A classical convolutional neural network analyzes spatial patterns, with a multi-translation layer fusing quantum and classical outputs. An integration module combines results, adjusts circuit depth, monitors latency, and logs anomalies to persistent storage, ensuring real-time, comprehensive anomaly detection across diverse network environments.
