A Graph-Based Semi-Supervised Approach for Few-Shot Class-Incremental Modulation Classification

With the successive application of deep learning(DL)in classification tasks,the DL-based modulation classification method has become the preference for its state-of-the-art performance.Nevertheless,once the DL recognition model is pre-trained with fixed classes,the pre-trained model tends to predict incorrect results when identifying incremental classes.Moreover,the incremental classes are usually emergent without label information or only a few labeled samples of incremental classes can be obtained.In this context,we propose a graphbased semi-supervised approach to address the fewshot classes-incremental(FSCI)modulation classification problem.Our proposed method is a twostage learning method,specifically,a warm-up model is trained for classifying old classes and incremental classes,where the unlabeled samples of incremental classes are uniformly labeled with the same label to alleviate the damage of the class imbalance problem.Then the warm-up model is regarded as a feature extractor for constructing a similar graph to connect labeled samples and unlabeled samples,and the label propagation algorithm is adopted to propagate the label information from labeled nodes to unlabeled nodes in the graph to achieve the purpose of incremental classes recognition.Simulation results prove that the proposed method is superior to other finetuning methods and retrain methods.

Relational Turkish Text Classification Using Distant Supervised Entities and Relations

Text classification,by automatically categorizing texts,is one of the foundational elements of natural language processing applications.This study investigates how text classification performance can be improved through the integration of entity-relation information obtained from the Wikidata(Wikipedia database)database and BERTbased pre-trained Named Entity Recognition(NER)models.Focusing on a significant challenge in the field of natural language processing(NLP),the research evaluates the potential of using entity and relational information to extract deeper meaning from texts.The adopted methodology encompasses a comprehensive approach that includes text preprocessing,entity detection,and the integration of relational information.Experiments conducted on text datasets in both Turkish and English assess the performance of various classification algorithms,such as Support Vector Machine,Logistic Regression,Deep Neural Network,and Convolutional Neural Network.The results indicate that the integration of entity-relation information can significantly enhance algorithmperformance in text classification tasks and offer new perspectives for information extraction and semantic analysis in NLP applications.Contributions of this work include the utilization of distant supervised entity-relation information in Turkish text classification,the development of a Turkish relational text classification approach,and the creation of a relational database.By demonstrating potential performance improvements through the integration of distant supervised entity-relation information into Turkish text classification,this research aims to support the effectiveness of text-based artificial intelligence(AI)tools.Additionally,it makes significant contributions to the development ofmultilingual text classification systems by adding deeper meaning to text content,thereby providing a valuable addition to current NLP studies and setting an important reference point for future research.

Leveraging Uncertainty for Depth-Aware Hierarchical Text Classification

Hierarchical Text Classification(HTC)aims to match text to hierarchical labels.Existing methods overlook two critical issues:first,some texts cannot be fully matched to leaf node labels and need to be classified to the correct parent node instead of treating leaf nodes as the final classification target.Second,error propagation occurs when a misclassification at a parent node propagates down the hierarchy,ultimately leading to inaccurate predictions at the leaf nodes.To address these limitations,we propose an uncertainty-guided HTC depth-aware model called DepthMatch.Specifically,we design an early stopping strategy with uncertainty to identify incomplete matching between text and labels,classifying them into the corresponding parent node labels.This approach allows us to dynamically determine the classification depth by leveraging evidence to quantify and accumulate uncertainty.Experimental results show that the proposed DepthMatch outperforms recent strong baselines on four commonly used public datasets:WOS(Web of Science),RCV1-V2(Reuters Corpus Volume I),AAPD(Arxiv Academic Paper Dataset),and BGC.Notably,on the BGC dataset,it improvesMicro-F1 andMacro-F1 scores by at least 1.09%and 1.74%,respectively.

Ensemble Filter-Wrapper Text Feature Selection Methods for Text Classification

Feature selection is a crucial technique in text classification for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of classifiers or machine learning techniques by reducing the dataset’s dimensionality.This involves eliminating irrelevant,redundant,and noisy features to streamline the classification process.Various methods,from single feature selection techniques to ensemble filter-wrapper methods,have been used in the literature.Metaheuristic algorithms have become popular due to their ability to handle optimization complexity and the continuous influx of text documents.Feature selection is inherently multi-objective,balancing the enhancement of feature relevance,accuracy,and the reduction of redundant features.This research presents a two-fold objective for feature selection.The first objective is to identify the top-ranked features using an ensemble of three multi-univariate filter methods:Information Gain(Infogain),Chi-Square(Chi^(2)),and Analysis of Variance(ANOVA).This aims to maximize feature relevance while minimizing redundancy.The second objective involves reducing the number of selected features and increasing accuracy through a hybrid approach combining Artificial Bee Colony(ABC)and Genetic Algorithms(GA).This hybrid method operates in a wrapper framework to identify the most informative subset of text features.Support Vector Machine(SVM)was employed as the performance evaluator for the proposed model,tested on two high-dimensional multiclass datasets.The experimental results demonstrated that the ensemble filter combined with the ABC+GA hybrid approach is a promising solution for text feature selection,offering superior performance compared to other existing feature selection algorithms.

A Few-Shot Learning-Based Automatic Modulation Classification Method for Internet of Things

Due to the limited computational capability and the diversity of the Internet of Things devices working in different environment,we consider fewshot learning-based automatic modulation classification(AMC)to improve its reliability.A data enhancement module(DEM)is designed by a convolutional layer to supplement frequency-domain information as well as providing nonlinear mapping that is beneficial for AMC.Multimodal network is designed to have multiple residual blocks,where each residual block has multiple convolutional kernels of different sizes for diverse feature extraction.Moreover,a deep supervised loss function is designed to supervise all parts of the network including the hidden layers and the DEM.Since different model may output different results,cooperative classifier is designed to avoid the randomness of single model and improve the reliability.Simulation results show that this few-shot learning-based AMC method can significantly improve the AMC accuracy compared to the existing methods.

Social media has revolutionized the dissemination of real-life information,serving as a robust platform for sharing life events.Twitter,characterized by its brevity and continuous flow of posts,has emerged as a crucial source for public health surveillance,offering valuable insights into public reactions during the COVID-19 pandemic.This study aims to leverage a range of machine learning techniques to extract pivotal themes and facilitate text classification on a dataset of COVID-19 outbreak-related tweets.Diverse topic modeling approaches have been employed to extract pertinent themes and subsequently form a dataset for training text classification models.An assessment of coherence metrics revealed that the Gibbs Sampling Dirichlet Mixture Model(GSDMM),which utilizes trigram and bag-of-words(BOW)feature extraction,outperformed Non-negative Matrix Factorization(NMF),Latent Dirichlet Allocation(LDA),and a hybrid strategy involving Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers(BERT)combined with LDA and K-means to pinpoint significant themes within the dataset.Among the models assessed for text clustering,the utilization of LDA,either as a clustering model or for feature extraction combined with BERT for K-means,resulted in higher coherence scores,consistent with human ratings,signifying their efficacy.In particular,LDA,notably in conjunction with trigram representation and BOW,demonstrated superior performance.This underscores the suitability of LDA for conducting topic modeling,given its proficiency in capturing intricate textual relationships.In the context of text classification,models such as Linear Support Vector Classification(LSVC),Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM),Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory(BiLSTM),Convolutional Neural Network with BiLSTM(CNN-BiLSTM),and BERT have shown outstanding performance,achieving accuracy and weighted F1-Score scores exceeding 80%.These results significantly surpassed other models,such as Multinomial Naive Bayes(MNB),Linear Support Vector Machine(LSVM),and Logistic Regression(LR),which achieved scores in the range of 60 to 70 percent.

Text categorization based on fuzzy classification rules tree

To deal with the problem that arises when the conventional fuzzy class-association method applies repetitive scans of the classifier to classify new texts,which has low efficiency, a new approach based on the FCR-tree（fuzzy classification rules tree）for text categorization is proposed.The compactness of the FCR-tree saves significant space in storing a large set of rules when there are many repeated words in the rules.In comparison with classification rules,the fuzzy classification rules contain not only words,but also the fuzzy sets corresponding to the frequencies of words appearing in texts.Therefore,the construction of an FCR-tree and its structure are different from a CR-tree.To debase the difficulty of FCR-tree construction and rules retrieval,more k-FCR-trees are built.When classifying a new text,it is not necessary to search the paths of the sub-trees led by those words not appearing in this text,thus reducing the number of traveling rules.Experimental results show that the proposed approach obviously outperforms the conventional method in efficiency.

BSTFNet:An Encrypted Malicious Traffic Classification Method Integrating Global Semantic and Spatiotemporal Features

While encryption technology safeguards the security of network communications,malicious traffic also uses encryption protocols to obscure its malicious behavior.To address the issues of traditional machine learning methods relying on expert experience and the insufficient representation capabilities of existing deep learning methods for encrypted malicious traffic,we propose an encrypted malicious traffic classification method that integrates global semantic features with local spatiotemporal features,called BERT-based Spatio-Temporal Features Network(BSTFNet).At the packet-level granularity,the model captures the global semantic features of packets through the attention mechanism of the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers(BERT)model.At the byte-level granularity,we initially employ the Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit(BiGRU)model to extract temporal features from bytes,followed by the utilization of the Text Convolutional Neural Network(TextCNN)model with multi-sized convolution kernels to extract local multi-receptive field spatial features.The fusion of features from both granularities serves as the ultimate multidimensional representation of malicious traffic.Our approach achieves accuracy and F1-score of 99.39%and 99.40%,respectively,on the publicly available USTC-TFC2016 dataset,and effectively reduces sample confusion within the Neris and Virut categories.The experimental results demonstrate that our method has outstanding representation and classification capabilities for encrypted malicious traffic.

Parallel naive Bayes algorithm for large-scale Chinese text classification based on spark

The sharp increase of the amount of Internet Chinese text data has significantly prolonged the processing time of classification on these data.In order to solve this problem,this paper proposes and implements a parallel naive Bayes algorithm(PNBA)for Chinese text classification based on Spark,a parallel memory computing platform for big data.This algorithm has implemented parallel operation throughout the entire training and prediction process of naive Bayes classifier mainly by adopting the programming model of resilient distributed datasets(RDD).For comparison,a PNBA based on Hadoop is also implemented.The test results show that in the same computing environment and for the same text sets,the Spark PNBA is obviously superior to the Hadoop PNBA in terms of key indicators such as speedup ratio and scalability.Therefore,Spark-based parallel algorithms can better meet the requirement of large-scale Chinese text data mining.

The experiments based on science and technology gave promising results that the new TF-IDF approach improves the precision and recall of text classification compared with the conventional TF-IDF approach.

In order to solve the poor performance in text classification when using traditional formula of mutual information （MI） , a feature selection algorithm were proposed based on improved mutual information. The improved mutual information algorithm, which is on the basis of traditional improved mutual information methods that enbance the MI value of negative characteristics and feature＇ s frequency, supports the concept of concentration degree and dispersion degree.

Novel Machine Learning–Based Approach for Arabic Text Classification Using Stylistic and Semantic Features

Text classification is an essential task for many applications related to the Natural Language Processing domain.It can be applied in many fields,such as Information Retrieval,Knowledge Extraction,and Knowledge modeling.Even though the importance of this task,Arabic Text Classification tools still suffer from many problems and remain incapable of responding to the increasing volume of Arabic content that circulates on the web or resides in large databases.This paper introduces a novel machine learning-based approach that exclusively uses hybrid(stylistic and semantic)features.First,we clean the Arabic documents and translate them to English using translation tools.Consequently,the semantic features are automatically extracted from the translated documents using an existing database of English topics.Besides,the model automatically extracts from the textual content a set of stylistic features such as word and character frequencies and punctuation.Therefore,we obtain 3 types of features:semantic,stylistic and hybrid.Using each time,a different type of feature,we performed an in-depth comparison study of nine well-known Machine Learning models to evaluate our approach and used a standard Arabic corpus.The obtained results show that Neural Network outperforms other models and provides good performances using hybrid features(F1-score=0.88%).

Text Classification Using Support Vector Machine with Mixture of Kernel

Recent studies have revealed that emerging modern machine learning techniques are advantageous to statistical models for text classification, such as SVM. In this study, we discuss the applications of the support vector machine with mixture of kernel (SVM-MK) to design a text classification system. Differing from the standard SVM, the SVM-MK uses the 1-norm based object function and adopts the convex combinations of single feature basic kernels. Only a linear programming problem needs to be resolved and it greatly reduces the computational costs. More important, it is a transparent model and the optimal feature subset can be obtained automatically. A real Chinese corpus from FudanUniversityis used to demonstrate the good performance of the SVM- MK.

Text format information is full of most of the resources of Internet,which puts forward higher and higher requirements for the accuracy of text classification.Therefore,in this manuscript,firstly,we design a hybrid model of bidirectional encoder representation from transformers-hierarchical attention networks-dilated convolutions networks(BERT_HAN_DCN)which based on BERT pre-trained model with superior ability of extracting characteristic.The advantages of HAN model and DCN model are taken into account which can help gain abundant semantic information,fusing context semantic features and hierarchical characteristics.Secondly,the traditional softmax algorithm increases the learning difficulty of the same kind of samples,making it more difficult to distinguish similar features.Based on this,AM-softmax is introduced to replace the traditional softmax.Finally,the fused model is validated,which shows superior performance in the accuracy rate and F1-score of this hybrid model on two datasets and the experimental analysis shows the general single models such as HAN,DCN,based on BERT pre-trained model.Besides,the improved AM-softmax network model is superior to the general softmax network model.
