Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Terahertz (THz) biosensors have emerged as a promising technology for medical diagnostics, particularly for cancer detection, due to their unique capability to interact with biological tissues at the molecular level. This research presents a novel THz biosensor design that combines silver-based surface plasmon resonance metasurfaces with a sophisticated neural network architecture, termed as elastic reflection starling murmuration equivariant quantum decision network. By leveraging reflection equivariant quantum neural networks and integrating them with an elastic decision transformer, this design enhances the sensitivity and specificity of cancer detection by capturing subtle biomolecular interactions. The starling murmuration optimizer extends this process, tweaking the tuning parameters to avoid as many false alarms as possible and to obtain exactly the correct resonant shift for each biomarker change. Its high sensitivity, combined with a quantum-inspired decision process, makes this biosensor a platform for increasing the early diagnostics of tumors compared to traditional approaches. The model also delivers early cancer classifying sensitivity of approximately 99.8%. The suggested structure’s sensitivity can be enhanced up to 275 GHz RIU −1 with the FOM of 3.05 RIU −1 and Q factor of 11.85. The proposed architecture shows potential for scalable applications in clinical settings, aiding in timely diagnosis and potentially improving patient outcomes.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
