Abstract Customer churn is the rate at which customers discontinue doing business with a company over a given time period. It is an essential measure for businesses to monitor high churn rates, as they often indicate underlying issues with services, products, or customer experience, resulting in considerable income loss. Prediction of customer churn is a crucial task aimed at retaining customers and maintaining revenue growth. Traditional machine learning (ML) models often struggle to capture complex temporal dependencies in client behavior data. To address this, an optimized deep learning (DL) approach using a Regularized Bidirectional Long Short-Term… More >

Abstract Although digital changes in power systems have added more ways to monitor and control them, these changes have also led to new cyber-attack risks, mainly from False Data Injection (FDI) attacks. If this happens, the sensors and operations are compromised, which can lead to big problems, disruptions, failures and blackouts. In response to this challenge, this paper presents a reliable and innovative detection framework that leverages Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) networks and employs explanatory methods from Artificial Intelligence (AI). Not only does the suggested architecture detect potential fraud with high accuracy, but it also… More >

Abstract Over the past few years, Malware attacks have become more and more widespread, posing threats to digital assets throughout the world. Although numerous methods have been developed to detect malicious attacks, these malware detection techniques need to be more efficient in detecting new and progressively sophisticated variants of malware. Therefore, the development of more advanced and accurate techniques is necessary for malware detection. This paper introduces a comprehensive Dual-Channel Attention Deep Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (DCA-DBiLSTM) model for malware detection and risk mitigation. The Dual Channel Attention (DCA) mechanism improves the model’s capability to concentrate… More >

Abstract Responding to the stochasticity and uncertainty in the power height of distributed photovoltaic power generation. This paper presents a distributed photovoltaic ultra-short-term power forecasting method based on Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) and Channel Attention Mechanism. First, Pearson’s correlation coefficient was utilized to filter out the meteorological factors that had a high impact on historical power. Second, the distributed PV power data were decomposed into a relatively smooth power series with different fluctuation patterns using variational modal decomposition (VMD). Finally, the reconstructed distributed PV power as well as other features are input into the combined CNN-SENet-BiLSTM… More >

Abstract The remaining useful life prediction of rolling bearing is vital in safety and reliability guarantee. In engineering scenarios, only a small amount of bearing performance degradation data can be obtained through accelerated life testing. In the absence of lifetime data, the hidden long-term correlation between performance degradation data is challenging to mine effectively, which is the main factor that restricts the prediction precision and engineering application of the residual life prediction method. To address this problem, a novel method based on the multi-layer perception neural network and bidirectional long short-term memory network is proposed. Firstly,… More >

Abstract To enhance the refinement of load decomposition in power systems and fully leverage seasonal change information to further improve prediction performance, this paper proposes a seasonal short-term load combination prediction model based on modal decomposition and a feature-fusion multi-algorithm hybrid neural network model. Specifically, the characteristics of load components are analyzed for different seasons, and the corresponding models are established. First, the improved complete ensemble empirical modal decomposition with adaptive noise (ICEEMDAN) method is employed to decompose the system load for all four seasons, and the new sequence is obtained through reconstruction based on the… More >

Abstract The identification of individuals through ear images is a prominent area of study in the biometric sector. Facial recognition systems have faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic due to mask-wearing, prompting the exploration of supplementary biometric measures such as ear biometrics. The research proposes a Deep Learning (DL) framework, termed DeepBio, using ear biometrics for human identification. It employs two DL models and five datasets, including IIT Delhi (IITD-I and IITD-II), annotated web images (AWI), mathematical analysis of images (AMI), and EARVN1.

Abstract Nowadays, with the rapid development of industrial Internet technology, on the one hand, advanced industrial control systems (ICS) have improved industrial production efficiency. However, there are more and more cyber-attacks targeting industrial control systems. To ensure the security of industrial networks, intrusion detection systems have been widely used in industrial control systems, and deep neural networks have always been an effective method for identifying cyber attacks. Current intrusion detection methods still suffer from low accuracy and a high false alarm rate. Therefore, it is important to build a more efficient intrusion detection model. This paper… More >

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… More >
