A Multiparty Homomorphic Encryption Approach to Confidential Federated Kaplan Meier Survival Analysis

This paper introduces a privacy-preserving federated framework using threshold CKKS homomorphic encryption to enable multi-institutional Kaplan-Meier survival analysis that achieves high-fidelity results comparable to centralized data while preventing the reconstruction of sensitive individual records through encrypted aggregation and threshold decryption.

Information-theoretic signatures of causality in Bayesian networks and hypergraphs

This paper establishes the first theoretical correspondence between Partial Information Decomposition components and causal structures in Bayesian networks and hypergraphs, demonstrating that unique information and synergy signatures enable a localist, model-agnostic approach to discovering both pairwise and higher-order causal relationships.
