Abstract The rapid advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) has heightened the importance of security, with a notable increase in Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks targeting IoT devices. Network security specialists face the challenge of producing systems to identify and offset these attacks. This research manages IoT security through the emerging Software-Defined Networking (SDN) standard by developing a unified framework (RNN-RYU). We thoroughly assess multiple deep learning frameworks, including Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Feed-Forward Convolutional Neural Network (FFCNN), and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), and present the novel usage of Synthetic Minority Over-Sampling More >

Abstract X (formerly known as Twitter) is one of the most prominent social media platforms, enabling users to share short messages (tweets) with the public or their followers. It serves various purposes, from real-time news dissemination and political discourse to trend spotting and consumer engagement. X has emerged as a key space for understanding shifting brand perceptions, consumer preferences, and product-related sentiment in the fashion industry. However, the platform’s informal, dynamic, and context-dependent language poses substantial challenges for sentiment analysis, mainly when attempting to detect sarcasm, slang, and nuanced emotional tones. This study introduces a hybrid… More >

Abstract Predicting player performance in sports is a critical challenge with significant implications for team success, fan engagement, and financial outcomes. Although, in Major League Baseball (MLB), statistical methodologies such as sabermetrics have been widely used, the dynamic nature of sports makes accurate performance prediction a difficult task. Enhanced forecasts can provide immense value to team managers by aiding strategic player contract and acquisition decisions. This study addresses this challenge by employing the temporal fusion transformer (TFT), an advanced and cutting-edge deep learning model for complex data, to predict pitchers’ earned run average (ERA), a key More >

Abstract Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) have been widely applied to deal with temporal problems, such as flood forecasting and financial data processing. On the one hand, traditional RNNs models amplify the gradient issue due to the strict time serial dependency, making it difficult to realize a long-term memory function. On the other hand, RNNs cells are highly complex, which will significantly increase computational complexity and cause waste of computational resources during model training. In this paper, an improved Time Feedforward Connections Recurrent Neural Networks (TFC-RNNs) model was first proposed to address the gradient issue. A parallel… More >
