Abstract In the fast-evolving landscape of digital networks, the incidence of network intrusions has escalated alarmingly. Simultaneously, the crucial role of time series data in intrusion detection remains largely underappreciated, with most systems failing to capture the time-bound nuances of network traffic. This leads to compromised detection accuracy and overlooked temporal patterns. Addressing this gap, we introduce a novel SSAE-TCN-BiLSTM (STL) model that integrates time series analysis, significantly enhancing detection capabilities. Our approach reduces feature dimensionality with a Stacked Sparse Autoencoder (SSAE) and extracts temporally relevant features through a Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) and Bidirectional Long Short-term Memory Network (Bi-LSTM).

Abstract Healthcare organizations rely on patients’ feedback and experiences to evaluate their performance and services, thereby allowing such organizations to improve inadequate services and address any shortcomings. According to the literature, social networks and particularly Twitter are effective platforms for gathering public opinions. Moreover, recent studies have used natural language processing to measure sentiments in text segments collected from Twitter to capture public opinions about various sectors, including healthcare. The present study aimed to analyze Arabic Twitter-based patient experience sentiments and to introduce an Arabic patient experience corpus. The authors collected 12,400 tweets from Arabic patients discussing patient experiences related to… More >

Abstract Wind and solar energy are two popular forms of renewable energy used in microgrids and facilitating the transition towards net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. However, they are exceedingly unpredictable since they rely highly on weather and atmospheric conditions. In microgrids, smart energy management systems, such as integrated demand response programs, are permanently established on a step-ahead basis, which means that accurate forecasting of wind speed and solar irradiance intervals is becoming increasingly crucial to the optimal operation and planning of microgrids. With this in mind, a novel “bidirectional long short-term memory network” (Bi-LSTM)-based, deep stacked, sequence-to-sequence autoencoder (S2SAE) forecasting model… More >

Abstract Nowadays, web systems and servers are constantly at great risk from cyberattacks. This paper proposes a novel approach to detecting abnormal network traffic using a bidirectional long short-term memory (LSTM) network in combination with the ensemble learning technique. First, the binary classification module was used to detect the current abnormal flow. Then, the abnormal flows were fed into the multilayer classification module to identify the specific type of flow. In this research, a deep learning bidirectional LSTM model, in combination with the convolutional neural network and attention technique, was deployed to identify a specific attack. To solve the real-time intrusion-detecting… More >

Abstract With the recent developments in the Internet of Things (IoT), the amount of data collected has expanded tremendously, resulting in a higher demand for data storage, computational capacity, and real-time processing capabilities. Cloud computing has traditionally played an important role in establishing IoT. However, fog computing has recently emerged as a new field complementing cloud computing due to its enhanced mobility, location awareness, heterogeneity, scalability, low latency, and geographic distribution. However, IoT networks are vulnerable to unwanted assaults because of their open and shared nature. As a result, various fog computing-based security models that protect IoT networks have been developed.… More >

Abstract Continuous sign language recognition (CSLR) is challenging due to the complexity of video background, hand gesture variability, and temporal modeling difficulties. This work proposes a CSLR method based on a spatial-temporal graph attention network to focus on essential features of video series. The method considers local details of sign language movements by taking the information on joints and bones as inputs and constructing a spatial-temporal graph to reflect inter-frame relevance and physical connections between nodes. The graph-based multi-head attention mechanism is utilized with adjacent matrix calculation for better local-feature exploration, and short-term motion correlation modeling is completed via a temporal… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Identifying and classifying Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) sequences and their functions have been considered as the main challenges in bioinformatics. Advances in machine learning and Deep Learning (DL) techniques are expected to improve DNA sequence classification. Since the DNA sequence classification depends on analyzing textual data, Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BLSTM) algorithms are suitable for tackling this task. Generally, classifiers depend on the patterns to be processed and the pre-processing method. This paper is concerned with a new proposed classification framework based on Frequency Chaos Game Representation (FCGR) followed by Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and BLSTM. Firstly, DNA strings are transformed… More >
