QSAR Model Validation: Structural Leakage and the Limits of Standard Benchmarks
Structural leakage inflates QSAR performance metrics systematically. This article analyses the mechanism, quantifies its impact in a kinase inhibitor dataset, and presents the Honest OOF Protocol as a rigorous alternative.

Interpretable AI in Quantitative Finance: Regime Detection and Symbolic Models
Non-stationarity, regime transitions, and regulatory explainability requirements demand more than black-box prediction. Symbolic regression applied within a regime-aware framework offers structural insight unavailable in standard ML approaches.
