A Multiclass Attack Classification Framework for IoT Using Hybrid Deep Learning Model

In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as one of the most significant concepts in numerous facets of our contemporary way of life. Nonetheless, addressing the concerns over the IoT's security presents the most significant obstacle to the widespread adoption of this technology. Using an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to detect malicious activity in the networks is one of the most essential things that can be done to solve the security concerns posed by the IoT. Hence, a Deep Learning-based IDS (DL-IDS) model is designed for the multi-class classification of attacks in the IoT networks. This DL-IDS model includes data preprocessing, feature extraction, feature selection, and classification processes. The Bot-IoT and IoT-23 datasets are used as input for the research model. In preprocessing, the datasets are normalized, and the missing data are replaced. After preprocessing, the features are extracted using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture. The features selection process is performed from the extracted features by implementing the Quantum-based Chameleon Swarm Optimization (QCSO) algorithm, which selects features from the datasets. Based on these features selected, the multi-class classification is carried out using the Deep Belief Network (DBN) for each attack presented in the datasets. The classification performance is performed individually for both datasets and evaluated using accuracy, detection rate, precision, and f1-scores. The performances of the proposed DL-IDS model are compared with the other models analyzed from the literature survey discussed in this work. The average scores obtained using the IoT-23 data set include 99.45% accuracy, 99.47% detection rate, 99.66% f1-scores, and 99.85% precision. For the Bot-IoT data, the average scores are 99.49% accuracy, 99.52% detection rate, 99.70% f1-score, and 99.88% precision.

Enhancing Network Congestion Control: A Comparative Study of Traditional and AI-Enhanced Active Queue Management Techniques

The issue of multi-access services based on the rapidly expanding Internet affects communication networks and creates congestion problems in buffers, which require effective control. Buffers have previously been managed using simple algorithms such as Droptail (DT), but this method has proven to have many setbacks, such as large queue delays and frequent occurrences of global synchronizations and shutdowns. To overcome these problems, the Active Queue Management (AQM) technique was introduced, including algorithms like Random Early Detection (RED). AQM techniques predict and discharge packets or label them before the buffer reaches its capacity to prevent congestion. In recent work, these algorithms have been enhanced with deep reinforcement learning to achieve improved network performance. This paper intends to present an evaluation of different studies conducted by researchers on congestion control methods. More importantly, it aims to compare the various findings, highlight the prospects of the different methods amid their weaknesses, and discuss future research opportunities within this critical domain of network management.

A Hybrid Intelligence-based Deep Learning Model with Reptile Search Algorithm for Effective Channel Estimation in massive MIMO Communication Systems

Channel estimation poses critical challenges in millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) communication models, particularly when dealing with a substantial number of antennas. Deep learning techniques have shown remarkable advancements in improving channel estimation accuracy and minimizing computational difficulty in 5G as well as the future generation of communications. The main intention of the suggested method is to use an optimal hybrid deep learning strategy to create a better channel estimation model. The proposed method, referred to as optimized D-LSTM, combines the power of a deep neural network (DNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM), and the optimization process involves the integration of the Reptile Search Algorithm (RSA) to enhance the performance of  deep learning model. The suggested hybrid deep learning method considers the correlation between the measurement matrix and the signal vectors that were received as input to predict the amplitude of the beam space channel. The newly proposed estimation model demonstrates remarkable superiority over traditional models in both Normalized Mean-Squared Error (NMSE) reduction and enhanced spectral efficiency. The spectral efficiency of the designed RSA-D-LSTM is 68.62%, 62.26%, 30.3%, and 19.77% higher than DOA, DHOA, HHO, and RSA. Therefore, the suggested system provides better channel estimation to improve its efficiency.

A Fuzzy Adaptive Control Chart as an Alternative to Neutrosophic Techniques for Handling Imprecise Data

Quality control (QC) charts are essential for ensuring industry process stability, but imprecise data make traditional methods unuseful in such a case. Neutrosophic control charts are available to handle the imprecise data. This article learns fuzzy logic as an approach of handling uncertainty more suitably than neutrosophic approaches. Fuzzy QC charts make use of fuzzy numbers, membership functions and fuzzy control limits and as such are more realistic compared to conventional charts. The study introduces a Fuzzy Adaptive Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (FAEWMA) chart, specifically designed for univariate data in a fuzzy atmosphere. The FAEWMA chart, incorporating α-cuts, is engineered to detect shifts in process means, showcasing its effectiveness through both theoretical development and practical applications. This approach improves decision-making in process control and represents a significant advancement over traditional QC methods.

Wearables offer real-time health records to individuals and healthcare providers, permitting for proactive management of chronic conditions and early recognition of health problems. While sleep is of major importance for a healthy life, it can be required to forecast sleep quality.  Insufficient sleep affects mental health, physical, and emotional, and is a solution to many illnesses like heart disease, insulin resistance, stress, heart disease, and so on. Recently, deep learning (DL) techniques can be deployed to forecast the quality of sleep dependent upon the wearables data in the awake duration. Therefore, this paper presents an automated sleep quality recognition using hunger games search optimization with deep learning (ASQR-HGSODL) technique in the IoT-assisted smart healthcare system. The ASQR-HGSODL technique allows the IoT devices to perform a data collection process, which collects the data related to sleep activity. For the feature selection process, the ASQR-HGSODL technique applies an arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA). For the prediction of sleep quality, the ASQR-HGSODL technique implements a convolutional long short-term memory (ConvLSTM) approach. Lastly, the HGSO technique has been applied for the optimum hyper parameter selection of the ConvLSTM approach. To exhibit the effectual prediction results of the ASQR-HGSODL approach, a range of simulation can be carried out. The investigational outputs highlight the improved outcome of the ASQR-HGSODL. technique with other DL methodologies.

Quasi Oppositional Jaya Algorithm with Computer Vision based Deep Learning Model for Emotion Recognition on Autonomous Vehicle Drivers

Facial emotion recognition (FER) technology in autonomous vehicle drivers can considerably strengthen the efficiency and safety of the driving experience. The system can analyze facial expressions in real-time by employing advanced computer vision (CV) techniques, which identify emotions such as stress, fatigue, or distraction. This enables the vehicle to adapt its behavior, triggering interventions or alerts where applicable to alleviate possible threats. Ensuring the emotional well-being of the driver promotes a safer road environment, improving overall road safety and diminishing the possibility of accidents in the era of autonomous vehicles. FER using (Deep Learning) DL is an advanced technique that leverages deep neural network (DNN) to automatically interpret and identify emotions from facial expressions. DL algorithms, especially Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) have attained outstanding results in this field since they allow us to learn temporal dependencies hierarchy and features within the data. This research develops a novel Computer Vision with Optimal DL-based Emotion Recognition (CVODL-ER) model for Autonomous Vehicle Drivers. The CVODL-ER method concentrates on the automated classification of various sorts of emotions of autonomous vehicle drives. To accomplish this, the CVODL-ER technique makes use of the SE-ResNet model for learning intrinsic patterns from the driver's facial images. Besides, the hyper parameter tuning of the SE-ResNet model takes place via a quasi-oppositional Jaya (QO-Jaya) algorithm. For the recognition of driver emotions, the CVODL-ER system executes the deep belief network (DBN) algorithm. The performance analysis of the CVODL-ER technique takes place using a benchmark facial image database. The obtained results underline the improved efficiency of the CVODL-ER technique over other models.
