Abstract Customer churn is the rate at which customers discontinue doing business with a company over a given time period. It is an essential measure for businesses to monitor high churn rates, as they often indicate underlying issues with services, products, or customer experience, resulting in considerable income loss. Prediction of customer churn is a crucial task aimed at retaining customers and maintaining revenue growth. Traditional machine learning (ML) models often struggle to capture complex temporal dependencies in client behavior data. To address this, an optimized deep learning (DL) approach using a Regularized Bidirectional Long Short-Term… More >

Abstract With the increasing growth of online news, fake electronic news detection has become one of the most important paradigms of modern research. Traditional electronic news detection techniques are generally based on contextual understanding, sequential dependencies, and/or data imbalance. This makes distinction between genuine and fabricated news a challenging task. To address this problem, we propose a novel hybrid architecture, T5-SA-LSTM, which synergistically integrates the T5 Transformer for semantically rich contextual embedding with the Self-Attention-enhanced (SA) Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The LSTM is trained using the Adam optimizer, which provides faster and more stable convergence compared… More >

Abstract QR codes are widely used in applications such as information sharing, advertising, and digital payments. However, their growing adoption has made them attractive targets for malicious activities, including malware distribution and phishing attacks. Traditional detection approaches rely on URL analysis or image-based feature extraction, which may introduce significant computational overhead and limit real-time applicability, and their performance often depends on the quality of extracted features. Previous studies in malicious detection do not fully focus on QR code security when combining convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with recurrent neural networks (RNNs). This research proposes a deep learning… More >

Abstract Power prediction has been critical in large-scale wind power grid connections. However, traditional wind power prediction methods have long suffered from problems, for instance low prediction accuracy and poor reliability. For this purpose, a hybrid prediction model (VMD-LSTM-Attention) has been proposed, which integrates the variational modal decomposition (VMD), the long short-term memory (LSTM), and the attention mechanism (Attention), and has been optimized by improved dung beetle optimization algorithm (IDBO). Firstly, the algorithm’s performance has been significantly enhanced through the implementation of three key strategies, namely the elite group strategy of the Logistic-Tent map, the nonlinear… More >

Abstract Air pollution, specifically fine particulate matter (PM2.5), represents a critical environmental and public health concern due to its adverse effects on respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Accurate forecasting of PM2.5 concentrations is essential for mitigating health risks; however, the inherent nonlinearity and dynamic variability of air quality data present significant challenges. This study conducts a systematic evaluation of deep learning algorithms including Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and the hybrid CNN-LSTM as well as statistical models, AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) for hourly PM2.5 forecasting. Model performance is… More >

Abstract Although digital changes in power systems have added more ways to monitor and control them, these changes have also led to new cyber-attack risks, mainly from False Data Injection (FDI) attacks. If this happens, the sensors and operations are compromised, which can lead to big problems, disruptions, failures and blackouts. In response to this challenge, this paper presents a reliable and innovative detection framework that leverages Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) networks and employs explanatory methods from Artificial Intelligence (AI). Not only does the suggested architecture detect potential fraud with high accuracy, but it also… More >
