Abstract This research aims to enhance Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) within Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) by leveraging advanced machine learning techniques. Specifically, we target the challenges of accurate diagnosis in medical imaging and sequential data analysis using Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) layers and echo state cells. These models are tailored to improve diagnostic precision, particularly for conditions like rotator cuff tears in osteoporosis patients and gastrointestinal diseases. Traditional diagnostic methods and existing CDSS frameworks often fall short in managing complex, sequential medical data, struggling with long-term dependencies and data… More >

Abstract Phishing attacks present a persistent and evolving threat in the cybersecurity land-scape, necessitating the development of more sophisticated detection methods. Traditional machine learning approaches to phishing detection have relied heavily on feature engineering and have often fallen short in adapting to the dynamically changing patterns of phishing Uniform Resource Locator (URLs). Addressing these challenge, we introduce a framework that integrates the sequential data processing strengths of a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) with the hyperparameter optimization prowess of the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). Our model capitalizes on an extensive Kaggle dataset, featuring over 11,000 URLs, each More >

Abstract Blasting in surface mines aims to fragment rock masses to a proper size. However, flyrock is an undesirable effect of blasting that can result in human injuries. In this study, support vector regression (SVR) is combined with four algorithms: gravitational search algorithm (GSA), biogeography-based optimization (BBO), ant colony optimization (ACO), and whale optimization algorithm (WOA) for predicting flyrock in two surface mines in Iran. Additionally, three other methods, including artificial neural network (ANN), kernel extreme learning machine (KELM), and general regression neural network (GRNN), are employed, and their performances are compared to those of four More >

Abstract IoT (Internet of Things) devices are being used more and more in a variety of businesses and for a variety of tasks, such as environmental data collection in both civilian and military situations. They are a desirable attack target for malware intended to infect specific IoT devices due to their growing use in a variety of applications and their increasing computational and processing power. In this study, we investigate the possibility of detecting IoT malware using recurrent neural networks (RNNs). RNN is used in the proposed method to investigate the execution operation codes of ARM-based More >

Abstract Skin cancer diagnosis is difficult due to lesion presentation variability. Conventional methods struggle to manually extract features and capture lesions spatial and temporal variations. This study introduces a deep learning-based Convolutional and Recurrent Neural Network (CNN-RNN) model with a ResNet-50 architecture which used as the feature extractor to enhance skin cancer classification. Leveraging synergistic spatial feature extraction and temporal sequence learning, the model demonstrates robust performance on a dataset of 9000 skin lesion photos from nine cancer types. Using pre-trained ResNet-50 for spatial data extraction and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) for temporal dependencies, the model More >

Abstract Automatic detection of student engagement levels from videos, which is a spatio-temporal classification problem is crucial for enhancing the quality of online education. This paper addresses this challenge by proposing four novel hybrid end-to-end deep learning models designed for the automatic detection of student engagement levels in e-learning videos. The evaluation of these models utilizes the DAiSEE dataset, a public repository capturing student affective states in e-learning scenarios. The initial model integrates EfficientNetV2-L with Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and attains an accuracy of 61.45%. Subsequently, the second model combines EfficientNetV2-L with bidirectional GRU (Bi-GRU), yielding More >

Abstract This research presents a reputation-based blockchain consensus mechanism called Proof of Intelligent Reputation (PoIR) as an alternative to traditional Proof of Work (PoW). PoIR addresses the limitations of existing reputation-based consensus mechanisms by proposing a more decentralized and fair node selection process. The proposed PoIR consensus combines Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) with the Network Entity Reputation Database (NERD) to generate reputation scores for network entities and select authoritative nodes. NERD records network entity profiles based on various sources, i.e., Warden, Blacklists, DShield, AlienVault Open Threat Exchange (OTX), and MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform). It… More >

Abstract The proliferation of deluding data such as fake news and phony audits on news web journals, online publications, and internet business apps has been aided by the availability of the web, cell phones, and social media. Individuals can quickly fabricate comments and news on social media. The most difficult challenge is determining which news is real or fake. Accordingly, tracking down programmed techniques to recognize fake news online is imperative. With an emphasis on false news, this study presents the evolution of artificial intelligence techniques for detecting spurious social media content. This study shows past,… More >

Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO) refers to the 2019 new coronavirus epidemic as COVID-19, and it has caused an unprecedented global crisis for several nations. Nearly every country around the globe is now very concerned about the effects of the COVID-19 outbreaks, which were previously only experienced by Chinese residents. Most of these nations are now under a partial or complete state of lockdown due to the lack of resources needed to combat the COVID-19 epidemic and the concern about overstretched healthcare systems. Every time the pandemic surprises them by providing new values for various… More >

Abstract E-commerce, online ticketing, online banking, and other web-based applications that handle sensitive data, such as passwords, payment information, and financial information, are widely used. Various web developers may have varying levels of understanding when it comes to securing an online application. Structured Query language SQL injection and cross-site scripting are the two vulnerabilities defined by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) for its 2017 Top Ten List Cross Site Scripting (XSS). An attacker can exploit these two flaws and launch malicious web-based actions as a result of these flaws. Many published articles focused on… More >
