Fuzzy Hybrid Coyote Optimization Algorithm for Image Thresholding

In order to address the problems of Coyote Optimization Algorithm in image thresholding,such as easily falling into local optimum,and slow convergence speed,a Fuzzy Hybrid Coyote Optimization Algorithm(here-inafter referred to as FHCOA)based on chaotic initialization and reverse learning strategy is proposed,and its effect on image thresholding is verified.Through chaotic initialization,the random number initialization mode in the standard coyote optimization algorithm(COA)is replaced by chaotic sequence.Such sequence is nonlinear and long-term unpredictable,these characteristics can effectively improve the diversity of the population in the optimization algorithm.Therefore,in this paper we first perform chaotic initialization,using chaotic sequence to replace random number initialization in standard COA.By combining the lens imaging reverse learning strategy and the optimal worst reverse learning strategy,a hybrid reverse learning strategy is then formed.In the process of algorithm traversal,the best coyote and the worst coyote in the pack are selected for reverse learning operation respectively,which prevents the algorithm falling into local optimum to a certain extent and also solves the problem of premature convergence.Based on the above improvements,the coyote optimization algorithm has better global convergence and computational robustness.The simulation results show that the algorithmhas better thresholding effect than the five commonly used optimization algorithms in image thresholding when multiple images are selected and different threshold numbers are set.

Enhanced Coyote Optimization with Deep Learning Based Cloud-Intrusion Detection System

Cloud Computing(CC)is the preference of all information technology(IT)organizations as it offers pay-per-use based and flexible services to its users.But the privacy and security become the main hindrances in its achievement due to distributed and open architecture that is prone to intruders.Intrusion Detection System(IDS)refers to one of the commonly utilized system for detecting attacks on cloud.IDS proves to be an effective and promising technique,that identifies malicious activities and known threats by observing traffic data in computers,and warnings are given when such threatswere identified.The current mainstream IDS are assisted with machine learning(ML)but have issues of low detection rates and demanded wide feature engineering.This article devises an Enhanced Coyote Optimization with Deep Learning based Intrusion Detection System for Cloud Security(ECODL-IDSCS)model.The ECODL-IDSCS model initially addresses the class imbalance data problem by the use of Adaptive Synthetic(ADASYN)technique.For detecting and classification of intrusions,long short term memory(LSTM)model is exploited.In addition,ECO algorithm is derived to optimally fine tune the hyperparameters related to the LSTM model to enhance its detection efficiency in the cloud environment.Once the presented ECODL-IDSCS model is tested on benchmark dataset,the experimental results show the promising performance of the ECODL-IDSCS model over the existing IDS models.
