Abstract Effectively handling imbalanced datasets remains a fundamental challenge in computational modeling and machine learning, particularly when class overlap significantly deteriorates classification performance. Traditional oversampling methods often generate synthetic samples without considering density variations, leading to redundant or misleading instances that exacerbate class overlap in high-density regions. To address these limitations, we propose Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network Variational Density Estimation WGAN-VDE, a computationally efficient density-aware adversarial resampling framework that enhances minority class representation while strategically reducing class overlap. The originality of WGAN-VDE lies in its density-aware sample refinement, ensuring that synthetic samples are positioned in underrepresented More >

Abstract Deep neural networks remain susceptible to adversarial examples, where the goal of an adversarial attack is to introduce small perturbations to the original examples in order to confuse the model without being easily detected. Although many adversarial attack methods produce adversarial examples that have achieved great results in the white-box setting, they exhibit low transferability in the black-box setting. In order to improve the transferability along the baseline of the gradient-based attack technique, we present a novel Stochastic Gradient Accumulation Momentum Iterative Attack (SAMI-FGSM) in this study. In particular, during each iteration, the gradient information More >

Abstract Sonic Hedgehog Medulloblastoma (SHH-MB) is one of the four primary molecular subgroups of Medulloblastoma. It is estimated to be responsible for nearly one-third of all MB cases. Using transcriptomic and DNA methylation profiling techniques, new developments in this field determined four molecular subtypes for SHH-MB. SHH-MB subtypes show distinct DNA methylation patterns that allow their discrimination from overlapping subtypes and predict clinical outcomes. Class overlapping occurs when two or more classes share common features, making it difficult to distinguish them as separate. Using the DNA methylation dataset, a novel classification technique is presented to address… More >

Abstract With the rapid expansion of multimedia data, protecting digital information has become increasingly critical. Reversible data hiding offers an effective solution by allowing sensitive information to be embedded in multimedia files while enabling full recovery of the original data after extraction. Audio, as a vital medium in communication, entertainment, and information sharing, demands the same level of security as images. However, embedding data in encrypted audio poses unique challenges due to the trade-offs between security, data integrity, and embedding capacity. This paper presents a novel interpolation-based reversible data hiding algorithm for encrypted audio that achieves… More >

Abstract The rising prevalence of diabetes in modern society underscores the urgent need for precise and efficient diagnostic tools to support early intervention and treatment. However, the inherent limitations of existing datasets, including significant class imbalances and inadequate sample diversity, pose challenges to the accurate prediction and classification of diabetes. Addressing these issues, this study proposes an innovative diabetes prediction framework that integrates a hybrid Convolutional Neural Network-Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (CNN-BiGRU) model for classification with Adaptive Synthetic Sampling (ADASYN) for data augmentation. ADASYN was employed to generate synthetic yet representative data samples, effectively mitigating class… More >

Abstract Imbalanced multiclass datasets pose challenges for machine learning algorithms. They often contain minority classes that are important for accurate predictions. However, when the data is sparsely distributed and overlaps with data points from other classes, it introduces noise. As a result, existing resampling methods may fail to preserve the original data patterns, further disrupting data quality and reducing model performance. This paper introduces Neighbor Displacement-based Enhanced Synthetic Oversampling (NDESO), a hybrid method that integrates a data displacement strategy with a resampling technique to achieve data balance. It begins by computing the average distance of noisy… More >

Abstract Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are common network attacks that primarily target Internet of Things (IoT) devices. They are critical for emerging wireless services, especially for applications with limited latency. DDoS attacks pose significant risks to entrepreneurial businesses, preventing legitimate customers from accessing their websites. These attacks require intelligent analytics before processing service requests. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks exploit vulnerabilities in IoT devices by launching multi-point distributed attacks. These attacks generate massive traffic that overwhelms the victim’s network, disrupting normal operations. The consequences of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are typically… More >

Abstract When dealing with imbalanced datasets, the traditional support vector machine (SVM) tends to produce a classification hyperplane that is biased towards the majority class, which exhibits poor robustness. This paper proposes a high-performance classification algorithm specifically designed for imbalanced datasets. The proposed method first uses a biased second-order cone programming support vector machine (B-SOCP-SVM) to identify the support vectors (SVs) and non-support vectors (NSVs) in the imbalanced data. Then, it applies the synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SV-SMOTE) to oversample the support vectors of the minority class and uses the random under-sampling technique (NSV-RUS) multiple times More >

Abstract The Quadric Error Metrics (QEM) algorithm is a widely used method for mesh simplification; however, it often struggles to preserve high-frequency geometric details, leading to the loss of salient features. To address this limitation, we propose the Salient Feature Sampling Points-based QEM (SFSP-QEM)—also referred to as the Deep Learning-Based Salient Feature-Preserving Algorithm for Mesh Simplification—which incorporates a Salient Feature-Preserving Point Sampler (SFSP). This module leverages deep learning techniques to prioritize the preservation of key geometric features during simplification. Experimental results demonstrate that SFSP-QEM significantly outperforms traditional QEM in preserving geometric details. Specifically, for general models… More >
