Abstract Imbalanced multiclass datasets pose challenges for machine learning algorithms. They often contain minority classes that are important for accurate predictions. However, when the data is sparsely distributed and overlaps with data points from other classes, it introduces noise. As a result, existing resampling methods may fail to preserve the original data patterns, further disrupting data quality and reducing model performance. This paper introduces Neighbor Displacement-based Enhanced Synthetic Oversampling (NDESO), a hybrid method that integrates a data displacement strategy with a resampling technique to achieve data balance. It begins by computing the average distance of noisy… More >

Abstract Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are common network attacks that primarily target Internet of Things (IoT) devices. They are critical for emerging wireless services, especially for applications with limited latency. DDoS attacks pose significant risks to entrepreneurial businesses, preventing legitimate customers from accessing their websites. These attacks require intelligent analytics before processing service requests. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks exploit vulnerabilities in IoT devices by launching multi-point distributed attacks. These attacks generate massive traffic that overwhelms the victim’s network, disrupting normal operations. The consequences of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are typically… More >

Abstract When dealing with imbalanced datasets, the traditional support vector machine (SVM) tends to produce a classification hyperplane that is biased towards the majority class, which exhibits poor robustness. This paper proposes a high-performance classification algorithm specifically designed for imbalanced datasets. The proposed method first uses a biased second-order cone programming support vector machine (B-SOCP-SVM) to identify the support vectors (SVs) and non-support vectors (NSVs) in the imbalanced data. Then, it applies the synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SV-SMOTE) to oversample the support vectors of the minority class and uses the random under-sampling technique (NSV-RUS) multiple times More >

Abstract The Quadric Error Metrics (QEM) algorithm is a widely used method for mesh simplification; however, it often struggles to preserve high-frequency geometric details, leading to the loss of salient features. To address this limitation, we propose the Salient Feature Sampling Points-based QEM (SFSP-QEM)—also referred to as the Deep Learning-Based Salient Feature-Preserving Algorithm for Mesh Simplification—which incorporates a Salient Feature-Preserving Point Sampler (SFSP). This module leverages deep learning techniques to prioritize the preservation of key geometric features during simplification. Experimental results demonstrate that SFSP-QEM significantly outperforms traditional QEM in preserving geometric details. Specifically, for general models… More >

Abstract The liver is a crucial gland and the second-largest organ in the human body and also essential in digestion, metabolism, detoxification, and immunity. Liver diseases result from factors such as viral infections, obesity, alcohol consumption, injuries, or genetic predispositions. Pose significant health risks and demand timely diagnosis and treatment to enhance survival rates. Traditionally, diagnosing liver diseases relied heavily on clinical expertise, often leading to subjective, challenging, and time-intensive processes. However, early detection is essential for effective intervention, and advancements in machine learning (ML) have demonstrated remarkable success in predicting various conditions, including Chronic Obstructive… More >

Abstract An accurate and robust estimation of leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) is very important to better know the process of material and energy exchange between plants and the environment. Compared with traditional remote sensing methods, abundant research has made progress in agronomic parameter retrieval using different CNN frameworks. Nevertheless, limited reports have paid attention to the problems, i.e., limited measured data, hyperspectral redundancy, and model convergence issues, when concerning CNN models for parameter estimation. Therefore, the present study tried to analyze the effects of synthetic data size expansion employing a Gaussian process regression (GPR) model for… More >

Abstract Load deviations between the output of ultra-supercritical (USC) coal-fired power units and automatic generation control (AGC) commands can adversely affect the safe and stable operation of these units and grid load dispatching. Data-driven diagnostic methods often fail to account for the imbalanced distribution of data samples, leading to reduced classification performance in diagnosing load deviations in USC units. To address the class imbalance issue in USC load deviation datasets, this study proposes a diagnostic method based on the multi-label natural neighbor boundary oversampling technique (MLNaNBDOS). The method is articulated in three phases. Initially, the traditional… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract With the widespread use of blockchain technology for smart contracts and decentralized applications on the Ethereum platform, the blockchain has become a cornerstone of trust in the modern financial system. However, its anonymity has provided new ways for Ponzi schemes to commit fraud, posing significant risks to investors. Current research still has some limitations, for example, Ponzi schemes are difficult to detect in the early stages of smart contract deployment, and data imbalance is not considered. In addition, there is room for improving the detection accuracy. To address the above issues, this paper proposes LT-SPSD… More >

Abstract Ransomware attacks pose a significant threat to critical infrastructures, demanding robust detection mechanisms. This study introduces a hybrid model that combines vision transformer (ViT) and one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1DCNN) architectures to enhance ransomware detection capabilities. Addressing common challenges in ransomware detection, particularly dataset class imbalance, the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) is employed to generate synthetic samples for minority class, thereby improving detection accuracy. The integration of ViT and 1DCNN through feature fusion enables the model to capture both global contextual and local sequential features, resulting in comprehensive ransomware classification.
