such as the D-Wave’s chain strength, we are able to rank certain features in the order of their contribution to the solution hardness, and present a simple decision tree which allows to predict whether a problem will be solvable to optimality with the D-Wave 2000Q. We extend these results by training a machine learning regression model that predicts the clique size found by D-Wave.

Stochastic Graph

Because of unpredictable, uncertain and time-varying nature of real networks it seems that stochastic graphs, in which weights associated to the edges are random variables, may be a better candidate as a graph model for real world networks. Once the graph model is chosen to be a stochastic graph, every feature of the graph such as path, clique, spanning tree and dominating set, to mention a few, should be treated as a stochastic feature. For example, choosing stochastic graph as the graph model of an online social network and defining community structure in terms of clique, and the associations among the individuals within the community as random variables, the concept of stochastic clique may be used to study community structure properties. In this paper maximum clique in stochastic graph is first defined and then several learning automata-based algorithms are proposed for solving maximum clique problem in stochastic graph where the probability distribution functions of the weights associated with the edges of the graph are unknown. It is shown that by a proper choice of the parameters of the proposed algorithms, one can make the probability of finding maximum clique in stochastic graph as close to unity as possible. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithms significantly reduce the number of samples needed to be taken from the edges of the stochastic graph as compared to the number of samples needed by standard sampling method at a given confidence level.
