Hybrid Dipper Throated and Grey Wolf Optimization for Feature Selection Applied to Life Benchmark Datasets

Selecting the most relevant subset of features from a dataset is a vital step in data mining and machine learning.Each feature in a dataset has 2n possible subsets,making it challenging to select the optimum collection of features using typical methods.As a result,a new metaheuristicsbased feature selection method based on the dipper-throated and grey-wolf optimization(DTO-GW)algorithms has been developed in this research.Instability can result when the selection of features is subject to metaheuristics,which can lead to a wide range of results.Thus,we adopted hybrid optimization in our method of optimizing,which allowed us to better balance exploration and harvesting chores more equitably.We propose utilizing the binary DTO-GW search approach we previously devised for selecting the optimal subset of attributes.In the proposed method,the number of features selected is minimized,while classification accuracy is increased.To test the proposed method’s performance against eleven other state-of-theart approaches,eight datasets from the UCI repository were used,such as binary grey wolf search(bGWO),binary hybrid grey wolf,and particle swarm optimization(bGWO-PSO),bPSO,binary stochastic fractal search(bSFS),binary whale optimization algorithm(bWOA),binary modified grey wolf optimization(bMGWO),binary multiverse optimization(bMVO),binary bowerbird optimization(bSBO),binary hysteresis optimization(bHy),and binary hysteresis optimization(bHWO).The suggested method is superior 4532 CMC,2023,vol.74,no.2 and successful in handling the problem of feature selection,according to the results of the experiments.

Hybrid Grey Wolf and Dipper Throated Optimization in Network Intrusion Detection Systems

The Internet of Things(IoT)is a modern approach that enables connection with a wide variety of devices remotely.Due to the resource constraints and open nature of IoT nodes,the routing protocol for low power and lossy(RPL)networks may be vulnerable to several routing attacks.That’s why a network intrusion detection system(NIDS)is needed to guard against routing assaults on RPL-based IoT networks.The imbalance between the false and valid attacks in the training set degrades the performance of machine learning employed to detect network attacks.Therefore,we propose in this paper a novel approach to balance the dataset classes based on metaheuristic optimization applied to locality-sensitive hashing and synthetic minority oversampling technique(LSH-SMOTE).The proposed optimization approach is based on a new hybrid between the grey wolf and dipper throated optimization algorithms.To prove the effectiveness of the proposed approach,a set of experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of NIDS for three cases,namely,detection without dataset balancing,detection with SMOTE balancing,and detection with the proposed optimized LSHSOMTE balancing.Experimental results showed that the proposed approach outperforms the other approaches and could boost the detection accuracy.In addition,a statistical analysis is performed to study the significance and stability of the proposed approach.The conducted experiments include seven different types of attack cases in the RPL-NIDS17 dataset.Based on the 2696 CMC,2023,vol.74,no.2 proposed approach,the achieved accuracy is(98.1%),sensitivity is(97.8%),and specificity is(98.8%).

Adaptive Dynamic Dipper Throated Optimization for Feature Selection in Medical Data

The rapid population growth results in a crucial problem in the early detection of diseases inmedical research.Among all the cancers unveiled,breast cancer is considered the second most severe cancer.Consequently,an exponential rising in death cases incurred by breast cancer is expected due to the rapid population growth and the lack of resources required for performing medical diagnoses.Utilizing recent advances in machine learning could help medical staff in diagnosing diseases as they offer effective,reliable,and rapid responses,which could help in decreasing the death risk.In this paper,we propose a new algorithm for feature selection based on a hybrid between powerful and recently emerged optimizers,namely,guided whale and dipper throated optimizers.The proposed algorithm is evaluated using four publicly available breast cancer datasets.The evaluation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach from the accuracy and speed perspectives.To prove the superiority of the proposed algorithm,a set of competing feature selection algorithms were incorporated into the conducted experiments.In addition,a group of statistical analysis experiments was conducted to emphasize the superiority and stability of the proposed algorithm.The best-achieved breast cancer prediction average accuracy based on the proposed algorithm is 99.453%.This result is achieved in an average time of 3.6725 s,the best result among all the competing approaches utilized in the experiments.

Dipper Throated Optimization for Detecting Black-Hole Attacks inMANETs

In terms of security and privacy,mobile ad-hoc network(MANET)continues to be in demand for additional debate and development.As more MANET applications become data-oriented,implementing a secure and reliable data transfer protocol becomes a major concern in the architecture.However,MANET’s lack of infrastructure,unpredictable topology,and restricted resources,as well as the lack of a previously permitted trust relationship among connected nodes,contribute to the attack detection burden.A novel detection approach is presented in this paper to classify passive and active black-hole attacks.The proposed approach is based on the dipper throated optimization(DTO)algorithm,which presents a plausible path out of multiple paths for statistics transmission to boost MANETs’quality of service.A group of selected packet features will then be weighed by the DTO-based multi-layer perceptron(DTO-MLP),and these features are collected from nodes using the Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchical(LEACH)clustering technique.MLP is a powerful classifier and the DTO weight optimization method has a significant impact on improving the classification process by strengthening the weights of key features while suppressing the weights ofminor features.This hybridmethod is primarily designed to combat active black-hole assaults.Using the LEACH clustering phase,however,can also detect passive black-hole attacks.The effect of mobility variation on detection error and routing overhead is explored and evaluated using the suggested approach.For diverse mobility situations,the results demonstrate up to 97%detection accuracy and faster execution time.Furthermore,the suggested approach uses an adjustable threshold value to make a correct conclusion regarding whether a node is malicious or benign.

Plasma SCF/c-kit Levels in Patients with Dipper and Non-Dipper Hypertension

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between peripheral plasma stem cell factor (SCF)/c-kit levels and the types of dipper and non-dipper hypertension in hypertensive patients.Methods This cross-sectional study included newly diagnosed hypertensive patients who underwent 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) between January 2009 and 2012 in Jiangning city. Patients were divided into the dipper group and the non-dipper group according to ABPM measurements. The levels of SCF and its receptor c-kit, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in peripheral blood were measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. The serum levels of glucose and lipid were examined as well. The levels of SCF/c-kit were compared between the dippers and the non-dippers; and their correlation with 24-hour mean systolic blood pressure (MSBP), 24-hour mean diastolic blood pressure (MDBP), TNF-αand IL-6 were investigated using linear regression analyses statistically.Results A total of 247 patients with newly diagnosed hypertension were recruited into the study, including 116 non-dippers and 131 dippers. The levels of peripheral plasma SCF were higher in non-dipper group (907.1±52.7 ng/L vs. 778.7±44.6 ng/L; t=2.837, P<0.01), and the levels of c-kit were higher in non-dipper group too (13.2±1.7 μg/L vs 9.57±1.4 μg/L; t=2.831, P<0.01). Linear regression analysis revealed that SCF/ckit levels were significantly positively correlated with MSBP, MDBP, plasma TNF-α, and IL-6 levels (all P<0.01).Conclusions Peripheral plasma SCF/c-kit levels are higher in patients with non-dipper hypertension than those with dipper one, and significantly correlate with 24-hour MSBP, 24-hour MDBP, serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels.

In order to improve the seeder’seed-filling ability of the dipper hill-drop precision direct rice seeder,and to meet the mechanization requirement of high speed operation,the self-designed seeder was taken as the objective to explore its seed-filling mechanism and the movement status of rice seed in seed box from the perspective of mechanics.The force models of seed-filling process by dipper were established,and the influential regularity of its rotation speed to compressive resistance of seed population was analyzed as well.The image processing Module-Clipping of discrete element simulation software EDEM was used in the virtual simulation analysis for the process of the seed filling into the dipper,and the velocity relation curve and the force changing curve between rotation speed and seeds were obtained.According to the virtual experiment,the composite filling force of seeds,i.e.the qualified rate on filled rice seed amounts was the largest when rotation speed was at 40 r/min.The performance test bed of seeder was used to verify the simulation results,in which the qualified rate on scooped rice seed amounts was taken as the index,and six rotation speeds of seed-filling dipper were also selected for analysis of seed-filling ability of the device.The results are as follows:with the increase of working speed,the qualified rate on filled rice seed amounts fluctuated with a trend of cosine curve,the largest value was 94.16%occurred when the rotation speed of seed-filling dipper was at 40 r/min.The variation trend of simulation value was approximately consistent with that of verification value.The study can provide a reference for the research and development of mechanical seeder.

“兔毫”与五胡时代西北地区的丧葬文化传播

吐鲁番衣物疏及实物出土的“兔毫”(狐毛)既不是制笔原料,也不是当时人财富的象征。衣物疏中与“兔毫”经常同时出现的“黄桑棺”“弩机”等,也在同时代的河西等地存在,表明两地在丧葬文化上具有一脉相承性。放置于墓主人头部的兔毫与棺木档板或壁画中的北斗、神树、手爪囊等共同构成了相对完整的墓葬逻辑。以千束、万束的兔毫等丝缕结成前往北斗、祈求长生的阶梯,从而达到灵魂升天的目的。又通过手脚指甲含血、被肉,完成复形,继续享受荣华富贵。这是西汉以来北斗求道升仙原始信仰的体现。

良渚文化琮、璧的“权”“衡”功用及其纹饰的天文蕴意

良渚文化玉琮是“权”(秤锤),玉璧则是可以度量长度的“尺”,其他玉器如玉璜等,都曾作为度量衡的标准器物。度量衡在重量、长度、容积方面的确定性要求,使这类器物成了“瑞信”和权力的象征。由于上古度量衡的确定与律历紧密相关,而律历的产生关乎天上的北极星。北斗九星是古时的北极,所以北斗第四星名权星,第五星名玉衡,北斗斗杓也称玉衡;斗柄口的玄戈、招摇两星又名“天蜂”,这天上的“大蜂”是权、衡,也是北斗的象征。良渚文化玉琮上的上下两个神面(兽面)纹,既非猪纹,也非鸟纹,而是蜂纹。后世器物上所谓的“蝉纹”,或是蜂纹之误。

Voting Classifier and Metaheuristic Optimization for Network Intrusion Detection

Managing physical objects in the network’s periphery is made possible by the Internet of Things(IoT),revolutionizing human life.Open attacks and unauthorized access are possible with these IoT devices,which exchange data to enable remote access.These attacks are often detected using intrusion detection methodologies,although these systems’effectiveness and accuracy are subpar.This paper proposes a new voting classifier composed of an ensemble of machine learning models trained and optimized using metaheuristic optimization.The employed metaheuristic optimizer is a new version of the whale optimization algorithm(WOA),which is guided by the dipper throated optimizer(DTO)to improve the exploration process of the traditionalWOA optimizer.The proposed voting classifier categorizes the network intrusions robustly and efficiently.To assess the proposed approach,a dataset created from IoT devices is employed to record the efficiency of the proposed algorithm for binary attack categorization.The dataset records are balanced using the locality-sensitive hashing(LSH)and Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique(SMOTE).The evaluation of the achieved results is performed in terms of statistical analysis and visual plots to prove the proposed approach’s effectiveness,stability,and significance.The achieved results confirmed the superiority of the proposed algorithm for the task of network intrusion detection.
