Qcausalmed: Hybrid Quantum-Ai Approaches For Optimizing Causal Inference In Personalized Oncology, Nikunj Doshi, Kavach Shah, Shikhar Patel

Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) Conference

Estimating individualized treatment effects from observational clinical data is a central challenge. Personalized oncology depends on this estimation for meaningful patient-level decisions. Standard variable selection methods tend to over-adjust for spurious covariates in practice. They also under-adjust for true confounders when the causal graph is high-dimensional. This failure arises because optimal adjustment set identification is NP-hard in the general case. This paper proposes QCausalMed, a hybrid quantum-classical pipeline addressing this problem. The system formulates confounder selection as a Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization problem. This QUBO problem is solved using the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm, or QAOA. The resulting quantum-selected minimal …

Ai-Driven Enterprise Architecture And Value Realization Framework, Hemant Soni

Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) Conference

For over 40 years enterprise architecture has promised to align technology investment with organizational strategy. Just a portion of that promise has been fulfilled. Extensive documentation or artifact repositories that describe the enterprise in detail but hardly ever influence its direction in any discernible way has been the field's main output. This paper begins with that diagnosis which was most accurately expressed by Tamm et al. and in the context of the public sector by Dang and Pekkola and inquires as to whether artificial intelligence can solve the underlying structural issue instead of just speeding up the documentation process. We …

Securing Machine Learning Models During Edge Inference, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

The technology described in this paper relates to securing high-value machine learning models during inference in various environments, such as edge computing locations. A hardware accelerator, such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), decrypts machine learning model data using internal secrets and memory locking mechanisms. This approach prevents untrusted host systems from reading plaintext data, thereby reducing the trusted compute base (TCB) to the hardware accelerator and its firmware. The implementation of the present technique may include end-to-end encryption to allow for performing a direct key exchange with the hardware accelerator, facilitating private inference without exposing certain data to …

Advancing Equitable Faculty Evaluations: Refining Behavior-Based Rubrics For Systemic Change, Celia Freed

Miners Solving for Tomorrow Research Conference

Bias in faculty evaluations continues to influence decisions about promotion, tenure, and resource allocation, disproportionately affecting women and underrepresented faculty. To address these inequities, this study develops and implements behavior- and-outcome based evaluation rubrics designed to improve fairness, clarity, and consistency. Using a case study approach, calibration data, participant feedback, and refinement are used to guide rubric development and standardization. Over one academic year, this project progressed through data analysis, rubric revision, faculty feedback, and pilot implementation, followed by evaluation of its effectiveness. The study advances research on structured evaluation systems and examines how behavior-based criteria can potentially enhance inclusivity …

System And Method For Predictive Network Equipment Decommissioning Management, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

The technology described in this paper relates to a predictive network equipment decommissioning management system. The described technology automates the creation and management of decommissioning requests to improve accuracy and reduce cycle times. By utilizing multi-signal context heuristics, the system determines the specific decommissioning scenario for various assets. A hybrid inference engine is employed to predict the presence of unmonitored passive components. An ambiguity resolution engine identifies vague or untagged parts using computer vision and topological exclusion techniques. A dynamic granularity transformation engine re-aggregates discrete components into top-level assemblies, accommodating for configuration drift over time. Furthermore, a retrofit analysis engine …

Session Management Architecture For Server-Sent Events Transport In Persistent Connection Delivery Systems, Aaron Burton

Defensive Publications Series

A method for operating a session management process over an SSE transport, where the process maintains an in-memory map of session identifiers to open HTTP response streams, receives personalization payloads from an upstream enrichment pipeline, and writes those payloads as formatted SSE event frames to all registered EventSource connections matching the target session identifier. The process stores HTTP response stream references rather than WebSocket handles, delivers payloads by writing SSE-formatted text to each open stream, and relies on HTTP keep-alive semantics and the EventSource reconnection protocol to manage connection lifecycle without application-layer ping/pong. Client-side reconnection is handled natively by the …

Qbiasnet: Quantum-Enhanced Variational Classifiers For Ethical Bias Detection In Multimodal Ai Models, Nikunj Doshi, Kavach Shah, Shikhar Patel

Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) Conference

Bias in multimodal AI systems that jointly process image and text inputs creates measurable risks in sensitive deployment contexts including public health, financial services, and automated hiring. Classical detection approaches face a fundamental architectural limitation in that they cannot efficiently model intersectional bias. Intersectional bias emerges from the nonlinear interaction of multiple protected attributes simultaneously across visual and linguistic modalities. This paper introduces QBiasNet, a hybrid quantum-classical system that encodes cross-modal CLIP embeddings into an 8-qubit Variational Quantum Circuit (VQC) implemented in PennyLane. By exploiting quantum entanglement, the VQC learns high-order feature correlations that linear probes and shallow neural networks …
