Forecasting Conceptual Diffusion in Science: The Case of Quantum Computing
Thomas Maillart, Thibaut Chataing, David Dosu +3
Understanding and anticipating scientific change requires models that distinguish between endogenous consolidation and exogenous diffusion of scientific concepts. Using the quantum…
Explainable Forecasting of Scientific Breakthroughs from Concept Network Dynamics
Thomas Maillart, Thibaut Chataing, Ntorina Antoni +4
We introduce an explainable machine-learning approach that forecasts the structural precursors of scientific breakthroughs -- the emergence and intensification of links between res…
Building Digital Societies as Ecosystems: How Recognition and Repeat Relationships Sustain Cross-Community Work in Open Source
Lucia Gomez Tejeiro, Thibaut Chataing, Julian Jang-Jaccard +2
We measure cross-boundary collaboration in an open-source software (OSS) ecosystem by reconstructing the bipartite contributor-repository graph of 464 cybersecurity projects and 11…
Practical Challenges in Executing Shor's Algorithm on Existing Quantum Platforms
Paul Bagourd, Julian Jang-Jaccard, Vincent Lenders +3
Quantum computers pose a fundamental threat to widely deployed public-key cryptosystems, such as RSA and ECC, by enabling efficient integer factorization using Shor's algorithm. Th…
Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning in Cybersecurity: From Fundamentals to Applications
Christoph R. Landolt, Christoph Würsch, Roland Meier +2
Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) has shown great potential as an adaptive solution for addressing modern cybersecurity challenges. MARL enables decentralized, adaptive, an…
