Abstract This study focuses on the design and validation of a behavior classification system for cattle using behavioral data collected through accelerometer sensors. Data collection and behavioral analysis are achieved using machine learning (ML) algorithms through accelerometer sensors. However, behavioral analysis poses challenges due to the complexity of cow activities. The task becomes more challenging in a real-time behavioral analysis system with the requirement for shorter data windows and energy constraints. Shorter windows may lack sufficient information, reducing algorithm performance. Additionally, the sensor’s position on the cows may shift during practical use, altering the collected accelerometer… More >

Abstract Managing sensitive data in dynamic and high-stakes environments, such as healthcare, requires access control frameworks that offer real-time adaptability, scalability, and regulatory compliance. BIG-ABAC introduces a transformative approach to Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) by integrating real-time policy evaluation and contextual adaptation. Unlike traditional ABAC systems that rely on static policies, BIG-ABAC dynamically updates policies in response to evolving rules and real-time contextual attributes, ensuring precise and efficient access control. Leveraging decision trees evaluated in real-time, BIG-ABAC overcomes the limitations of conventional access control models, enabling seamless adaptation to complex, high-demand scenarios. The framework adheres to the… More >

Abstract Machine learning has emerged as a pivotal tool in deciphering and managing this excess of information in an era of abundant data. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of machine learning algorithms, focusing on the structure and efficacy of random forests in mitigating overfitting—a prevalent issue in decision tree models. It also introduces a novel approach to enhancing decision tree performance through an optimized pruning method called Adaptive Cross-Validated Alpha CCP (ACV-CCP). This method refines traditional cost complexity pruning by streamlining the selection of the alpha parameter, leveraging cross-validation within the pruning process to achieve More >

Abstract Business Analytics is one of the vital processes that must be incorporated into any business. It supports decision-makers in analyzing and predicting future trends based on facts (Data-driven decisions), especially when dealing with a massive amount of business data. Decision Trees are essential for business analytics to predict business opportunities and future trends that can retain corporations’ competitive advantage and survival and improve their business value. This research proposes a tree-based predictive model for business analytics. The model is developed based on ranking business features and gradient-boosted trees. For validation purposes, the model is tested More >

Abstract Software-defined network (SDN) becomes a new revolutionary paradigm in networks because it provides more control and network operation over a network infrastructure. The SDN controller is considered as the operating system of the SDN based network infrastructure, and it is responsible for executing the different network applications and maintaining the network services and functionalities. Despite all its tremendous capabilities, the SDN face many security issues due to the complexity of the SDN architecture. Distributed denial of services (DDoS) is a common attack on SDN due to its centralized architecture, especially at the control layer of… More >

Abstract Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes mellitus that appears in the retina. Clinitians use retina images to detect DR pathological signs related to the occlusion of tiny blood vessels. Such occlusion brings a degenerative cycle between the breaking off and the new generation of thinner and weaker blood vessels. This research aims to develop a suitable retinal vasculature segmentation method for improving retinal screening procedures by means of computer-aided diagnosis systems. The blood vessel segmentation methodology relies on an effective feature selection based on Sequential Forward Selection, using the error rate of a… More >

Abstract English teaching has always attracted much attention. However, the processes of its transmission and acquirement is often divided into two separate parts, which seriously hinders the effective implementation of its objectives. Teachers attach particular importance to the choice of the curriculum structure and teaching material. Students are busy comprehending the assignments their teachers deem important. Under such a scenario, the effective acquisition of knowledge and the development of sustainable comprehensive abilities are ignored. The random forest algorithm in machine learning applications could play important role improving on the current English teaching system. A random forest… More >

Abstract Diabetes mellitus, generally known as diabetes, is one of the most common diseases worldwide. It is a metabolic disease characterized by insulin deficiency, or glucose (blood sugar) levels that exceed 200 mg/dL (11.1 ml/L) for prolonged periods, and may lead to death if left uncontrolled by medication or insulin injections. Diabetes is categorized into two main types—type 1 and type 2—both of which feature glucose levels above “normal,” defined as 140 mg/dL. Diabetes is triggered by malfunction of the pancreas, which releases insulin, a natural hormone responsible for controlling glucose levels in blood cells. Diagnosis… More >
