A Topology-Driven Quantum Suitability Estimator for Hybrid QAOA–Classical Pipelines

This paper introduces QSE, a topology-driven estimator that uses polynomial-time graph features to predict the expected performance gap of classical heuristics versus exact Max-Cut solutions, enabling a hybrid pipeline to dynamically route subgraphs to quantum algorithms, classical heuristics, or human review while documenting critical engineering corrections that ensured the physical validity of the underlying QAOA simulations.

Evaluating Hyperparameter Sensitivity in Temporal Convolutional Networks for Short-Term Electric Load Forecasting Using Grid Search

This study utilizes a systematic grid search on Queensland's half-hourly load data to demonstrate that optimizing five key hyperparameters in Temporal Convolutional Networks—specifically identifying a configuration with a 336-step input size and 0.0005 learning rate—can reduce forecasting error by over 55% compared to a reference model, highlighting that coordinated parameter tuning is more critical than simply increasing model capacity for short-term electric load prediction.

FeatExtractNet: Point Cloud-Enhanced Architecture for Thermal and Acoustic FieldPrediction

This paper proposes FeatExtractNet, a point cloud-enhanced neural architecture that employs domain-specific designs—combining multi-level feature extraction with cross-layer gated fusion for irregular thermal fields and Fourier feature residual MLPs for regular acoustic grids—to significantly improve solution accuracy and reduce relative L2 errors in predicting complex thermal and acoustic fields governed by nonlinear partial differential equations.

Graph and Low-Rank Based Cluster-Prototype Matching for Transductive Zero-Shot Learning

This paper proposes the Graph and Low-Rank based Cluster-Prototype Matching (GLCPM) model, a transductive zero-shot learning approach that utilizes a teacher-student framework to learn a low-rank mapping preserving both the local intrinsic structure and sub-manifolds of embedded samples, thereby improving unseen class recognition through an ensemble classifier that combines cluster-prototype and sample-prototype similarities.
