This paper presents, to the best of our knowledge, the first application of a quantum-kernel Support Vector Machine (QSVM) to detecting AI-generated Bangla text. On a class-balanced Bangla dataset spanning six genres (newspaper articles, scientific abstracts, emails, poems, short stories and office orders) that is strongly imbalanced across genres, we extract BanglaBERT contextual embeddings, reduce them to eight principal components and map each sample onto an 8-qubit Hilbert space with an angle-embedding feature map and a ring of entangling CZ gates. The fidelity between mapped states forms a quantum kernel that is passed to a classical SVM. On a held-out test split, the QSVM attains 95.0% accuracy, 95.0% F1-score and 0.989 ROC-AUC. Under the same 5-fold stratified cross-validation protocol applied to all models, it achieves 95.2% (±2.8%) mean accuracy, compared with 95.0% (±2.0%) for Logistic Regression and 93.8% (±2.4%) for an RBF-kernel SVM on identical features and 85.8% (±4.1%) for a Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC). Replacing BanglaBERT with TF-IDF features lowers the QSVM's cross-validated accuracy to 93.7% (±2.7%). Within the specific configurations evaluated, the QSVM was more accurate and less variable than the single VQC architecture tested; the experiments do not identify the cause of this gap. Per-genre results are reported alongside the aggregate metrics. These results provide a first quantitative benchmark for quantum-enhanced Bangla AI-text detection and indicate that the QSVM is competitive with, rather than superior to, strong classical baselines.</p>","PeriodicalId":72253,"journal":{"name":"Applied AI letters","volume":"7 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ail2.70051","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149205481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper introduces the Mesh Multi-Context Protocol (MMP), a novel framework synthesizing Agentic AI capabilities with mesh topology principles to address these limitations. MMP contributes five key innovations: dynamic node management, domain-specialized nodes, legacy system integration, lightweight operation and federated multi-node topology. By treating each domain as an autonomous node, MMP enables safe cross-organizational coordination while maintaining data sovereignty and preventing systemic failures. Unlike existing approaches requiring large foundation models and centralized orchestration, MMP supports lightweight domain-specific language models with incremental adoption pathways suitable for air-gapped, highly regulated environments including healthcare, government, and financial services.

In addition, GPT-4 is employed to annotate tweets with positive reasons by generating semantic counterparts to the 10 predefined negative categories in the Twitter US Airline Sentiment dataset.

The limitations of traditional methods for diagnosing depression—such as reliance on patient cooperation, subjective bias, and low accuracy—have prompted researchers to explore alternative diagnostic tools. This study presents a multimodal approach aimed at enhancing the accuracy of depression diagnosis by utilizing Electroencephalography (EEG) and Event-Related Potential (ERP) Signals. The multimodal approach which incorporates different knowledge from different data modalities can lead to more accurate and stable diagnosis while providing a tool for early detection. For the analysis of the mentioned modalities, three key feature sets including, spatial, time-frequency, and spectral features are extracted. Node2vec algorithm is used to extract spatial information from a graph representation of the EEG signals from different electrodes. Cross wavelet transformation (XWT) combined with a pre-trained AlexNet was employed to extract time-frequency features, while power spectral density (PSD) features were processed by a temporal-separable convolutional network (TSCN) to extract spectral features. These features were then classified separately using Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and Transformer models to compare their effectiveness in depression diagnosis. The data which is experimented in this article is extracted from the Multi-modal Open Dataset for Mental-Disorder Analysis (MODMA) public database and includes signals from 3 and 128 electrodes. The results show that the GRU model outperforms Transformer and achieves k-fold cross-validation accuracies of 70.91%, 81.33%, 75.33% and 91% in different datasets. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to integrate EEG and ERP data in a multimodal fashion using three feature sets, achieving a high accuracy of 91% with GRU-based classification.

However, the growing complexity of network topologies and heterogeneous traffic patterns, combined with high-quality-of-service (QoS) demands, requires innovative routing schemes and existing AI-based optimisation procedures. Most existing methods model network structures using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) or implement Reinforcement Learning (RL) to route traffic adaptively, but rarely combine the two in a single, more representative framework. This paper proposes a hybrid GNN-RL system coupled with a cloud-based automated experimentation system to optimise topology-aware, multi-objective, and scalable programs in the network. Graph representations were created based on network flows of two heterogeneous datasets, namely NetBench and SDNFLow and a synchronised hybrid model. A normalised, multi-objective reward function that includes throughput, latency, packet loss, and a congestion penalty was proposed to address the reward imbalance, a frequent issue in RL routing. The RL component is trained and evaluated within the abstracted simulated environment and policy-derived QoS metrics are generated by routing actions. The controlled environment enables reproducible evaluation of the hybrid-GNN framework. Experimental analysis indicates that the optimised framework is more effective at QoS than standalone RL and GNN baselines. Latency was reduced by more than 70.7 ms in the original experiments to 17.7 ms and further to 9.6 ms with reward optimisation. Packet loss dropped by 6.3% to 1.49%, and throughput remained steady at 151–231 Mbps, improving over the baseline (85–88 Mbps). The coordinated training scheme enhanced convergence rate and routing stability in dynamic traffic environments.
