Abstract The increasing adoption of 5G cellular networks has introduced significant challenges for network operators. The main challenge lies in the management of seamless handoff (HO), which occurs owing to the rapid expansion of equipment, data, and network complexity. To address this challenge, a model named optimal HO management deep learning neural network (OHMDLNN) is proposed. The model is trained on network activity data, and it uses KPIs (key performance indicators) and system-level parameters to make HO decisions. As demonstrated in the article, OHMDLNN is successful in analyzing the effect and interdependence of KPIs from both… More >

Abstract The rapid digitization of microfinance institutions (MFIs) has strengthened financial inclusion but has simultaneously increased exposure to phishing attacks and other cybersecurity threats driven by organizational, technical, and human vulnerabilities. Grounded in socio-technical systems theory, this systematic analysis evaluates AI-based mitigation strategies, with particular emphasis on gated recurrent unit (GRU) architectures. It compares them with Transformer and LSTM models. GRUs are prioritized due to their computational efficiency and suitability for low-resource environments typical of digital MFIs. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, 32 empirical studies published between January 2012 and April 2025 were analyzed from the Web… More >

Abstract The accurate state of health (SOH) estimation in lithium-ion batteries represents a critical technological challenge with profound implications for electric vehicle performance and user experience. Precise SOH assessment not only enables reliable mileage prediction but also ensures operational safety. However, the complex and non-linear capacity fading process during battery cycling poses a challenge to obtaining accurate SOH. To address this issue, this study proposes an effective health factor derived from the local voltage range during the battery charging phase. First, the battery charging phase is divided evenly with reference to voltage intervals, and an importance… More >

Abstract The global population is rapidly expanding, driving an increasing demand for intelligent healthcare systems. Artificial intelligence (AI) applications in remote patient monitoring and diagnosis have achieved remarkable progress and are emerging as a major development trend. Among these applications, mouth motion tracking and mouth-state detection represent an important direction, providing valuable support for diagnosing neuromuscular disorders such as dysphagia, Bell’s palsy, and Parkinson’s disease. In this study, we focus on developing a real-time system capable of monitoring and detecting mouth state that can be efficiently deployed on edge devices. The proposed system integrates the Facial… More >

Abstract Knowledge graphs often suffer from sparsity and incompleteness. Knowledge graph reasoning is an effective way to address these issues. Unlike static knowledge graph reasoning, which is invariant over time, dynamic knowledge graph reasoning is more challenging due to its temporal nature. In essence, within each time step in a dynamic knowledge graph, there exists structural dependencies among entities and relations, whereas between adjacent time steps, there exists temporal continuity. Based on these structural and temporal characteristics, we propose a model named “DKGR-DR” to learn distributed representations of entities and relations by combining recurrent neural networks More >

Abstract This paper investigates the traffic offloading optimization challenge in Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks (SAGIN) through a novel Recursive Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization (RMAPPO) algorithm. The exponential growth of mobile devices and data traffic has substantially increased network congestion, particularly in urban areas and regions with limited terrestrial infrastructure. Our approach jointly optimizes unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) trajectories and satellite-assisted offloading strategies to simultaneously maximize data throughput, minimize energy consumption, and maintain equitable resource distribution. The proposed RMAPPO framework incorporates recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to model temporal dependencies in UAV mobility patterns and utilizes a decentralized multi-agent More >

Abstract Power load forecasting load forecasting is a core task in power system scheduling, operation, and planning. To enhance forecasting performance, this paper proposes a dual-input deep learning model that integrates Convolutional Neural Networks, Gated Recurrent Units, and a self-attention mechanism. Based on standardized data cleaning and normalization, the method performs convolutional feature extraction and recurrent modeling on load and meteorological time series separately. The self-attention mechanism is then applied to assign weights to key time steps, after which the two feature streams are flattened and concatenated. Finally, a fully connected layer is used to generate 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 The Internet of Things (IoT) is an innovation that combines imagined space with the actual world on a single platform. Because of the recent rapid rise of IoT devices, there has been a lack of standards, leading to a massive increase in unprotected devices connecting to networks. Consequently, cyberattacks on IoT are becoming more common, particularly keylogging attacks, which are often caused by security vulnerabilities on IoT networks. This research focuses on the role of transfer learning and ensemble classifiers in enhancing the detection of keylogging attacks within small, imbalanced IoT datasets. The authors propose… More >

Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) continue to present a leading cause of mortality worldwide, emphasizing the importance of early and accurate prediction. Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, central to cardiac monitoring, have increasingly been integrated with Deep Learning (DL) for real-time prediction of CVDs. However, DL models are prone to performance degradation due to concept drift and to catastrophic forgetting. To address this issue, we propose a real-time CVDs prediction approach, referred to as ADWIN-GFR that combines Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) layers, for spatial feature extraction, with Gated Recurrent Units (GRU), for temporal modeling, alongside adaptive drift detection and… More > Graphic Abstract
