Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO) refers to the 2019 new coronavirus epidemic as COVID-19, and it has caused an unprecedented global crisis for several nations. Nearly every country around the globe is now very concerned about the effects of the COVID-19 outbreaks, which were previously only experienced by Chinese residents. Most of these nations are now under a partial or complete state of lockdown due to the lack of resources needed to combat the COVID-19 epidemic and the concern about overstretched healthcare systems. Every time the pandemic surprises them by providing new values for various parameters, all the connected research… More >

Abstract The exponential growth of Internet and network usage has necessitated heightened security measures to protect against data and network breaches. Intrusions, executed through network packets, pose a significant challenge for firewalls to detect and prevent due to the similarity between legitimate and intrusion traffic. The vast network traffic volume also complicates most network monitoring systems and algorithms. Several intrusion detection methods have been proposed, with machine learning techniques regarded as promising for dealing with these incidents. This study presents an Intrusion Detection System Based on Stacking Ensemble Learning base (Random Forest, Decision Tree, and k-Nearest-Neighbors). The proposed system employs pre-processing… More >

Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an intensifying disorder that causes brain cells to degenerate early and destruct. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is one of the early signs of AD that interferes with people’s regular functioning and daily activities. The proposed work includes a deep learning approach with a multimodal recurrent neural network (RNN) to predict whether MCI leads to Alzheimer’s or not. The gated recurrent unit (GRU) RNN classifier is trained using individual and correlated features. Feature vectors are concatenated based on their correlation strength to improve prediction results. The feature vectors generated are given as the input to multiple different… More >

Abstract The medical community has more concern on lung cancer analysis. Medical experts’ physical segmentation of lung cancers is time-consuming and needs to be automated. The research study’s objective is to diagnose lung tumors at an early stage to extend the life of humans using deep learning techniques. Computer-Aided Diagnostic (CAD) system aids in the diagnosis and shortens the time necessary to detect the tumor detected. The application of Deep Neural Networks (DNN) has also been exhibited as an excellent and effective method in classification and segmentation tasks. This research aims to separate lung cancers from images of Magnetic Resonance Imaging… More >

Abstract The number of studies in the literature that diagnose cancer with machine learning using genome data is quite limited. These studies focus on the prediction performance, and the extraction of genomic factors that cause disease is often overlooked. However, finding underlying genetic causes is very important in terms of early diagnosis, development of diagnostic kits, preventive medicine, etc. The motivation of our study was to diagnose bladder cancer (BCa) based on genetic data and to reveal underlying genetic factors by using machine-learning models. In addition, conducting hyper-parameter optimization to get the best performance from different models, which is overlooked in… More >

Abstract Aiming at the problems of multiple types of power quality composite disturbances, strong feature correlation and high recognition error rate, a method of power quality composite disturbances identification based on multi-resolution S-transform and decision tree was proposed. Firstly, according to IEEE standard, the signal models of seven single power quality disturbances and 17 combined power quality disturbances are given, and the disturbance waveform samples are generated in batches. Then, in order to improve the recognition accuracy, the adjustment factor is introduced to obtain the controllable time-frequency resolution through multi-resolution S-transform time-frequency domain analysis. On this basis, five disturbance time-frequency domain… More >

Abstract Big data is usually unstructured, and many applications require the analysis in real-time. Decision tree (DT) algorithm is widely used to analyze big data. Selecting the optimal depth of DT is time-consuming process as it requires many iterations. In this paper, we have designed a modified version of a (DT). The tree aims to achieve optimal depth by self-tuning running parameters and improving the accuracy. The efficiency of the modified (DT) was verified using two datasets (airport and fire datasets). The airport dataset has 500000 instances and the fire dataset has 600000 instances. A comparison has been made between the… More >

Abstract The requirement of fault diagnosis in the field of automobiles is growing higher day by day. The reliability of human resources for the fault diagnosis is uncertain. Brakes are one of the major critical components in automobiles that require closer and active observation. This research work demonstrates a fault diagnosis technique for monitoring the hydraulic brake system using vibration analysis. Vibration signals of a rotating element contain dynamic information about its health condition. Hence, the vibration signals were used for the brake fault diagnosis study. The study was carried out on a brake fault diagnosis experimental setup. The vibration signals… More >

Abstract Sentiment Analysis (SA) is often referred to as opinion mining. It is defined as the extraction, identification, or characterization of the sentiment from text. Generally, the sentiment of a textual document is classified into binary classes i.e., positive and negative. However, fine-grained classification provides a better insight into the sentiments. The downside is that fine-grained classification is more challenging as compared to binary. On the contrary, performance deteriorates significantly in the case of multi-class classification. In this study, pre-processing techniques and machine learning models for the multi-class classification of sentiments were explored. To augment the performance, a multi-layer classification model… More >

Abstract In defense-in-depth, humans have always been the weakest link in cybersecurity. However, unlike common threats, social engineering poses vulnerabilities not directly quantifiable in penetration testing. Most skilled social engineers trick users into giving up information voluntarily through attacks like phishing and adware. Social Engineering (SE) in social media is structurally similar to regular posts but contains malicious intrinsic meaning within the sentence semantic. In this paper, a novel SE model is trained using a Recurrent Neural Network Long Short Term Memory (RNN-LSTM) to identify well-disguised SE threats in social media posts. We use a custom dataset crawled from hundreds of… More >
