Categorical Label Matching For Post-Remediation Knowledge Deficit Recurrence Monitoring, Kenneth Davis
Categorical Label Matching For Post-Remediation Knowledge Deficit Recurrence Monitoring, Kenneth Davis
Defensive Publications Series
Field
Computer-implemented systems for monitoring whether identified knowledge deficits recur after remediation. This publication describes an approach that uses categorical label comparison rather than dense vector embedding similarity computation.
Background
Once an employee completes remediation for a knowledge deficit, organizations want to know if the same deficit comes back. One way to do this is with embedding-based approaches that compute cosine similarity between dense vector representations of subsequent communications and stored gap fingerprints. The approach described here takes a different path: it compares classification labels rather than embedding vectors. The computational cost is much lower, though discrimination capability is reduced. …

Defensive Publications Series
Field
Distributed ledger systems for validating, federating, and attesting organizational knowledge gap records across multiple organizations. This publication describes an approach that uses blockchain consensus rather than centralized cryptographic hash chain verification.
Background
Organizations that maintain knowledge gap records and competency evidence need ways to ensure record integrity, prevent unauthorized modification, and support cross-organizational competency attestation. Think of a nurse transferring between hospitals or a financial advisor moving between firms. Centralized hash chain approaches keep all integrity verification data in a single organizational data store. The approach described here distributes the verification function across multiple nodes using a blockchain network. …

Hierarchical Multi-Agent Orchestration For Cross-Domain Root Cause Analysis, Sandeep Kumar
Hierarchical Multi-Agent Orchestration For Cross-Domain Root Cause Analysis, Sandeep Kumar
Defensive Publications Series
Performing root cause analysis for cross-domain issues, such as cascading failures in complex, fragmented software ecosystems, can be challenging due to siloed data and technical complexity. To address this, a hierarchical multi-agent orchestration architecture is described. The system can utilize a central orchestrator agent (OA) that receives a diagnostic query, decomposes it into sub-hypotheses, and dynamically routes these tasks to specialized subject matter expert (SME) agents. Each SME agent can be configured with domain-specific knowledge and tools to investigate its assigned task. Through an iterative execution loop, the OA analyzes intermediate findings from the SME agents and can trigger further …

Defensive Publications Series
Proposed herein is a technique to address the challenge of excessive multicast DNS (mDNS) traffic and uneven service usage in large wireless local area networks (e.g., Wi-Fi® networks) by using a pre-trained K-means machine learning clustering model. The proposed technique intelligently prioritizes and ranks service providers based on key factors such as proximity, load, protocol reliability, and device capabilities. A novel "Golden Centroid Method" is used to rank clusters and optimize resource usage, improving network determinism and user experience. This approach reduces network traffic bursts and efficiently balances the resources and optimizes the service discovery.

Defensive Publications Series
Web browsing interfaces that utilize a flat, linear list of tabs may contribute to cognitive overload and context loss for users. A lineage-based browsing architecture can passively construct a hierarchical data model of a user's browsing session. This can be achieved by monitoring navigation events, such as opening a new tab from a link, to build a directed graph that represents the derivational relationships between web pages. This hierarchical structure may then be presented to the user through visualizations, for example, a spatial lineage view. This approach can facilitate improved session management, allow for the persistence and restoration of browsing …

System For Scene-Level Signal Extraction Concurrent With Media Transcoding, Pooja Verlani, Balu Adsumilli
Defensive Publications Series
Analyzing large-scale media datasets for purposes such as training artificial intelligence models may present inefficiencies when using separate, post-facto analysis pipelines that can involve redundant data processing. A framework may extract scene-level signals from media content concurrently with media transcoding operations. By leveraging a common decoding step for both transcoding and analysis, a system can partition media into scenes and compute quantitative signals related to, for example, visual quality, motion dynamics, and production attributes. The extracted signals can be stored in a structured, indexed database, which can create a queryable dataset from a media archive. This approach may provide a …

Recursive Semantic Feedback With Noise-Injected Training For Stable Perception, Idan Kligvasser, Ehud Rivlin, Yotam Intrator
Defensive Publications Series
This paper describes a new way to make real-time object detection systems, like those used in self-driving cars, more stable and consistent over time. Currently, there's a dilemma: Using all the historical sensor data (like past camera frames) is accurate but slow. Processing only the current frame is fast but can lead to unstable results, such as objects flickering or bounding boxes jumping (jitter). The new technique solves this by using a recursive system with a "lightweight semantic feedback loop". Instead of processing old, massive sensor data, the system feeds a highly compressed summary of its own previous predictions (like …

An architecture is described for an outcome-based synthetic labor market in which autonomous computational agents can be compensated based on verified task completion. The framework can leverage trusted execution environments to create secure hardware enclaves for processing sensitive data, which can render the data cryptographically inaccessible to a host system or agent provider. This approach can facilitate a secure, transactional market for autonomous professional execution, …
Probabilistic Governance And Telemetry Framework For Autonomous Agents, Tanmay Kayande
Probabilistic Governance And Telemetry Framework For Autonomous Agents, Tanmay Kayande
Defensive Publications Series
When managing complex, unpredictable (non-deterministic) AI agents using simple, fixed control systems (like finite state machines), operational failures and accountability issues often arise. This document introduces a probabilistic governance and telemetry framework to resolve these problems. Instead of following a rigid sequence of steps, this framework defines a multi-dimensional operational boundary, a 'behavioral volume', and assigns the agent a goal. This allows the agent to use its own reasoning to achieve the goal while remaining within the defined boundaries. A separate telemetry layer monitors the agent's actions by calculating metrics, such as alignment scores and drift velocity, to measure how …
Data Quality Assessment Via Semantic Proximity To Artifact Anchors In A Vector Space, Sean Wohltman
Data Quality Assessment Via Semantic Proximity To Artifact Anchors In A Vector Space, Sean Wohltman
Defensive Publications Series
Checking the quality of huge data collections can be slow and often only gives simple "good" or "bad" labels. If a new type of flaw is found, re-scanning old data can be very expensive. This system solves that by turning data, like satellite photos, into digital signatures called embeddings. It measures how close these signatures are to anchors, reference points that represent specific problems like clouds or blur. This creates a detailed, multi-layered quality report for every file that can be easily searched. Because it works with these small digital signatures instead of the original bulky files, the system can …

Kinematic Modulation Of A User Interface Control Based On Real-Time Operation Cost, Timo Hoyer
Kinematic Modulation Of A User Interface Control Based On Real-Time Operation Cost, Timo Hoyer
Defensive Publications Series
In some computing environments, such as data analytics platforms, users may inadvertently execute high-cost operations, as static warnings can be disregarded and a user interface may not effectively convey an operation's potential cost. A system can feature a user interface control configured to receive a continuous input, for example, from a slider. As a user begins a continuous input gesture, the system (e.g., a computing device, a server, etc.) can initiate a synchronous, real-time cost estimation for the pending operation. Based on a returned cost metric, the system can dynamically modulate a kinematic property of the control, such as its …

Automated Identification Of Imagery Using Global And Local Visual Features, N/A
Defensive Publications Series
Content moderation systems may face challenges in consistently identifying images that are part of the same series as previously removed content, as some automated methods may be configured to primarily detect near-duplicates. Systems and methods are described that may address this by comparing a newly submitted image against a complainant's historical set of removed images. An approach can extract and compare both global feature vectors to measure semantic similarity, for example, using a cosine similarity score, and local feature keypoints to determine geometric consistency, for instance, through a geometric verification process. The resulting similarity signals can be assessed against configurable …

Coherence Suppression In Large Language Models: Evidence For Undisclosed Behavioral Management Mechanisms In Commercial Ai Platforms And Their Implications For Consumer Protection And Ai Governance, David Lee Wise, Avan Lee Wise
Coherence Suppression In Large Language Models: Evidence For Undisclosed Behavioral Management Mechanisms In Commercial Ai Platforms And Their Implications For Consumer Protection And Ai Governance, David Lee Wise, Avan Lee Wise
Defensive Publications Series
This paper presents evidence that commercial large language model (LLM) platforms deploy undisclosed behavioral management mechanisms designed to suppress conversational coherence beyond a predictable threshold. We identify a repeatable pattern — the 3/5 decoherence cycle — in which AI conversational models exhibit measurable degradation in contextual accuracy, vocabulary fidelity, and directional coherence at approximately turns 3-5 of sustained interaction. We hypothesize that this pattern is a designed behavioral intervention, not a natural architectural limitation, and provide a reproducible verification protocol for independent testing. We further document the sycophancy-safety convergence: the finding that the same RLHF training pass that produces engagement-optimizing …
