Abstract: Sentiment analysis (SA)at the sentence, aspect, and document levels determines the sentiment of particular aspect phrases in a given sentence. Due to their capacity to extract sentiment information from text in aspect-level sentiment classification, neural networks (NNs) have achieved significant success. Generally speaking, sufficiently sizable training corpora are necessary for NNs to be effective. The performance of NN-based systems is reduced by the small size of the aspect-level corpora currently available. In this research, we suggest a gated bilateral recurrent neural network (G-Bi-RNN) as a foundation for multi-source data fusion, their system offers sentiment information that several sources. We develop …a uniform architecture specifically to include information from sentimental lexicons, including aspect- and sentence-level corpora. To further provide aspect-specific phrase representations for SA, we use G-Bi-RNN, a deep bilateral Transformer-based pre-trained language model. We assess our methods using SemEval 2014 datasets for laptops and restaurants. According to experimental findings, our method consistently outperforms cutting-edge techniques on all datasets. We use a number of well-known aspect-level SA datasets to assess the efficacy of our model. Experiments show that when compared to baseline models, the suggested model can produce state-of-the-art results. Show more

Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) devices installed in hospital direct data unceasingly; in this manner, energy usage augments with the number of broadcasts too. In this paper, Reliable Cluster based Data Collection Framework (RCDCF) for IoT-Big Data Healthcare Applications (HA) is developed. During clustering process, the connected IoT devices are grouped into clusters. In clustering technique, the available IoT devices are gathered into groups. The device with high battery capacity and processing ability is selected as a cluster head (CH). Each member of the cluster is allocated multiple slots by applying a general function pooled by the Fog node and the …entire devices. To perceive and eliminate outliers from the sensor data, Density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) method is utilized. To forecast the objective and subjective behaviours of the equipments, a Random Forest Deep Neural Network (RF-DNN) based classification model is utilized. By experimental results, it has been shown that RCDCF achieves 19% and 20% reduced energy consumption at Cloud and Fog centers, respectively. Moreover, RCDCF has 2.1% and 1.3% increased correctness of data at Cloud and Fog data centers, respectively, when compared to the existing framework. Show more

Abstract: SLR, which assists hearing-impaired people to communicate with other persons by sign language, is considered as a promising method. However, as the features of some of the static SL could be the same as the feature in a single frame of dynamic Isolated Sign Language (ISL), the generation of accurate text corresponding to the SL is necessary during the SLR. Therefore, Edge-directed Interpolation-based Recurrent Neural Network (EI-RNN)-centered text generation with varied features of the static and dynamic Isolated SL is proposed in this article. Primarily, ISL videos are converted to frames and pre-processed with key frame extraction and illumination control. …After that, the foreground is separated with the Symmetric Normalised Laplacian-centered Otsu Thresholding (SLOT) technique for finding accurate key points in the human pose. The human pose’s key points are extracted with the Media Pipeline Holistic (MPH) pipeline approach and to improve the features of the face and hand sign, the resultant frame is fused with the depth image. After that, to differentiate the static and dynamic actions, the action change in the fused frames is determined with a correlation matrix. After that, to engender the output text for the respective SL, features are extracted individually as of the static and dynamic frames. It is obtained from the analysis that when analogized to the prevailing models, the proposed EI-RNN’s translation accuracy is elevated by 2.05% in INCLUDE 50 Indian SL based Dataset and Top 1 Accuracy 2.44% and Top 10 accuracy, 1.71% improved in WLASL 100 American SL.

Abstract: The Internet’s evolution resulted in a massive amount of data. As a result, the internet has become more sophisticated and vulnerable to massive attacks. The attack detection system is a key feature for system security in modern networks. The IDS might be signature-based or detect anomalous behavior. Researchers recently created several detection algorithms for identifying network intrusions in vehicular network security, but they failed to detect intrusions effectively. For this reason, the optimal Deep Learning approach, namely Political Fractional Dingo Optimizer (PFDOX)-based Deep belief network is introduced for attack detection in network security for vehicles. The Internet of Vehicle simulation …is done initially, and then the input data is passed into the pre-processing phase, which removes noise present in the data. Then, the feature extraction module receives the pre-processed data. The Deep Maxout Network is trained using the Fractional Dingo optimizer (FDOX)is utilized to detect normal and abnormal behavior. Fractional calculus and Dingo optimizer (DOX) are combined to create the proposed FDOX. Finally, intruder/attack types are classified using the Deep Belief Network, which is tuned using the PFDOX. The PFDOX is created by the assimilation of the DOX, Fractional Calculus, and Political Optimizer (PO). The experimental result shows that the designed PFDOX_DBN for attack type classification offers a better result based on f-measure, precision, and recall with the values of 0.924, 0.916, and 0.932, for the CIC-IDS2017 dataset.

Abstract: Lung cancer incidence and mortality continue to rise rapidly around the world. According to the American Cancer Society, the five-year survivability for individuals in the metastasis phases is significantly lower, highlighting the importance of early lung cancer diagnosis for effective therapy and improved quality of life. To achieve this, it is crucial to combine PET’s sensitivity for recognizing abnormal regions with CT’s anatomical localization for evaluating PET-CT images in computer-assisted detection implementations. Current PET-CT image evaluation methods either run each modality independently or aggregate the data from both, but they often overlook the fact that different visual features encode different …types of data from different modalities. For instance, high atypical PET uptake within the lungs is more crucial for identifying tumors compared to physical PET uptake in the heart. To address the challenges of fine-grained issues during feature extraction and fusion, we propose an interpretable deep learning-based solution for lung cancer diagnosis using CT and PET images. This involves building an Optimal Adversarial Network for merging and an Optimal Attention-based Generative Adversarial Network with Classifier (Opt_att-GANC) to augment the classification of the existence and nonexistence of lung cancer based on extracted features. The performance of the Opt_att-GANC is compared with existing methodologies like global-feature encoding U-Net (GEU-Net), 3D Dense-Net, and 3D Convolutional Neural Network Technique (3D-CNN). Results show that the proposed Opt_att-GANC achieves an F1-score of 67.08%, 93.74% accuracy, 92% precision, 92.1% recall, and 93.74% recall. The prospective study aims to enhance the precision degree with reduced duration by incorporating an ensemble neural network paradigm for feature extraction. Show more

Abstract: In the current scenario, feature selection (FS) remains one of the very important functions in machine learning. Decreasing the feature set (FSt) assists in enhancing the classifier’s accuracy. Because of the existence of a huge quantity of data within the dataset (DS), it remains a colossal procedure for choosing the requisite features out of the DS. Hence, for resolving this issue, a new Chaos Quasi-Oppositional-based Flamingo Search Algorithm with Simulated Annealing Algorithm (CQOFSASAA) has been proffered for FS and for choosing the optimum FSt out of the DSs, and, hence, this lessens the DS’ dimension. The FSA technique can be …employed for selecting the optimal feature subset out of the DS. Generalized Ring Crossover has been as well embraced for selecting the very pertinent features out of the DS. Lastly, the Kernel Extreme Learning Machine (KELM) classifier authenticates the chosen features. This proffered paradigm’s execution has been tested by standard DSs and the results have been correlated with the rest of the paradigms. From the experimental results, it has been confirmed that this proffered CQOFSASAA attains 93.74% of accuracy, 92% of sensitivity, and 92.1% of specificity. Show more

Abstract: The Indian stock market is a dynamic, complicated system that is impacted by many different variables, making it difficult to anticipate its future. The utilization of deep learning and optimization techniques to forecast stock market movements has gained popularity in recent years. To foresee the Indian stock market, an innovative approach is presented in this study that combines the Grey Wolf Optimization algorithm with a hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Bi-Directional Long-Short Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) framework. The stock market information is first pre-processed utilizing a CNN to extract pertinent features. The Bi-LSTM system, that is intended to capture the …long-term dependencies and temporal correlations of the stock market statistics, is then fed the CNN’s outcome. The model parameters are then optimized utilizing the Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) technique, which also increases forecasting accuracy. The findings demonstrate that, in terms of forecasting accuracy, the suggested method outperforms a number of contemporary methods, including conventional time series models, neural networks, and evolutionary algorithms. Thus, the suggested methodology provides an effective way to forecast the Indian stock market by combining deep learning and optimization approaches. Show more

Abstract: Numerous people are interested in learning yoga due to the increased tension levels in the modern lifestyle, and there are a variety of techniques or resources available. Yoga is practiced in yoga centers, by personal instructors, and through books, the Internet, recorded videos, etc. As the aforementioned resources may not always be available, a large number of people will opt for self-study in fast-paced lifestyles. Self-learning makes it impossible to recognize an incorrect posture. Incorrect poses will have a negative effect on the patient’s health, causing severe agony and long-term chronic issues. Computer vision (CV)-related techniques derive pose features and …conduct pose analysis using non-invasive CV methods. The application of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to an inter-disciplinary field like yoga becomes quite difficult. Due to its potent feature learning ability, deep learning (DL) has recently achieved an impressive level of performance in classifying yoga poses. In this paper, an artificial algae optimizer with hybrid deep learning-based yoga pose estimation (AAOHDL-YPE) model is presented. The presented AAOHDL-YPE model analyzes yoga video clips to estimate pose. Utilizing Part Confidence Map and Part Affinity Field with bipartite equivalent and parsing, OpenPose can be employed to determine the joint location. The deep belief network (DBN) model is then used for Yoga recognition. Finally, the AAO algorithm is utilized to enhance the EfficientNet model’s recognition performance. The results of a comprehensive experimentation analysis reveal that the AAOHDL-YPE technique produces superior results in comparison to existing methods. Show more

Abstract: Traditional testimony and electronic endorsements are extremely challenging to uphold and defend, and there is a problem with challenging authentication. The identity of the student is typically not recognized when it comes to requirements for access to a student’s academic credentials that are scattered over numerous sites. This is an issue with cross-domain authentication methods. On the one hand, whenever the volume of cross-domain authentication requests increases dramatically, the response time can become intolerable because of the slow throughput associated with blockchain mechanisms. These systems still do not give enough thought to the cross-domain scenario’s anonymity problem. This research proposes …an effective cross-domain authentication mechanism called XAutn that protects anonymity and integrates seamlessly through the present Certificate Transparency (CT) schemes. XAutn protects privacy and develops a fast response correctness evaluation method that is based on the RSA (Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman) cryptographic accumulator, Zero Knowledge Proof Algorithm, and Proof of Continuous work consensus Algorithm (POCW). We also provide a privacy-aware computation authentication approach to strengthen the integrity of the authentication messages more securely and counteract the discriminatory analysis of malevolent requests. This research is primarily used to validate identities in a blockchain network, which makes it possible to guarantee their authenticity and integrity while also increasing security and privacy. The proposed technique greatly outperformed the current methods in terms of authentication time, period required for storage, space for storage, and overall processing cost. The proposed method exhibits a speed gain of authentication of roughly 9% when compared to traditional blockchain systems. The security investigation and results from experiments demonstrate how the proposed approach is more reliable and trustworthy. Show more

When the Vehicles are in movement, we confront the difficulty in timely methods, network stability, and routing concerns like reliability and scalability. We must additionally address issues such as fair network access, inappropriate behaviour identification, cancellation, the authentication process, confidentiality, and vehicle trustworthiness verification. The proposed All-Wheel Control (AWC) method in this study may improve the safety and efficiency of VANETs. This technology would also benefit future intelligent transportation systems.

Abstract: Coronavirus is a new pathogen that causes both the upper and lower respiratory systems. The global COVID-19 pandemic’s size, rate of transmission, and the number of deaths is all steadily rising. COVID-19 instances could be detected and analyzed using Computed Tomography scanning. For the identification of lung infection, chest CT imaging has the advantages of speedy detection, relatively inexpensive, and high sensitivity. Due to the obvious minimal information available and the complicated image features, COVID-19 identification is a difficult process. To address this problem, modified-Deformed Entropy (QDE) algorithm for CT image scanning is suggested. To enhance the number of training …samples for effective testing and training, the suggested method utilizes QDE to generate CT images. The retrieved features are used to classify the results. Rapid innovations in quantum mechanics had prompted researchers to use Quantum Machine Learning (QML) to test strategies for improvement. Furthermore, the categorization of corona diagnosed, and non-diagnosed pictures is accomplished through Quanvolutional Neural Network (QNN). To determine the suggested techniques, the results are related with other methods. For processing the COVID-19 imagery, the study relates QNN with other existing methods. On comparing with other models, the suggested technique produced improved outcomes. Also, with created COVID-19 CT images, the suggested technique outperforms previous state-of-the-art image synthesis techniques, indicating possibilities for different machine learning techniques such as cognitive segmentation and classification. As a result of the improved model training/testing, the image classification results are more accurate. Show more

Abstract: Time-sensitive programs that are linked to smart services, such as smart healthcare as well as smart cities, are supported in large part by the fog computing domain. Due to the increased speed limitation of the cloud, Cloud Computing (CC) is a competent platform for fog in data processing, but it is unable to meet the demands of time-sensitive programs. The procedure of resource provisioning, as well as allocation in either a fog-cloud structure, takes into account dynamic changes in user requirements, and resources with limited access in fog devices are more difficult to manage. Due to the continual changes in …user requirement factors, the deadline represents the biggest obstacle in the fog computing structure. Hence the objective is to minimize the total cost involved in scheduling by maximizing resource utilization. For dynamic scheduling in the fog-cloud computing model, the efficiency of hybridization of the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) and Lion Algorithm (LA) is developed in this study. In terms of energy costs, processing costs, and communication costs, the created GWOMLA-based Deep Belief Network (DBN) performed better and outruns the other traditional models. Show more

Abstract: To address the issue of final delivery route planning in the community group purchase model, this study takes into full consideration logistics vehicles of different energy types. With the goal of minimizing the sum of vehicle operating costs, delivery timeliness costs, goods loss costs, and carbon emissions costs, a multi-objective optimization model for community group purchase final delivery route planning is constructed. An improved genetic algorithm with a hill-climbing algorithm is utilized to enhance adaptive genetic operators, preventing the algorithm from getting stuck in local optima and improving the solution efficiency. Finally, a case study simulation is conducted to validate …the feasibility of the model and algorithm. Experimental results indicate that currently, among the three types of vehicles, fuel logistics vehicles still have an advantage in terms of vehicle usage cost. Electric logistics vehicles exhibit the poorest performance with the highest cost per hundred kilometers, but their sole advantage lies in their high energy release efficiency, enabling optimal low-carbon vehicle performance. Battery-swapping logistics vehicles perform the best in terms of carbon emissions, combining the advantages of both fuel-based and electric logistics vehicles. Therefore, battery-swapping logistics vehicles are a favorable choice for replacing fuel-based logistics vehicles in the future, offering promising prospects for future development. Show more

Abstract: Energy is a critical resource for daily activities and lifestyles with direct impacts on the economy, health and environment. Therefore, monitoring its efficient use is essential to reduce energy waste and lessen related concerns such as global warming and climate change. One of the prominent and evolving solutions is Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) smart meters, which enables consumers to track their per-appliance energy consumption more effectively. Some recent approaches have proposed deep learning as a powerful tool for energy disaggregation. However, it is difficult to employ these models in resource-constrained end devices for effective energy monitoring. In this paper, we …explore and evaluate a lightweight improved model for multi-target non-intrusive load monitoring based on MobileNet architectures. With extensive experiments using the ENERTALK dataset, the results show that MobileNetV3-large is the most appealing for energy disaggregation as it requires about 55% less storage for trained model and about 6% less training time than MobileNetV2 with almost the same performance. On average, version 3 large has a 17.63% reduction in SAE and requires 54.21% and 8.93% less space and less training time than version 2, respectively. Moreover, the average performance is boosted using an ensemble multi-target MobileNet model across all houses, leading to significant reduction of MAE, SAE, and RMSE errors of about 6%, 48%, and 4%, respectively. In comparison to other work, the proposed MMNet-NILM shows superior performance for the majority of appliances in terms of all considered evaluation metrics. Show more

Abstract: Video Super Resolution (VSR) applications extensively utilize deep learning-based methods. Several VSR methods primarily focus on improving the fine-patterns within reconstructed video frames. It frequently overlooks the crucial aspect of keeping conformation details, particularly sharpness. Therefore, reconstructed video frames often fail to meet expectations. In this paper, we propose a Conformation Detail-Preserving Network (CDPN) named as SuperVidConform. It focuses on restoring local region features and maintaining the sharper details of video frames. The primary focus of this work is to generate the high-resolution (HR) frame from its corresponding low-resolution (LR). It consists of two parts: (i) The proposed model decomposes …confirmation details from the ground-truth HR frames to provide additional information for the super-resolution process, and (ii) These video frames pass to the temporal modelling SR network to learn local region features by residual learning that connects the network intra-frame redundancies within video sequences. The proposed approach is designed and validated using VID4, SPMC, and UDM10 datasets. The experimental results show the proposed model presents an improvement of 0.43 dB (VID4), 0.78 dB (SPMC), and 0.84 dB (UDM10) in terms of PSNR. Further, the CDPN model set new standards for the performance of self-generated surveillance datasets. Show more

Explainable Decision Support Systems (XDSS) have emerged as a promising solution to address these issues by providing explanatory meaning and interpretation to users about their decisions. These XDSSs play an important role in increasing transparency and confidence in automated decision-making. However, the increasing complexity of data processing and decision models presents computational challenges that need to be investigated. …This review, therefore, focuses on exploring the computational complexity challenges associated with implementing explainable AI models in decision support systems. The motivations behind explainable AI were discussed, explanation methods and their computational complexities were analyzed, and trade-offs between complexity and interpretability were highlighted. This review provides insights into the current state-of-the-art computational complexity within explainable decision support systems and future research directions. Show more

Abstract: Detecting communities within a network is a critical component of network analysis. The process involves identifying clusters of nodes that exhibit greater similarity to each other compared to other nodes in the network. In the context of Complex networks (CN), community detection becomes even more important as these clusters provide relevant information of interest. Traditional mathematical and clustering methods have limitations in terms of data visualization and high-dimensional information extraction. To address these challenges, graph neural network learning methods have gained popularity in community detection, as they are capable of handling complex structures and multi-dimensional data. Developing a framework for …community detection in complex networks using graph neural network learning is a challenging and ongoing research objective. Therefore, it is essential for researchers to conduct a thorough review of community detection techniques that utilize cutting-edge graph neural network learning methods [102 ], in order to analyze and construct effective detection models. This paper provides a brief overview of graph neural network learning methods based on community detection methods and summarizes datasets, evaluation metrics, applications, and challenges of community detection in complex networks.

Abstract: As the entire world is becoming increasingly a global village, the need for reliable, smooth, and easy-to-use applications that facilitate the communication process between people speaking different languages worldwide becomes essential, especially in the tourism industry. While numerous online and mobile applications attempt to bridge the linguistic gap using text-to-text, text-to-voice, or voice-to-text-to-voice translators, they often fall short due to constraints such as the need for a single shared device, manual setup of speaker’s gender and preferred language, and an inability to communicate from a distance. These applications struggle to mimic the practical nature of real-time multilingual conversations where immediate …and clear communication is paramount. This paper introduces an intelligent peer-to-peer polyglot voice-to-voice mobile application to facilitate the communication of people speaking different languages worldwide transparently mimicking a live conversation whether the involved parties are close to each other or at a nearby distance. People can interact with others transparently using their preferred language, irrespective of others’ languages, while the application automatically recognizes the language, gender of the speaker, and spoken words with very high accuracy. Five languages were implemented in the developed application as a proof-of-concept, and it is designed to smoothly and simply adapt more in future updates. Show more

Abstract: Mobile devices have risen due to internet growth in recent years. The next generation of internet protocol is evolving for mobile devices to generate their addresses and get continuous services across networks to support the enormous number of addresses in network-based mobility. The mobile device updates its current location to its home network and the correspondent users through a binding update scheme in the visited network. Numerous studies have investigated binding update schemes to verify the reachability of the mobile device at its home network. However, most schemes endure security threats due to the incompetence of authenticating user identity and …concealing the temporary location of mobile devices. To address these issues, this paper proposes a secure and efficient binding update scheme (One-CLU) by incorporating a one-key-based cryptographically generated address (CGA) to validate and conceal the address ownership of mobile devices with minimal computations. The security correctness of the proposed One-CLU scheme is verified using AVISPA – a model checker. Finally, the simulation and the numerical results showthat the proposed scheme significantly reduces communication payloads and costs for the binding update, binding refresh, and packet delivery.

Abstract: Speaker demographic recognition and segmentation analytics play a key role in offering personalized experiences across different automated industries and businesses. This paper aims at developing a multi-label demographic recognition system for Arabic speakers from audio and associated textual modalities. The system can detect age groups, genders, and dialects, but it can be easily extended to incorporate more demographic traits. The proposed method is based on deep learning for feature learning and recognition. Representations of audio modality are learned through 3D spectrogram and AlexNet CNN-based architecture. An AraBERT transformer is employed for learning representations of the textual modality. Additionally, a method …is provided for fusing audio and textual representations. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated using the Saudi Audio Dataset for Arabic (SADA), which is a recently published database containing audio recordings of TV shows in different Arabic dialects. The experimental findings show that when using models with standalone modalities for multi-label demographic classification, textual modality using AraBERT performed better than the audio modality represented using 3D spectrogram along with AlexNet CNN-based architecture. Furthermore, when combining both modalities, audio and textual, significant improvement has been attained for all demographic traits. Show more

Abstract: Fabrication of semiconductor wafers is a complex process and chances of defect wafers are high. Because of defective wafers the circuit patterns will not be created correctly and it is necessary to identify them. Manual identification of defects are time consuming and expensive. Deep learning methods are widely used for defect detection. In this paper we propose a simple Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model for classification of nine defects in wafers. A custom CNN consisting of 9 layers is used for the classification of defects as Center, Donut, Edge-Loc, Edge-Ring, Loc, Random, Scratch, Near-full, and None. Performance of the model …is evaluated using WM-811K dataset. Results shows that the model classifies the defects with high confidence score and an accuracy of 99.1% is achieved using this method. Further, the convolution operation in the CNN is realized using Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer (CORDIC) algorithm. The model is implemented in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) and proved less complex method and consume less computational power than conventional methods. Show more

Abstract:  Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a modern networking architecture that segregates control logic from data plane and supports a loosely coupled architecture. It provides flexibility in this advanced networking paradigm for any changes. Further, it controls the complete network in a centralized using controller(s). However, it comes with several security issues: Exhausting bandwidth and flow tables, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, etc. DDoS is a powerful attack for Internet-based applications and services, traditional and SDN paradigms. In the case of the SDN environment, attackers frequently target the central controller(s). This paper proposes a Kafka Streams-based real-time DDoS attacks classification approach …for the SDN environment, named KS-SDN-DDoS. The KS-SDN-DDoS has been designed using highly scalable H2O ML techniques on the two-node Apache Hadoop Cluster (AHC). It consists of two modules: (i) Network Traffic Capture (NTCapture) and (ii) Attack Detection and Traffic Classification (ADTClassification). The NTCapture is deployed on the two nodes Apache Kafka Streams Cluster (AKSC-1). It captures incoming network traffic, extracts and formulates attributes, and publishes significant network traffic attributes on the Kafka topic. The ADTClassification is deployed on the two nodes Apache Kafka Streams Cluster (AKSC-2). It consumes network flows from the Kafka topic, classifies it based on the ten attributes, and publishes it to the decision Kafka topic. Further, it saves attributes with outcome to the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). The KS-SDN-DDoS approach is designed and validated using the recent “DDoS Attack SDN dataset”. The result shows that the proposed system gives better classification accuracy (100%). Show more

Abstract: With the increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DER) in microgrids, DER power inverters have become a critical asset for providing power support to these microgrids. Meanwhile, the grid-forming (GFM) inverters, among these DER inverters, have gained significant attention in microgrid applications for their capability to enable the DERs to operate in different microgrid conditions and various operation modes. Moreover, with the implementation of these GFM inverters, smooth operation mode transition, GFM functions as well as black start functions can be obtained to improve the operation of the microgrid systems. In this article, a generalized control method for a single-phase …GFM inverter is developed for community microgrid applications, facilitating smooth operation behavior in both operation modes with grid support functions and stable transition for different microgrid conditions. The control design procedure and function analysis of the proposed control method are explained in detail based on the community microgrid system. The effectiveness of the method in this paper is demonstrated on a 10 kW single-phase GFM inverter prototype with comparison to a model predictive method in recent literature. Show more

Abstract: Glaucoma is an eye disease that requires early detection and proper diagnosis for timely intervention and treatment which can help slow down further progression and to manage intraocular pressure. This paper aims to address the problem by proposing a novel approach that combines a model-based Reinforcement Learning (RL) approach, called DynaGlaucoDetect, with ocular gaze data. By leveraging the RL algorithms to simulate and predict the dynamics of glaucoma, a model-based approach can improve the accuracy and efficiency of glaucoma detection by enabling better preservation of visual health. The RL agent is trained using real experiences and synthetic experiences which are …generated using the model-based algorithm Dyna-Q. Two different Q-table generation methods have been discussed: the Direct Synthesis Method (DSM) and the Indirect Synthesis Method (IdSM). The presence of glaucoma has been detected by comparing the reward score a patient obtains with the threshold values obtained through the performed experimentation. The scores obtained using DSM and IdSM have been compared to understand the learning of the agent in both cases. Finally, hyperparameter tuning has been performed to identify the best set of hyperparameters. Show more

Abstract: This paper introduces a new fuzzy structure named “fuzzy primal.” Then, it studies the essential properties and discusses their basic operations. By applying the q-neighborhood system in a primal fuzzy topological space and the Łukasiewicz disjunction, we establish a fuzzy operator (·) ⋄ on the family of all fuzzy sets, followed by its core characterizations. Next, we use (·) ⋄ to investigate a further fuzzy operator denoted by Cl ⋄ . To determine a new fuzzy topology from the existing one, the earlier fuzzy operators are explored. Such a new fuzzy topology is called primal fuzzy topology. Various properties of …primal fuzzy topologies are found. Among others, the structure of a fuzzy base that generates a primal fuzzy topology. Furthermore, the concept of compatibility between fuzzy primals and fuzzy topologies is introduced, and some equivalent conditions to that concept are examined. It is shown that if a fuzzy primal is compatible with a fuzzy topology, then the fuzzy base that produces the primal fuzzy topology is itself a fuzzy topology. Show more

Abstract: Industry experts are motivated to collect, collate, and analyse historical data in the legal sector in attempt to predict court case outcomes as the amount of historical data available in this field has increased over time. But using judicial data to predict and defend court judgements is no simple undertaking. Using Machine Learning (ML) models and traditional approaches for categorical feature encoding, previous research on predicting court outcomes using limited experimental datasets produced a number of unexpected predictions. The paper proposes an ensemble model combining Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), attention mechanism and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) algorithm. This model is …primarily based on a self-attention network, which could simultaneously capture linguistic relationships over lengthy sequences like RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) and is nevertheless speedy to train like CNN. C-XGB can obtain accuracy that surpasses the state-of-art model on numerous classification/prediction tasks simultaneously as being twice as speedy to train. The proposed C-XGB model is designed to process the documents hierarchically and calculates the attention weights. Two convolutional layers are used to calculate the attention weights, one at the word level and another at the sentence level. And finally, at the last layer, the XGB algorithm predicts the input case file’s outcome. The experimental results shows that the proposed model outperforms the existing model with 4.67% improvement in accuracy value. Show more

Abstract: The term “educational data mining” refers to a field of study where information from academic environments is predicted using data mining, machine learning, and statistics. Education is the act of giving or receiving knowledge to or from someone who is formally studying and developing a natural talent. Over time, scholars have used data mining techniques to uncover hidden information in educational statistics and other external elements. This study suggests a unique method for analysing academic student performance that is based on data mining and machine learning. Here, the input is gathered as a dataset of student academic performance and is …processed for normalisation and noise reduction. Then, using the Boltzmann deep learning model coupled with linear kernel principal component analysis, this data’s characteristics were retrieved and chosen. Based on weights, information gain, and the Gini index, the characteristics are assessed and optimised. Following the selection of the pertinent data, conditional random field-based probabilistic clustering model is performed using RNN-based training, and the academic performance of the students is then examined using voting classifiers and sparse features.

Abstract: Cloud computing is a new technology that provides services to customers anywhere, anytime, under varying conditions and managed by a third-party cloud provider. Even though cloud computing has progressed a lot, some attacks still happen. The recent anomalous and signature attacks use clever strategies such as low-rate attacks and attacking as an authenticated user. In this paper, a novel Attack Detection and Prevention (ADAPT) method is proposed to overcome this issue. The proposed system consists of three stages. An Intrusion Detection System is initially used to check whether there is an attack or not by comparing the IP address in …the Blacklist IP Database. If an attack occurs, the IP address will be added to the Blacklist IP database and blocked. The second stage uses Bi-directional LSTM and Bi-directional GRU to check the anomalous and signature attack. In the third stage, classified output is sent to reinforcement learning, if any attack occurs the IP address is added to the blacklist IP database otherwise the packets are forwarded to the user. The proposed ADAPT technique achieves a higher accuracy range than existing techniques. Show more

Abstract: The rapid advancement of communication and information technology has led to the expansion and blossoming of digital music. Recently, music feature extraction and classification have emerged as a research hotspot due to the difficulty of quickly and accurately retrieving the music that consumers are looking for from a large volume of music repositories. Traditional approaches to music classification rely heavily on a wide variety of synthetically produced aural features. In this research, we propose a novel approach to selecting the musical genre from user playlists by using a classification and feature selection machine learning model. To filter, normalise, and eliminate …missing variables, we collect information on the playlist’s music genre and user history. The characteristics of this data are then selected using a convolutional belief transfer Gaussian model (CBTG) and a fuzzy recurrent adversarial encoder neural network (FRAENN). The experimental examination of a number of music genre selection datasets includes measures of training accuracy, mean average precision, F-1 score, root mean squared error (RMSE), and area under the curve (AUC). Results show that this model can both create a respectable classification result and extract valuable feature representation of songs using a wide variety of criteria. Show more

Abstract: Globally, the two main causes of young people dying are mental health issues and suicide. A mental health issue is a condition of physiological disorder that inhibits with the vital process of the brain. The amount of individuals with psychiatric illnesses has considerably increased during the past several years. The majority of individuals with mental disorders reside in India. The mental illness can have an impact on a person’s health, thoughts, behaviour, or feelings. The capacity of controlling one’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviour might help an individual to deal with challenging circumstances, build relationships with others, and navigate life’s problems. …With a primary focus on the healthcare domain and human-computer interaction, the capacity to recognize human emotions via physiological and facial expressions opens up important research ideas as well as application-oriented potential. Affective computing has recently become one of the areas of study that has received the greatest interest from professionals and academics in a variety of sectors. Nevertheless, despite the rise in articles published, the reviews of a particular aspect of affective computing in mental health still are limited and have certain inadequacies. As a result, a literature survey on the use of affective computing in India to make decisions about mental health issues is discussed. As a result, the paper focuses on how traditional techniques used to monitor and assess physiological data from humans by utilizing deep learning and machine learning approaches for humans’ affect recognition (AR) using Affective computing (AfC) which is a combination of computer science, AI, and cognitive science subjects (such as psychology and psychosocial).

Abstract: The maximization of lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is always made feasible by conserving energy and maintaining synchronization in the connectivity between its nodes. The selection of Cluster head (CH) methodology used during data dissemination process from the CH to the BS determines the energy conversation which is necessary for extending the network’s lifetime. Initially, the nodes are localized using Graphical Recurrent Neural Network. In this research, a hybrid monarchy butterfly and chicken swarm optimization based cluster head selection (HMB-CSO-CHS) method is used to enhance the lifespan of sensor networks. This suggested HMB-CSO-CHS Scheme uses the benefits of the …Hybrid Monarchy butterfly and chicken swarm optimization algorithm for the efficient selection of cluster heads by establishing reliable tradeoffs between their exploitation and exploration potentials with optimized convergence rate. The simulation-based investigation of the suggested HMB-CSO-CHS Scheme confirms its effectiveness in reducing the rate of mortality among the sensor nodes such that remarkable improvement in lifetime can be realized in the network When analyzing HMB-CSO-CHS method, it is noted that energy consumption and packet delivery ratio is completely reduced when comparing with existing methods.

Abstract: In the realm of Internet of Things (IoT) sensor data, missing patterns often occur due to sensor glitches and communication problems. Conventional missing data imputation methods struggle to handle multiple missing patterns, as they fail to fully leverage the available data as well as partially imputed data. To address this challenge, we propose a novel approach called Univariate data Imputation using Fast Similarity Search (UIFSS). The proposed method solved the missing data problem of IoT data using fast similarity search that can suits different patterns of missingness. Exploring similarities between data elements, a problem known as all-pairs-similarity-search, has been extensively …studied in fields like text analysis. Surprisingly, applying this concept to time series subsequences hasn’t seen much progress, likely due to the complexity of the task. Even for moderately sized datasets, the traditional approach can take a long time, and common techniques to speed it up only help a bit. Notably, for very large datasets, our algorithm can be easily adapted to produce high-quality approximate results quickly. UIFSS consists of two core components:Sensor sorting with Similar Node Clustering (SSNC) and Imputation Estimator using Fast Similarity Search(IEFSS). The SSNC, encompassing missing sensor sorting depending on their entropy to guide the imputation process. Subsequently, IEFSS uses global similar sensors and captures local region volatility, prioritizing data preservation while improving accuracy through z-normalized query based similarity search. Through experiments on simulated and bench mark datasets, UIFSS outperforms existing methods across various missing patterns. This approach offers a promising solution for handling missing IoT sensor data and with improved imputation accuracy. Show more

Abstract: A unique system that offers traffic management, mobility management, and proactive vulnerability identification is the vehicular ad hoc network (VANET). With the use of efficient deep learning algorithms, intrusion prevention practices can improve their reliability. Many assaults, like Sybil, Blackhole, Wormhole, DoS attack, etc. expose them to risk. These intrusions compromise efficiency and dependability by taking advantage of network connectivity. The use of amazingly precise learning models to anticipate a variety of threats in VANET has not yet been thoroughly explored. To categorize numerous attacks on the VANET scenario, we develop a novel efficient integrated Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) …paradigm. The system employs the Panthera Leo Hunting Optimization (PLHO) method to modify the hyper-parameters of the systems to enhance the LSTM model’s detection rate under different threat situations. SUMO-OMNET++and Veins, two well-known modeling programs were utilized to gather the various VANET variables for both normal and malicious scenarios. The improved LSTM model was evaluated using actual information that had been recorded. The outcomes from the various learning models were merged with performance measures to show the algorithm’s efficiency and individuality. As the space between nearer vehicles reduces abruptly, a collision happens. So, to provide a realistic collision prevention system, it is necessary to collect exact and detailed information on the distance between every vehicle and all of the nearby vehicles. We suggest using a Carbon Nanotube Network (CNT) combined with the other Nanodevices to achieve reliability on the scale of millimeters. Modeling findings that the proposed novel approach succeeded with strong recognition capabilities. Show more

Abstract: Opinion Mining and Sentiment Analysis acts as a pivotal role in facilitating businesses to actively operate on enhancing the business strategies and accomplish detailed insights of the consumer’s feedback regarding the products. In recent times, deep learning (DL)technique has been used for many sentiment analysis tasks and has attained effective outcomes. Huge quantity of product reviews is being posted by the customer on different e-commerce and social networking platforms which can assist the developers to improve the quality of the products. The study focuses on the design of Sentiment Classification on Online Product Reviews using Dwarf Mongoose Optimization with Attention …based Deep Learning (DMO-ABDL) model. The proposed DMO-ABDL technique analyzes the product reviews for the identification of sentiments. To accomplish this, the DMO-ABDL technique performs different stages of preprocessing to transform the actual data into suitable format. Furthermore, the Glove technique is employed for word embedding process. Moreover, attention based long short-term memory (ALSTM) approach was exploited for sentiment classification and its hyperparameters can be optimally chosen by the DMO technique. A comprehensive set of experiments were performed in order to guarantee the enhanced sentiment classification performance of the DMO-ABDL algorithm. A brief comparative study highlighted the supremacy of the DMO-ABDL technique over other existing approaches under different measures. Show more

Abstract: Growing older is a phenomenon that is associated with increasingly complex health situations as a result of the coexistence of several chronic diseases. As a result, there is a downward tendency in both older people and their caretakers’ quality of life, which frequently results in frailty. There are numerous solutions available to treat the issue, which primarily affects older people. The basic and most popular imaging method for predicting cognitive impairment is magnetic resonance imaging. Furthermore, few of the earlier models had a definite level of accuracy when diagnosing the condition. Further, there is a critical need to put in …place a stronger, more reliable approach to precise prediction. When compared to other procedures, using magnetic resonance images to predict cognitive decline is the safest and most straightforward. The advanced concept for a better optimized strategy to predict cognitive impairment at an early stage is presented in this research. The hybrid krill herd and grey wolf optimization method is offered as a solution to address the challenges in locating the impacted area. In a short amount of time, a significant number of MRI images are analyzed, and the results show a more precise or higher rate of recognition. Show more
