Abstract: Relief algorithm is a feature selection algorithm used in binary classification proposed by Kira and Rendell, and its computational complexity remarkable increases with both the scale of samples and the number of features. In order to reduce the complexity, a quantum feature selection algorithm based on Relief algorithm, also called quantum Relief algorithm, is proposed. In the algorithm, all features of each sample are superposed by a certain quantum state through the emph{CMP} and emph{rotation} operations, then the emph{swap test} and measurement are applied on this state to get the similarity between two samples. After that, emph{Near-hit} and emph{Near-miss} are obtained by calculating the maximal similarity, and further applied to update the feature weight vector WT to get WT that determine the relevant features with the threshold au. In order to verify our algorithm, a simulation experiment based on IBM Q with a simple example is performed. Efficiency analysis shows the computational complexity of our proposed algorithm is emph{O(M)}, while the complexity of the original Relief algorithm is emph{O(NM)}, where N is the number of features for each sample, and M is the size of the sample set. Obviously, our quantum Relief algorithm has superior acceleration than the classical one.
