Methodological and Conceptual Framework for 5D Multi-Table Analysis: A Unified Approach for Complex Data Reuse

Multi-table learning remains a major challenge in machine learning for healthcare and other complex information systems. Relational data combine several sources of complexity, including large data volume, high-dimensional variables, high-cardinality categorical features, complex inter-table dependencies, and repeated temporal observations. We introduce the Relational Hypergraph Transformer (RHT), a unified architecture that represents relational databases as hypergraphs, learns pentadimensional embeddings (PentE), and performs sparse relational attention with complexity proportional to the average relational degree rather than the square of the number of entities. We formally define the architecture, derive the complexity of its attention mechanism, and provide an open-source reference implementation. We evaluate RHT on the public Synthea synthetic electronic health record dataset using multi-label prediction of SNOMED CT condition codes per encounter, a task characterized by high categorical cardinality and long-tailed label distributions. Comparisons with tabular, relational, and temporal graph baselines show that RHT produces more semantically coherent embeddings while remaining computationally scalable. In this benchmark, the highest rare-code recall is achieved by XGBoost, whereas RHT attains the strongest embedding semantic coherence. We also report ablation studies quantifying the contribution of each architectural component. Clinical validation on MIMIC-IV is planned following PhysioNet credentialing. Source code and experimental protocols are provided in the accompanying repository.

OrthoAI: A Neurosymbolic Framework for Evidence-Grounded Biomechanical Reasoning in Clear Aligner Orthodontics

Automated clinical decision support for clear aligner orthodontics faces a key challenge: bridging geometric perception (3D tooth segmentation) with clinical reasoning (biomechanical feasibility). We address this with OrthOAI, introducing three methodological contributions. First, sparse-supervision segmentation: a landmark-to-point-cloud synthesis protocol enables training from sparse anatomical annotations (6-8 points per tooth) instead of dense labels, combined with a clinically stratified loss mixing label-smoothed cross-entropy and a batch-adaptive Dice term for class imbalance. Second, knowledge-grounded constraint inference: biomechanical feasibility is modeled as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem over a domain ontology of tooth movements, encoding evidence-based per-stage limits as soft and hard constraints. Third, multi-criteria treatment evaluation: treatment quality is scored through a formal Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis framework using a weighted Additive Value Function grounded in clinical priority theory. On landmark-reconstructed point clouds from 3DTeethLand (MICCAI 2024), segmentation reaches 81.4% Tooth Identification Rate with 60,705 parameters. Ablations quantify the impact of each design choice. End-to-end inference runs in under 4 seconds on CPU. We also outline the gap between the current prototype-trained on synthetic ellipsoidal approximations-and clinical deployment, with a roadmap for validation. Code and weights are released.

SwiftEmbed: Ultra-Fast Text Embeddings via Static Token Lookup for Real-Time Applications

We present SwiftEmbed, a production-oriented serving system for static token embeddings that achieves 1.12\,ms p50 latency for single-text requests while maintaining a 60.6 MTEB average score across 8 representative tasks. Built around the open-source Potion-base-8M distilled model from MinishLab and implemented in Rust, the system delivers 50,000 requests per second through static embedding lookup, mean pooling, and zero-copy IEEE754 binary serialization. Evaluation demonstrates exceptional duplicate detection performance (90.1% AP) and strong semantic similarity (76.1% Spearman correlation). Performance relative to Sentence-BERT is task-dependent: robust for deduplication and similarity workloads (89--100%), substantially lower for classification and complex retrieval tasks (75%). Domain-specific performance ranges from 75% to 131% of a GloVe-840B baseline. The system targets real-time embedding applications where sub-5\,ms latency is operationally critical and where full transformer inference is not feasible.

Zero-Knowledge Federated Learning with Lattice-Based Hybrid Encryption for Quantum-Resilient Medical AI

Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative training of medical AI models across hospitals without centralizing patient data. However, the exchange of model updates exposes critical vulnerabilities: gradient inversion attacks can reconstruct patient information, Byzantine clients can poison the global model, and the \emph{Harvest Now, Decrypt Later} (HNDL) threat renders today's encrypted traffic vulnerable to future quantum adversaries.We introduce \textbf{ZKFL-PQ} (\emph{Zero-Knowledge Federated Learning, Post-Quantum}), a three-tiered cryptographic protocol that hybridizes (i) ML-KEM (FIPS~203) for quantum-resistant key encapsulation, (ii) lattice-based Zero-Knowledge Proofs for verifiable \emph{norm-constrained} gradient integrity, and (iii) BFV homomorphic encryption for privacy-preserving aggregation. We formalize the security model and prove correctness and zero-knowledge properties under the Module-LWE, Ring-LWE, and SIS assumptions \emph{in the classical random oracle model}. We evaluate ZKFL-PQ on synthetic medical imaging data across 5 federated clients over 10 training rounds. Our protocol achieves \textbf{100\% rejection of norm-violating updates} while maintaining model accuracy at 100\%, compared to a catastrophic drop to 23\% under standard FL. The computational overhead (factor $\sim$20$\times$) is analyzed and shown to be compatible with clinical research workflows operating on daily or weekly training cycles. We emphasize that the current defense guarantees rejection of large-norm malicious updates; robustness against subtle low-norm or directional poisoning remains future work.

A Hybrid Tsallis-Polarization Impurity Measure for Decision Trees: Theoretical Foundations and Empirical Evaluation

We introduce the Integrated Tsallis Combination (ITC), a hybrid impurity measure for decision tree learning that combines normalized Tsallis entropy with an exponential polarization component. While many existing measures sacrifice theoretical soundness for computational efficiency or vice versa, ITC provides a mathematically principled framework that balances both aspects. The core innovation lies in the complementarity between Tsallis entropy's information-theoretic foundations and the polarization component's sensitivity to distributional asymmetry. We establish key theoretical properties-concavity under explicit parameter conditions, proper boundary conditions, and connections to classical measures-and provide a rigorous justification for the hybridization strategy. Through an extensive comparative evaluation on seven benchmark datasets comparing 23 impurity measures with five-fold repetition, we show that simple parametric measures (Tsallis $α=0.5$) achieve the highest average accuracy ($91.17\%$), while ITC variants yield competitive results ($88.38-89.16\%$) with strong theoretical guarantees. Statistical analysis (Friedman test: $χ^2=3.89$, $p=0.692$) reveals no significant global differences among top performers, indicating practical equivalence for many applications. ITC's value resides in its solid theoretical grounding-proven concavity under suitable conditions, flexible parameterization ($α$, $β$, $γ$), and computational efficiency $O(K)$-making it a rigorous, generalizable alternative when theoretical guarantees are paramount. We provide guidelines for measure selection based on application priorities and release an open-source implementation to foster reproducibility and further research.

Development and Comparative Evaluation of Three Artificial Intelligence Models (NLP, LLM, JEPA) for Predicting Triage in Emergency Departments: A 7-Month Retrospective Proof-of-Concept

Emergency departments struggle with persistent triage errors, especially undertriage and overtriage, which are aggravated by growing patient volumes and staff shortages. This study evaluated three AI models [TRIAGEMASTER (NLP), URGENTIAPARSE (LLM), and EMERGINET (JEPA)] against the FRENCH triage scale and nurse practice, using seven months of adult triage data from Roger Salengro Hospital in Lille, France. Among the models, the LLM-based URGENTIAPARSE consistently outperformed both AI alternatives and nurse triage, achieving the highest accuracy (F1-score 0.900, AUC-ROC 0.879) and superior performance in predicting hospitalization needs (GEMSA). Its robustness across structured data and raw transcripts highlighted the advantage of LLM architectures in abstracting patient information. Overall, the findings suggest that integrating LLM-based AI into emergency department workflows could significantly enhance patient safety and operational efficiency, though successful adoption will depend on addressing limitations and ensuring ethical transparency.
