A Deep learning framework for early detection of Ransomware communication patterns in encrypted network using transfer learning Case study: Financial Enterprise Networking

This paper presents an LSTM-based deep learning framework that utilizes transfer learning on encrypted network flow features to detect ransomware without payload decryption, demonstrating the critical necessity of 12–18 month retraining cycles to counteract temporal model drift while achieving high detection accuracy through a confidence-based ensemble system integrated with Wazuh SIEM.

Twos All the Way Down: A Hidden Condition Every Deployed RoPE Schedule Satisfies

This paper identifies and validates a previously unarticulated "max_cluster = 1" condition, requiring pairwise distinctness of all RoPE frequencies, demonstrating that violating this implicit constraint at inference time causes catastrophic performance degradation in large language models while proving that standard geometric schedules inherently satisfy it due to the transcendental nature of their logarithmic bases.
