Swarm Optimization and Machine Learning for Android Malware Detection

Malware Security Intelligence constitutes the analysis of applications and their associated metadata for possible security threats.Application Programming Interfaces(API)calls contain valuable information that can help with malware identification.The malware analysis with reduced feature space helps for the efficient identification of malware.The goal of this research is to find the most informative features of API calls to improve the android malware detection accuracy.Three swarm optimization methods,viz.,Ant Lion Optimization(ALO),Cuckoo Search Optimization(CSO),and Firefly Optimization(FO)are applied to API calls using auto-encoders for identification of most influential features.The nature-inspired wrapperbased algorithms are evaluated using well-known Machine Learning(ML)classifiers such as Linear Regression(LR),Decision Tree(DT),Random Forest(RF),K-Nearest Neighbor(KNN)&SupportVector Machine(SVM).A hybrid Artificial Neuronal Classifier(ANC)is proposed for improving the classification of android malware.The experimental results yielded an accuracy of 98.87%with just seven features out of hundred API call features,i.e.,a massive 93%of data optimization.

Application of CS-PSO algorithm in Bayesian network structure learning

In view of the shortcomings of traditional Bayesian network(BN)structure learning algorithm,such as low efficiency,premature algorithm and poor learning effect,the intelligent algorithm of cuckoo search(CS)and particle swarm optimization(PSO)is selected.Combined with the characteristics of BN structure,a BN structure learning algorithm of CS-PSO is proposed.Firstly,the CS algorithm is improved from the following three aspects:the maximum spanning tree is used to guide the initialization direction of the CS algorithm,the fitness of the solution is used to adjust the optimization and abandoning process of the solution,and PSO algorithm is used to update the position of the CS algorithm.Secondly,according to the structure characteristics of BN,the CS-PSO algorithm is applied to the structure learning of BN.Finally,chest clinic,credit and car diagnosis classic network are utilized as the simulation model,and the modeling and simulation comparison of greedy algorithm,K2 algorithm,CS algorithm and CS-PSO algorithm are carried out.The results show that the CS-PSO algorithm has fast convergence speed,high convergence accuracy and good stability in the structure learning of BN,and it can get the accurate BN structure model faster and better.

A novel stacking-based ensemble learning model for drilling efficiency prediction in earth-rock excavation

Accurate prediction of drilling efficiency is critical for developing the earth-rock excavation schedule.The single machine learning(ML)prediction models usually suffer from problems including parameter sensitivity and overfitting.In addition,the influence of environmental and operational factors is often ignored.In response,a novel stacking-based ensemble learning method taking into account the combined effects of those factors is proposed.Through multiple comparison tests,four models,e Xtreme gradient boosting(XGBoost),random forest(RF),back propagation neural network(BPNN)as the base learners,and support vector regression(SVR)as the meta-learner,are selected for stacking.Furthermore,an improved cuckoo search optimization(ICSO)algorithm is developed for hyper-parameter optimization of the ensemble model.The application to a real-world project demonstrates that the proposed method outperforms the popular single ML method XGBoost and the ensemble model optimized by particle swarm optimization(PSO),with 16.43%and 4.88%improvements of mean absolute percentage error(MAPE),respectively.
