Abstract The amalgamation of artificial intelligence (AI) with various areas has been in the picture for the past few years. AI has enhanced the functioning of several services, such as accomplishing better budgets, automating multiple tasks, and data-driven decision-making. Conducting hassle-free polling has been one of them. However, at the onset of the coronavirus in 2020, almost all worldly affairs occurred online, and many sectors switched to digital mode. This allows attackers to find security loopholes in digital systems and exploit them for their lucrative business. This paper proposes a three-layered deep learning (DL)-based authentication framework to develop a secure online… More >

Abstract Cross-project software defect prediction (CPDP) aims to enhance defect prediction in target projects with limited or no historical data by leveraging information from related source projects. The existing CPDP approaches rely on static metrics or dynamic syntactic features, which have shown limited effectiveness in CPDP due to their inability to capture higher-level system properties, such as complex design patterns, relationships between multiple functions, and dependencies in different software projects, that are important for CPDP. This paper introduces a novel approach, a graph-based feature learning model for CPDP (GB-CPDP), that utilizes NetworkX to extract features and learn representations of program entities… More >

Abstract Action recognition and detection is an important research topic in computer vision, which can be divided into action recognition and action detection. At present, the distinction between action recognition and action detection is not clear, and the relevant reviews are not comprehensive. Thus, this paper summarized the action recognition and detection methods and datasets based on deep learning to accurately present the research status in this field. Firstly, according to the way that temporal and spatial features are extracted from the model, the commonly used models of action recognition are divided into the two stream models, the temporal models, the… More >

Abstract Pavement crack detection plays a crucial role in ensuring road safety and reducing maintenance expenses. Recent advancements in deep learning (DL) techniques have shown promising results in detecting pavement cracks; however, the selection of relevant features for classification remains challenging. In this study, we propose a new approach for pavement crack detection that integrates deep learning for feature extraction, the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) for feature selection, and random forest (RF) for classification. The performance of the models was evaluated using accuracy, recall, precision, F1 score, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Our findings reveal that Model… More >

Abstract Smart Agriculture, also known as Agricultural 5.0, is expected to be an integral part of our human lives to reduce the cost of agricultural inputs, increasing productivity and improving the quality of the final product. Indeed, the safety and ongoing maintenance of Smart Agriculture from cyber-attacks are vitally important. To provide more comprehensive protection against potential cyber-attacks, this paper proposes a new deep learning-based intrusion detection system for securing Smart Agriculture. The proposed Intrusion Detection System IDS, namely GMLP-IDS, combines the feedforward neural network Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) that can better protect the Smart Agriculture… More >

Abstract Cartoons serve as significant sources of entertainment for children and adolescents. However, numerous animated videos contain unsuitable content, such as violence, eroticism, abuse, and vehicular accidents. Current content detection methods rely on manual inspection, which is resource-intensive, time-consuming, and not always reliable. Therefore, more efficient detection methods are necessary to safeguard young viewers. This paper addresses this significant problem by proposing a novel deep learning-based system, AnimeNet, designed to detect varying degrees of violent and erotic content in videos. AnimeNet utilizes a novel Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model to extract image features effectively, classifying violent and erotic scenes in videos… More >

Abstract According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Brain Tumors (BrT) have a high rate of mortality across the world. The mortality rate, however, decreases with early diagnosis. Brain images, Computed Tomography (CT) scans, Magnetic Resonance Imaging scans (MRIs), segmentation, analysis, and evaluation make up the critical tools and steps used to diagnose brain cancer in its early stages. For physicians, diagnosis can be challenging and time-consuming, especially for those with little expertise. As technology advances, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been used in various domains as a diagnostic tool and offers promising outcomes. Deep-learning techniques are especially useful and have achieved… More >

Abstract Smoking has an economic and environmental impact on society due to the toxic substances it emits. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) need help describing low-level features and can miss important information. Moreover, accurate smoker detection is vital with minimum false alarms. To answer the issue, the researchers of this paper have turned to a self-attention mechanism inspired by the ViT, which has displayed state-of-the-art performance in the classification task. To effectively enforce the smoking prohibition in non-smoking locations, this work presents a Vision Transformer-inspired model called SmokerViT for detecting smokers. Moreover, this research utilizes a locally curated dataset of 1120 images… More >
