Abstract Social bots are automated programs designed to spread rumors and misinformation, posing significant threats to online security. Existing research shows that the structure of a social network significantly affects the behavioral patterns of social bots: a higher number of connected components weakens their collaborative capabilities, thereby reducing their proportion within the overall network. However, current social bot detection methods still make limited use of topological features. Furthermore, both graph neural network (GNN)-based methods that rely on local features and those that leverage global features suffer from their own limitations, and existing studies lack an effective… More >

Abstract Earthquakes are highly destructive spatio-temporal phenomena whose analysis is essential for disaster preparedness and risk mitigation. Modern seismological research produces vast volumes of heterogeneous data from seismic networks, satellite observations, and geospatial repositories, creating the need for scalable infrastructures capable of integrating and analyzing such data to support intelligent decision-making. Data warehousing technologies provide a robust foundation for this purpose; however, existing earthquake-oriented data warehouses remain limited, often relying on simplified schemas, domain-specific analytics, or cataloguing efforts. This paper presents the design and implementation of a spatio-temporal data warehouse for seismic activity. The framework integrates… More >

Abstract The structure particulars of amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5 thermally evaporated on glass substrates, as well as films annealed at temperatures of 500 and 700 K have been studied by the considering of experimentally established facts obtained from X-ray analysis and Raman spectroscopy measurements. The Debye-Scherrer and Williams-Hall methods were applied to the X-ray diffraction data for estimate the size of crystallites, interatomic distances, dislocation density and structure distortion degree. The features of heat treatment effect on numerical values of the above quantities at a given temperatures have been established. The analysis of the spectral distribution of Raman… More >

Abstract Parametric survival models are essential for analyzing time-to-event data in fields such as engineering and biomedicine. While the log-logistic distribution is popular for its simplicity and closed-form expressions, it often lacks the flexibility needed to capture complex hazard patterns. In this article, we propose a novel extension of the classical log-logistic distribution, termed the new exponential log-logistic (NExLL) distribution, designed to provide enhanced flexibility in modeling time-to-event data with complex failure behaviors. The NExLL model incorporates a new exponential generator to expand the shape adaptability of the baseline log-logistic distribution, allowing it to capture a… More >

Abstract The structural integrity monitoring of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes in landfill containment systems presents a critical engineering challenge due to the material’s vulnerability to mechanical degradation and the complex vibration propagation characteristics in large-scale installations. This study proposes a dual-stream deep learning framework that synergistically integrates raw vibration signal analysis with physics-guided feature extraction to achieve precise rupture detection and localization. The methodology employs a hierarchical neural architecture comprising two parallel branches: a 1D convolutional network processing raw accelerometer signals to capture multi-scale temporal patterns, and a physics-informed branch extracting material-specific resonance features through continuous More >

Abstract Improving early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children increasingly relies on predictive models that are reliable and accessible to non-experts. This study aims to develop such models using Python-based tools to improve ASD diagnosis in clinical settings. We performed exploratory data analysis to ensure data quality and identify key patterns in pediatric ASD data. We selected the categorical boosting (CatBoost) algorithm to effectively handle the large number of categorical variables. We used the PyCaret automated machine learning (AutoML) tool to make the models user-friendly for clinicians without extensive machine learning expertise. In addition,… More >

Abstract The accuracy and reliability of non-destructive testing (NDT) approaches in detecting interior corrosion problems are critical, yet research in this field is limited. This work describes a novel way to monitor the structural integrity of steel gas pipelines that uses advanced numerical modeling techniques to anticipate fracture development and corrosion effects. The objective is to increase pipeline dependability and safety through more precise, real-time health evaluations. Compared to previous approaches, our solution provides higher accuracy in fault detection and quantification, making it ideal for pipeline integrity monitoring in real-world applications. To solve this issue, statistical… More >

Abstract The analysis of Android malware shows that this threat is constantly increasing and is a real threat to mobile devices since traditional approaches, such as signature-based detection, are no longer effective due to the continuously advancing level of sophistication. To resolve this problem, efficient and flexible malware detection tools are needed. This work examines the possibility of employing deep CNNs to detect Android malware by transforming network traffic into image data representations. Moreover, the dataset used in this study is the CIC-AndMal2017, which contains 20,000 instances of network traffic across five distinct malware categories: a.… More >

Abstract In the Internet era, recommendation systems play a crucial role in helping users find relevant information from large datasets. Class imbalance is known to severely affect data quality, and therefore reduce the performance of recommendation systems. Due to the imbalance, machine learning algorithms tend to classify inputs into the positive (majority) class every time to achieve high prediction accuracy. Imbalance can be categorized such as by features and classes, but most studies consider only class imbalance. In this paper, we propose a recommendation system that can integrate multiple networks to adapt to a large number… More >
