Abstract The rapid advancement of IT technology has enabled the quick discovery, sharing and collection of quality information, but has also increased cyberattacks at a fast pace at the same time. There exists no means to block these cyberattacks completely, and all security policies need to consider the possibility of external attacks. Therefore, it is crucial to reduce external attacks through preventative measures. In general, since routers located in the upper part of a firewall can hardly be protected by security systems, they are exposed to numerous unblocked cyberattacks. Routers block unnecessary services and accept necessary… More >

Abstract The rapid progress of the Internet has exposed networks to an increased number of threats. Intrusion detection technology can effectively protect network security against malicious attacks. In this paper, we propose a ReliefF-P-Naive Bayes and softmax regression (RP-NBSR) model based on machine learning for network attack detection to improve the false detection rate and F1 score of unknown intrusion behavior. In the proposed model, the Pearson correlation coefficient is introduced to compensate for deficiencies in correlation analysis between features by the ReliefF feature selection algorithm, and a ReliefF-Pearson correlation coefficient (ReliefF-P) algorithm is proposed. Then, More >

Abstract In recent years, the application of a smart city in the healthcare sector via loT systems has continued to grow exponentially and various advanced network intrusions have emerged since these loT devices are being connected. Previous studies focused on security threat detection and blocking technologies that rely on testbed data obtained from a single medical IoT device or simulation using a well-known dataset, such as the NSL-KDD dataset. However, such approaches do not reflect the features that exist in real medical scenarios, leading to failure in potential threat detection. To address this problem, we proposed… More >

Abstract After the digital revolution, large quantities of data have been generated with time through various networks. The networks have made the process of data analysis very difficult by detecting attacks using suitable techniques. While Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) secure resources against threats, they still face challenges in improving detection accuracy, reducing false alarm rates, and detecting the unknown ones. This paper presents a framework to integrate data mining classification algorithms and association rules to implement network intrusion detection. Several experiments have been performed and evaluated to assess various machine learning classifiers based on the KDD99… More >

Abstract The demand for defect diagnoses is gradually gaining ground owing to the growing necessity to implement safe inspection methods to ensure the durability and quality of structures. However, conventional manpower-based inspection methods not only incur considerable cost and time, but also cause frequent disputes regarding defects owing to poor inspections. Therefore, the demand for an effective and efficient defect-diagnosis model for concrete structures is imminent, as the reduction in maintenance costs is significant from a long-term perspective. Thus, this paper proposes a deep learning-based image object-identification method to detect the defects of paint peeling, leakage… More >

Abstract Image segmentation is a crucial stage in the investigation of medical images and is predominantly implemented in various medical applications. In the case of investigating MRI brain images, the image segmentation is mainly employed to measure and visualize the anatomic structure of the brain that underwent modifications to delineate the regions. At present, distinct segmentation approaches with various degrees of accurateness and complexities are available. But, it needs tuning of various parameters to obtain optimal results. The tuning of parameters can be considered as an optimization issue using a similarity function in solution space. This… More >

Abstract Undoubtedly, uncooperative or malicious nodes threaten the safety of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) by destroying routing or data. To this end, some researchers have designed some node detection mechanisms and trust calculating algorithms based on some different feature parameters of IoV such as communication, data, energy, etc., to detect and evaluate vehicle nodes. However, it is difficult to effectively assess the trust level of a vehicle node only by message forwarding, data consistency, and energy sufficiency. In order to resolve these problems, a novel mechanism and a new trust calculating model is proposed in this… More >

Abstract The crack is a common pavement failure problem. A lack of periodic maintenance will result in extending the cracks and damage the pavement, which will affect the normal use of the road. Therefore, it is significant to establish an efficient intelligent identification model for pavement cracks. The neural network is a method of simulating animal nervous systems using gradient descent to predict results by learning a weight matrix. It has been widely used in geotechnical engineering, computer vision, medicine, and other fields. However, there are three major problems in the application of neural networks to… More >

Abstract Coal rock mass instability fracture may result in serious hazards to underground coal mining. Acoustic emissions (AE) stimulated by internal structure fracture should carry lots of favorable information about health condition of rock mass. AE as a sensitive non-destructive test method is gradually utilized to detect anomaly conditions of coal rock. This paper proposes an improved multi-resolution feature to extract AE waveform at different frequency resolutions using Coilflet Wavelet Transform method (CWT). It is further adopt an efficient Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) by several cascaded sub weak classifier models to merge AE features at More >

Abstract In view of the uncertainty of the status of primary users in cognitive networks and the fact that the random detection strategy cannot guarantee cognitive users to accurately find available channels, this paper proposes a joint random detection strategy using the idle cognitive users in cognitive wireless networks. After adding idle cognitive users for detection, the compressed sensing model is employed to describe the number of available channels obtained by the cognitive base station to derive the detection performance of the cognitive network at this time. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results show that using More >
