Abstract Structured Query Language (SQL) injection attacks have become the most common means of attacking Web applications due to their simple implementation and high degree of harm. Traditional injection attack detection techniques struggle to accurately identify various types of SQL injection attacks. This paper presents an enhanced SQL injection detection method that utilizes content matching technology to improve the accuracy and efficiency of detection. Features are extracted through content matching, effectively avoiding the loss of valid information, and an improved deep learning model is employed to enhance the detection effect of SQL injections.

Abstract The 3GPP standard defines the requirements for next-generation wireless networks, with particular attention to Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC), critical for applications such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). In this context, Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) has emerged as a promising technique to improve spectrum efficiency and user fairness by allowing multiple users to share the same frequency resources. However, optimizing key parameters–such as beamforming, rate allocation, and UAV trajectory–presents significant challenges due to the nonconvex nature of the problem, especially under stringent URLLC constraints. This paper proposes an advanced deep learning-driven approach to address the resulting… More >

Abstract Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is characterized by overgrowth of immature lymphoid cells in the bone marrow at the expense of normal hematopoiesis. One of the most prioritized tasks is the early and correct diagnosis of this malignancy; however, manual observation of the blood smear is very time-consuming and requires labor and expertise. Transfer learning in deep neural networks is of growing importance to intricate medical tasks such as medical imaging. Our work proposes an application of a novel ensemble architecture that puts together Vision Transformer and EfficientNetV2. This approach fuses deep and spatial features to… More >

Abstract The consultation intention of emergency decision-makers in urban rail transit (URT) is input into the emergency knowledge base in the form of domain questions to obtain emergency decision support services. This approach facilitates the rapid collection of complete knowledge and rules to form effective decisions. However, the current structured degree of the URT emergency knowledge base remains low, and the domain questions lack labeled datasets, resulting in a large deviation between the consultation outcomes and the intended objectives. To address this issue, this paper proposes a question intention recognition model for the URT emergency domain,… More >

Abstract Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) images, popularly used in the field of digital pathology, often pose challenges due to their limited color richness, hindering the differentiation of subtle cell features crucial for accurate classification. Enhancing the visibility of these elusive cell features helps train robust deep-learning models. However, the selection and application of image processing techniques for such enhancement have not been systematically explored in the research community. To address this challenge, we introduce Salient Features Guided Augmentation (SFGA), an approach that strategically integrates machine learning and image processing. SFGA utilizes machine learning algorithms to identify… More >

Abstract The potential applications of multimodal physiological signals in healthcare, pain monitoring, and clinical decision support systems have garnered significant attention in biomedical research. Subjective self-reporting is the foundation of conventional pain assessment methods, which may be unreliable. Deep learning is a promising alternative to resolve this limitation through automated pain classification. This paper proposes an ensemble deep-learning framework for pain assessment. The framework makes use of features collected from electromyography (EMG), skin conductance level (SCL), and electrocardiography (ECG) signals. We integrate Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Long Short-Term Memory Networks (LSTM), Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Units (BiGRU),… More >
