Early identification of abnormal physiological patterns is essential for the timely detection of cardiac disease . This work introduces a hybrid quantum - classical convolutional neural network (QCNN) designed to classify S3 and murmur abnormalities in heart sound signals. The approach transforms one - dimensional phonocardiogram (PCG) signals into compact two - dimensional images through a combination of wavelet feature extraction and adaptive threshold compression methods . We compress the cardiac sound patterns into an 8 - pixel image so that only 8 qubits are needed for the quantum stage. Preliminary results on the HLS - CMDS dataset demonstrate 93.3 3 % classification accuracy on the test set, and 97.14% on the train set, suggesting that quantum models can effi-cientl y capture temporal - spectral correlations in biomedical signals. To our knowledge, this is the first application of a QCNN algorithm for bio acoustic signal processing . The proposed method represents an early step toward quantum - enhanced diagnostic systems f or resource - constrained healthcare environments.

Type information plays an important role in the success of information retrieval and recommendation systems in software engineering. Thus, the absence of types in dynamically-typed languages poses a challenge to adapt these systems to support dynamic languages. In this paper, we explore the viability of type inference using textual cues. That is, we formulate the type inference problem as a classification problem which uses the textual features in the source code to predict the type of variables. In this approach, a classifier learns a model to distinguish between types of variables in a program. The model is subsequently used to (approximately) infer the types of other variables. We evaluate the feasibility of this approach on four Java projects wherein type information is already available in the source code and can be used to train and test a classifier. Our experiments show this approach can predict the type of new variables with relatively high accuracy (80% F-measure). These results suggest that textual cues can be complementary tools in inferring types for dynamic languages.
