    Forked hybrid architecture combining 1D-CNN and quantum convolutional networks for EEG signal classification

    Esmeray, Furkan; Gülten, Arif

    Detecting epileptic seizures from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals presents a significant challenge due to the nonlinear and non-stationary nature of brain activity. In this study, we propose a hybrid classification framework that integrates quantum-assisted and classical deep learning techniques to enhance detection accuracy and model interpretability. First, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is applied to extract multiscale time–frequency features from raw EEG signals. Subsequently, three comparative models are developed: a conventional 1D-CNN model, an IQCNN model incorporating a parametric quantum circuit, and a novel Forked Enhanced Model that processes EEG features simultaneously through both 1D-CNN and IQCNN branches and combines them in a fully connected layer. The proposed hybrid model leverages the expressive power of quantum entanglement while preserving the robustness of classical deep learning. Evaluations using 5-fold stratified cross-validation on a real EEG dataset show that the forked architecture outperforms both classical CNNs and quantum-only based models in terms of accuracy, F1 score, precision, recall, number of incorrectly classified subjects and AUC. In this study, the best result was obtained with the Denoise IQCNNNet hybrid model. The accuracy of this model is 97.25%, precision 92.74%, recall 93.66%, F-1 score 93.15%, AUC 99.54%, number of incorrectly classified subjects are 57. This study demonstrates the feasibility and potential of hybrid quantum-classical networks in biomedical signal processing and provides a foundation for real-time clinical seizure monitoring systems.

    Multiscale Time Series Modeling in Energy Demand Prediction: A CWT-Aided Hybrid Model

    Sezer, Elif; Yıldırım, Güngör; Özdemir, Mahmut Temel

    In the contemporary energy landscape, the increasing demand for electricity and the inherent uncertainties associated with the integration of renewable resources have rendered the accurate and reliable forecasting of short- and long-term demand imperative. Energy demand forecasting, fundamentally a time series problem, can be inherently complex, nonlinear, and multi-scale. Therefore, interest in artificial intelligence–based methods that provide high performance for short- and long-term forecasting, rather than traditional methods, has increased in order to solve these problems. In this study, a hybrid artificial intelligence model based on LSTM, GRU, and Random Forest, utilizing a distinct mechanism to address these types of problems, is proposed. The Multi-Scale Sliding Window (MSSW) approach was utilized for the model’s input data to capture the dynamics of the time series at different scales. The optimization of windows was conducted using the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) method to determine the optimal window sizes within the MSSW structure in a data-driven manner. Experimental studies on Panama’s real energy demand data from 2015 to 2020 show that the CWT-aided MSSW-hybrid model forecasts better with lower error rates (0.007 MAE, 0.009 RMSE, 1.051% MAPE) than single models and manually determined window sizes. The results of the study demonstrate the importance of hybrid structures and window optimization in energy demand forecasting.
