Logical Grammar Induction via Graph Kolmogorov Complexity: A Neuro-Symbolic Framework for Self-Healing Clinical Data IntegrityAbolfazl Zarghani, Amir Malekesfandiari
The reliability of Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) is frequently compromised by human-induced data entry errors, which existing statistical anomaly detection methods fail to distinguish from legitimate clinical extremes. This paper proposes Logic-GNN, a novel neuro-symbolic framework that treats clinical records as a structured ``private language'' governed by latent logical games. By integrating Temporal Graph Neural Networks (TGNN) with Graph Kolmogorov Complexity, we induce a symbolic grammar that represents the underlying logic of medical interactions. We define anomalies as ``grammatical violations'' that cause a significant expansion in the Minimum Description Length (MDL) of the clinical graph. Evaluated on the Sina System dataset (2M+ records), Logic-GNN achieves an F1-score of 0.94, outperforming state-of-the-art baselines by 12\% in distinguishing between life-threatening medical outliers and data corruption. Our approach introduces a self-healing mechanism that suggests logical corrections to maintain data integrity in real-time HIS environments.

Designing Adaptive Algorithms Based on Reinforcement Learning for Dynamic Optimization of Sliding Window Size in Multi-Dimensional Data StreamsAbolfazl Zarghani, Sadegh Abedi
Multi-dimensional data streams, prevalent in applications like IoT, financial markets, and real-time analytics, pose significant challenges due to their high velocity, unbounded nature, and complex inter-dimensional dependencies. Sliding window techniques are critical for processing such streams, but fixed-size windows struggle to adapt to dynamic changes like concept drift or bursty patterns. This paper proposes a novel reinforcement learning (RL)-based approach to dynamically optimize sliding window sizes for multi-dimensional data streams. By formulating window size selection as an RL problem, we enable an agent to learn an adaptive policy based on stream characteristics, such as variance, correlations, and temporal trends. Our method, RL-Window, leverages a Dueling Deep Q-Network (DQN) with prioritized experience replay to handle non-stationarity and high-dimensionality. Evaluations on benchmark datasets (UCI HAR, PAMAP2, Yahoo! Finance Stream) demonstrate that RL-Window outperforms state-of-the-art methods like ADWIN and CNN-Adaptive in classification accuracy, drift robustness, and computational efficiency. Additional qualitative analyses, extended metrics (e.g., energy efficiency, latency), and a comprehensive dataset characterization further highlight its adaptability and stability, making it suitable for real-time applications.

Comparative Analysis of LSTM Neural Networks and Traditional Machine Learning Models for Predicting Diabetes Patient ReadmissionAbolfazl Zarghani
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that has emerged as one of the major health problems worldwide due to its high prevalence and serious complications, which are pricey to manage. Effective management requires good glycemic control and regular follow-up in the clinic; however, non-adherence to scheduled follow-ups is very common. This study uses the Diabetes 130-US Hospitals dataset for analysis and prediction of readmission patients by various traditional machine learning models, such as XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost, Decision Tree, and Random Forest, and also uses an in-house LSTM neural network for comparison. The quality of the data was assured by preprocessing it, and the performance evaluation for all these models was based on accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. LightGBM turned out to be the best traditional model, while XGBoost was the runner-up. The LSTM model suffered from overfitting despite high training accuracy. A major strength of LSTM is capturing temporal dependencies among the patient data. Further, SHAP values were used, which improved model interpretability, whereby key factors among them number of lab procedures and discharge disposition were identified as critical in the prediction of readmissions. This study demonstrates that model selection, validation, and interpretability are key steps in predictive healthcare modeling. This will help health providers design interventions for improved follow-up adherence and better management of diabetes.

IG-CFAT: An Improved GAN-Based Framework for Effectively Exploiting Transformers in Real-World Image Super-ResolutionAlireza Aghelan, Ali Amiryan, Abolfazl Zarghani et al.
In the field of single image super-resolution (SISR), transformer-based models, have demonstrated significant advancements. However, the potential and efficiency of these models in applied fields such as real-world image super-resolution have been less noticed and there are substantial opportunities for improvement. Recently, composite fusion attention transformer (CFAT), outperformed previous state-of-the-art (SOTA) models in classic image super-resolution. In this paper, we propose a novel GAN-based framework by incorporating the CFAT model to effectively exploit the performance of transformers in real-world image super-resolution. In our proposed approach, we integrate a semantic-aware discriminator to reconstruct fine details more accurately and employ an adaptive degradation model to better simulate real-world degradations. Moreover, we introduce a new combination of loss functions by adding wavelet loss to loss functions of GAN-based models to better recover high-frequency details. Empirical results demonstrate that IG-CFAT significantly outperforms existing SOTA models in both quantitative and qualitative metrics. Our proposed model revolutionizes the field of real-world image super-resolution and demonstrates substantially better performance in recovering fine details and generating realistic textures. The introduction of IG-CFAT offers a robust and adaptable solution for real-world image super-resolution tasks.
