Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is emerging as an innovative phenomenon concerned with the development of numerous vital applications. With the development of IoT devices, huge amounts of information, including users’ private data, are generated. IoT systems face major security and data privacy challenges owing to their integral features such as scalability, resource constraints, and heterogeneity. These challenges are intensified by the fact that IoT technology frequently gathers and conveys complex data, creating an attractive opportunity for cyberattacks. To address these challenges, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, such as machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL),… More >

Abstract Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, significantly impairing motor and cognitive functions. Effective rehabilitation is often hindered by the heterogeneity of stroke lesions, variability in recovery patterns, and the complexity of electroencephalography (EEG) signals, which are often contaminated by artifacts. Accurate classification of motor imagery (MI) tasks, involving the mental simulation of movements, is crucial for assessing rehabilitation strategies but is challenged by overlapping neural signatures and patient-specific variability. To address these challenges, this study introduces a graph-attentive convolutional long short-term memory (LSTM) network (GACL-Net), a novel hybrid deep learning model… More >

Abstract The migration of tasks aided by machine learning (ML) predictions IN (DPM) is a system-level design technique that is used to reduce energy by enhancing the overall performance of the processor. In this paper, we address the issue of system-level higher task dissipation during the execution of parallel workloads with common deadlines by introducing a machine learning-based framework that includes task migration using energy-efficient earliest deadline first scheduling (EA-EDF). ML-based EA-EDF enhances the overall throughput and optimizes the energy to avoid delay and performance degradation in a multiprocessor system. The proposed system model allocates processors… More >

Abstract Accurate forecasting of oil production is essential for optimizing resource management and minimizing operational risks in the energy sector. Traditional time-series forecasting techniques, despite their widespread application, often encounter difficulties in handling the complexities of oil production data, which is characterized by non-linear patterns, skewed distributions, and the presence of outliers. To overcome these limitations, deep learning methods have emerged as more robust alternatives. However, while deep neural networks offer improved accuracy, they demand substantial amounts of data for effective training. Conversely, shallow networks with fewer layers lack the capacity to model complex data distributions… More >

Abstract Gliomas are aggressive brain tumors known for their heterogeneity, unclear borders, and diverse locations on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans. These factors present significant challenges for MRI-based segmentation, a crucial step for effective treatment planning and monitoring of glioma progression. This study proposes a novel deep learning framework, ResNet Multi-Head Attention U-Net (ResMHA-Net), to address these challenges and enhance glioma segmentation accuracy. ResMHA-Net leverages the strengths of both residual blocks from the ResNet architecture and multi-head attention mechanisms. This powerful combination empowers the network to prioritize informative regions within the 3D MRI data and capture… More >

Abstract Brain tumor is a global issue due to which several people suffer, and its early diagnosis can help in the treatment in a more efficient manner. Identifying different types of brain tumors, including gliomas, meningiomas, pituitary tumors, as well as confirming the absence of tumors, poses a significant challenge using MRI images. Current approaches predominantly rely on traditional machine learning and basic deep learning methods for image classification. These methods often rely on manual feature extraction and basic convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The limitations include inadequate accuracy, poor generalization of new data, and limited ability… More >

Abstract With the increasing awareness of privacy protection and the improvement of relevant laws, federal learning has gradually become a new choice for cross-agency and cross-device machine learning. In order to solve the problems of privacy leakage, high computational overhead and high traffic in some federated learning schemes, this paper proposes a multiplicative double privacy mask algorithm which is convenient for homomorphic addition aggregation. The combination of homomorphic encryption and secret sharing ensures that the server cannot compromise user privacy from the private gradient uploaded by the participants. At the same time, the proposed TQRR (Top-Q-Random-R) More >

Abstract Federated learning is an important distributed model training technique in Internet of Things (IoT), in which participant selection is a key component that plays a role in improving training efficiency and model accuracy. This module enables a central server to select a subset of participants to perform model training based on data and device information. By doing so, selected participants are rewarded and actively perform model training, while participants that are detrimental to training efficiency and model accuracy are excluded. However, in practice, participants may suspect that the central server may have miscalculated and thus… More >

Abstract Accurate load forecasting forms a crucial foundation for implementing household demand response plans and optimizing load scheduling. When dealing with short-term load data characterized by substantial fluctuations, a single prediction model is hard to capture temporal features effectively, resulting in diminished prediction accuracy. In this study, a hybrid deep learning framework that integrates attention mechanism, convolution neural network (CNN), improved chaotic particle swarm optimization (ICPSO), and long short-term memory (LSTM), is proposed for short-term household load forecasting. Firstly, the CNN model is employed to extract features from the original data, enhancing the quality of data… More >
