Evaluating Marketing Decision Systems Under Experimental Constraints, Vatsal Modi

AMTP Proceedings 2026

Marketing organizations increasingly rely on algorithmic decision systems to guide targeting, budget allocation, and personalization. While these systems are widely deployed, evaluating their incremental impact remains challenging when traditional experimentation approaches, such as geo-based or large-scale randomized tests, are infeasible due to operational, regulatory, or interference constraints. This study examines how marketing decision systems can be rigorously evaluated under such conditions. Drawing on recent advances in causal inference and marketing analytics, we develop a decision-centric evaluation framework that integrates synthetic control methods, quasi-experimental designs, and incrementality diagnostics to approximate counterfactual performance. The framework emphasizes methodological transparency, robustness checks, and practical …

Orthogonal Memory Projection For Alignment In Stateful Generative Models, Neel Mohbe

Defensive Publications Series

A system and method is needed to mitigate potential alignment erosion in stateful generative models where continuous learning could alter pre-trained safety priors. The technology can introduce a parallel control architecture that may operate alongside a host model to help decouple learning capabilities from alignment constraints. The system can, for example, employ a dual intervention using a runtime residual correction interface to steer immediate output away from undesirable content, and an orthogonal memory projection interface to sanitize signals before they can be written to the model's persistent memory. By mathematically projecting undesirable components out of the memory-write signals, the system …

Automated Multi-Stage Build Error Remediation By Propagating Dormant Suppression Tags, Rishipal Singh Bhatia

Defensive Publications Series

In some multi-stage software build pipelines, downstream compiler errors may be reported against ephemeral, machine-generated intermediate artifacts rather than original, human-written source code, which can make remediation challenging. A system and method may address this by intercepting a downstream error, mapping its location back to the original source file, and programmatically injecting a dormant suppression tag into the original source code. During a subsequent build, an intermediate transpiler can propagate this tag into a newly generated intermediate artifact. In the intermediate file, the tag may become active and be recognized by the downstream compiler as a directive to suppress the …

Cerenkov-Based Borehole Fluid Characterization Tool

Defensive Publications Series

When a pulsed neutron tool (PNT) is fired, on the order of 1e8 neutrons per second are produced. Each of these neutrons carries 14.1MeV of kinetic energy. This energy is largely deposited in neighboring materials through inelastic scattering. This results in a large amount of ionization in the surrounding materials. A large number of the electrons liberated in this process have kinetic energies that are large when compared to the electron’s rest mass making them fairly relativistic. If these relativistic electrons propagate inside a transparent material, such as oil or water, they will radiate photons through a process called Cerenkov …

Research On Inter-Satellite Topology Design And Simulation Of Giant Leo Constellation Network With Consistent Pattern, Zhicheng Li, Shuaijun Liu, Lixiang Liu

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The giant low earth orbit (LEO) constellation network uses inter-satellite links to form an intersatellite topology, realizing the transmission of data between satellites. In order to adapt to the nature of uniform and symmetrical distribution of satellites in the constellation, this paper used a consistent connection pattern between satellites to construct an inter-satellite topology, and by analyzing the arrangement of non-mirror links in the constellation, it was found that the connection method of each link of the satellite itself could be independent of each other, which reduced the simulation complexity and the solution space of the inter-satellite topology. …
