The Query Channel: Information-Theoretic Limits of Masking-Based Explanations

Erciyes Karakaya, Ozgur Ercetin

Masking-based post-hoc explanation methods, such as KernelSHAP and LIME, estimate local feature importance by querying a black-box model under randomized perturbations. This paper…

Perceptual-Quality based AMC for Enhanced mmWave Spectral Efficiency: Concept and Experiment

Kıvanç Değirmenci, Hasan Atalay Günel, Mohaned Chraiti +3

For high-throughput applications such as ultra-high-definition video streaming and immersive extended-reality, perceptual quality rather than bit-level accuracy defines the primary…

High-Fidelity Network Management for Federated AI-as-a-Service: Cross-Domain Orchestration

Mohaned Chraiti, Ozgur Ercetin, Merve Saimler

To support the emergence of AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS), communication service providers (CSPs) are on the verge of a radical transformation-from pure connectivity providers to AIaaS a…

Predictive-State Communication: Innovation Coding and Reconciliation under Delay

Ozgur Ercetin, Mohaned Chraiti

Shannon theory models communication as the reliable transfer of symbol sequences, with performance governed by capacity and rate-distortion limits. When both endpoints possess stro…

Fidelity-Age-Aware Scheduling in Quantum Repeater Networks

Ozgur Ercetin, Zafer Gedik

Quantum repeater networks distribute entanglement over long distances but must balance fidelity, delay, and resource contention. Prior work optimized throughput and end-to-end fide…

On the Structure of the Optimal Detector for Sub-THz Multi-Hop Relays with Unknown Prior: Over-the-Air Diffusion

Ozgur Ercetin, Mohaned Chraiti

Amplify and forward (AF) relaying is a viable strategy to extend the coverage of sub-terahertz (sub-THz) links, but inevitably propagates noise, leading to cumulative degradation a…
