I try to use Quantum SVM kernel algorithm: multiclass classifier extension. This is my code section with imports

import numpy as np
import scipy
from scipy.linalg import expm
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
from sklearn import datasets
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler, MinMaxScaler
from sklearn.decomposition import PCA


from qiskit import BasicAer
from qiskit_aqua import run_algorithm
from qiskit_aqua.input import SVMInput
import qsvm_datasets

I have an error at import any library. I received the ImportError: DLL load failed: message. All libs are installed correctly. I found in my folders needed file at \Python\Libs\site-packages\qiskit_aqua\input\svminput.py.

That's my debug log:

    $\begingroup$ I feel like you would probably get more useful answers posting these as issues on the project's GitHub. This sounds like some bug in the code that only they can solve (or at least, a lack of clarity in the documentation) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ anyway, here is the current version of the library you are trying to use. When you issue the from qiskit_aqua.input ... command the __init__.py file is automatically executed, so the problem might be in some other module in the subpackage, not necessarily in the SVMInput class. It's hard to tell what exactly is going on without you posting the full error message (which includes the line at which the error occurred) $\endgroup$

You are probably running Python 3.7 on Windows. There is a known issue for the bug you are seeing: https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-aer/issues/80

    $\begingroup$ Your absolutely right. And the error is not the one I posted. Looking more carefully the error appears to be in the cvxopt package and not qiskit itself. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Problem was in cvxopt. For correct work the Numpy+MKL library must to be installed (from here, for example - lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy) $\endgroup$
