Factorial Benchmarking of Exact and Finite-Shot Gradient Resolvability in a Four-Qubit Hybrid Quantum Neural Network

This study employs a complete 2³ factorial design to benchmark a four-qubit hybrid quantum neural network, revealing that while specific structural and objective interactions significantly influence exact-gradient magnitude, their effects under finite-shot conditions remain statistically ambiguous and do not yet demonstrate optimization success or hardware advantages.

The Intent Gap: A Taxonomy of Real-User Failure Modes in Frontier AI Agents

This paper identifies a critical "intent gap" where frontier AI models fail to satisfy real user needs despite literal prompt compliance, revealing that current researcher-designed benchmarks miss these deployment-relevant failures because real users rarely verbalize their dissatisfaction, a phenomenon the author quantifies through a new taxonomy derived from mining large-scale conversation corpora.

Feature-Reduced IoT Intrusion Detection Using Clustering-Based Mutual Information and Meta-Heuristic CNN Optimization

This paper proposes a computationally efficient IoT intrusion detection pipeline that integrates a hybrid SMOTE-ENN-LOF balancing strategy, a clustering-based mutual information feature selection algorithm (BBFS), and Hunger Games Search-optimized 1D CNNs to achieve reliable attack detection with reduced feature sets and compact model architectures across diverse IoT datasets.

Parkinson's Disease Drug Dose Optimization Using Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning

This paper proposes a multi-objective reinforcement learning framework for optimizing Parkinson's disease medication dosing that generates a Pareto set of policies to explicitly model and navigate the trade-offs between motor symptom control and dyskinesia risks, outperforming clinician and random baselines while supporting transparent, patient-centered decision-making.
