Intrusion Detection System Using Classification Algorithms with Feature Selection Mechanism over Real-Time Data Traffic

The key objective of intrusion detection systems(IDS)is to protect the particular host or network by investigating and predicting the network traffic as an attack or normal.These IDS uses many methods of machine learning(ML)to learn from pastexperience attack i.e.signatures based and identify the new ones.Even though these methods are effective,but they have to suffer from large computational costs due to considering all the traffic features,together.Moreover,emerging technologies like the Internet of Things(Io T),big data,etc.are getting advanced day by day;as a result,network traffics are also increasing rapidly.Therefore,the issue of computational cost needs to be addressed properly.Thus,in this research,firstly,the ML methods have been used with the feature selection technique(FST)to reduce the number of features by picking out only the important ones from NSL-KDD,CICIDS2017,and CIC-DDo S2019datasets later that helped to build IDSs with lower cost but with the higher performance which would be appropriate for vast scale network.The experimental result demonstrated that the proposed model i.e.Decision tree(DT)with Recursive feature elimination(RFE)performs better than other classifiers with RFE in terms of accuracy,specificity,precision,sensitivity,F1-score,and G-means on the investigated datasets.

Manual investigation of chest radiography(CXR)images by physicians is crucial for effective decision-making in COVID-19 diagnosis.However,the high demand during the pandemic necessitates auxiliary help through image analysis and machine learning techniques.This study presents a multi-threshold-based segmentation technique to probe high pixel intensity regions in CXR images of various pathologies,including normal cases.Texture information is extracted using gray co-occurrence matrix(GLCM)-based features,while vessel-like features are obtained using Frangi,Sato,and Meijering filters.Machine learning models employing Decision Tree(DT)and RandomForest(RF)approaches are designed to categorize CXR images into common lung infections,lung opacity(LO),COVID-19,and viral pneumonia(VP).The results demonstrate that the fusion of texture and vesselbased features provides an effective ML model for aiding diagnosis.The ML model validation using performance measures,including an accuracy of approximately 91.8%with an RF-based classifier,supports the usefulness of the feature set and classifier model in categorizing the four different pathologies.Furthermore,the study investigates the importance of the devised features in identifying the underlying pathology and incorporates histogrambased analysis.This analysis reveals varying natural pixel distributions in CXR images belonging to the normal,COVID-19,LO,and VP groups,motivating the incorporation of additional features such as mean,standard deviation,skewness,and percentile based on the filtered images.Notably,the study achieves a considerable improvement in categorizing COVID-19 from LO,with a true positive rate of 97%,further substantiating the effectiveness of the methodology implemented.

Using Cross Entropy as a Performance Metric for Quantifying Uncertainty in DNN Image Classifiers: An Application to Classification of Lung Cancer on CT Images

Cross entropy is a measure in machine learning and deep learning that assesses the difference between predicted and actual probability distributions. In this study, we propose cross entropy as a performance evaluation metric for image classifier models and apply it to the CT image classification of lung cancer. A convolutional neural network is employed as the deep neural network (DNN) image classifier, with the residual network (ResNet) 50 chosen as the DNN archi-tecture. The image data used comprise a lung CT image set. Two classification models are built from datasets with varying amounts of data, and lung cancer is categorized into four classes using 10-fold cross-validation. Furthermore, we employ t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding to visually explain the data distribution after classification. Experimental results demonstrate that cross en-tropy is a highly useful metric for evaluating the reliability of image classifier models. It is noted that for a more comprehensive evaluation of model perfor-mance, combining with other evaluation metrics is considered essential. .

Breast cancer is a deadly disease and radiologists recommend mammography to detect it at the early stages. This paper presents two types of HanmanNets using the information set concept for the derivation of deep information set features from ResNet by modifying its kernel functions to yield Type-1 HanmanNets and then AlexNet, GoogLeNet and VGG-16 by changing their feature maps to yield Type-2 HanmanNets. The two types of HanmanNets exploit the final feature maps of these architectures in the generation of deep information set features from mammograms for their classification using the Hanman Transform Classifier. In this work, the characteristics of the abnormality present in the mammograms are captured using the above network architectures that help derive the features of HanmanNets based on information set concept and their performance is compared via the classification accuracies. The highest accuracy of 100% is achieved for the multi-class classifications on the mini-MIAS database thus surpassing the results in the literature. Validation of the results is done by the expert radiologists to show their clinical relevance.

Multilayer Neural Network Based Speech Emotion Recognition for Smart Assistance

Day by day,biometric-based systems play a vital role in our daily lives.This paper proposed an intelligent assistant intended to identify emotions via voice message.A biometric system has been developed to detect human emotions based on voice recognition and control a few electronic peripherals for alert actions.This proposed smart assistant aims to provide a support to the people through buzzer and light emitting diodes(LED)alert signals and it also keep track of the places like households,hospitals and remote areas,etc.The proposed approach is able to detect seven emotions:worry,surprise,neutral,sadness,happiness,hate and love.The key elements for the implementation of speech emotion recognition are voice processing,and once the emotion is recognized,the machine interface automatically detects the actions by buzzer and LED.The proposed system is trained and tested on various benchmark datasets,i.e.,Ryerson Audio-Visual Database of Emotional Speech and Song(RAVDESS)database,Acoustic-Phonetic Continuous Speech Corpus(TIMIT)database,Emotional Speech database(Emo-DB)database and evaluated based on various parameters,i.e.,accuracy,error rate,and time.While comparing with existing technologies,the proposed algorithm gave a better error rate and less time.Error rate and time is decreased by 19.79%,5.13 s.for the RAVDEES dataset,15.77%,0.01 s for the Emo-DB dataset and 14.88%,3.62 for the TIMIT database.The proposed model shows better accuracy of 81.02%for the RAVDEES dataset,84.23%for the TIMIT dataset and 85.12%for the Emo-DB dataset compared to Gaussian Mixture Modeling(GMM)and Support Vector Machine(SVM)Model.

A novel molecular classification method for osteosarcoma based on tumor cell differentiation trajectories

Subclassification of tumors based on molecular features may facilitate therapeutic choice and increase the response rate of cancer patients.However,the highly complex cell origin involved in osteosarcoma(OS)limits the utility of traditional bulk RNA sequencing for OS subclassification.Single-cell RNA sequencing(sc RNA-seq)holds great promise for identifying cell heterogeneity.However,this technique has rarely been used in the study of tumor subclassification.By analyzing sc RNA-seq data for six conventional OS and nine cancellous bone(CB)samples,we identified 29 clusters in OS and CB samples and discovered three differentiation trajectories from the cancer stem cell(CSC)-like subset,which allowed us to classify OS samples into three groups.The classification model was further examined using the TARGET dataset.Each subgroup of OS had different prognoses and possible drug sensitivities,and OS cells in the three differentiation branches showed distinct interactions with other clusters in the OS microenvironment.In addition,we verified the classification model through IHC staining in 138 OS samples,revealing a worse prognosis for Group B patients.Furthermore,we describe the novel transcriptional program of CSCs and highlight the activation of EZH2 in CSCs of OS.These findings provide a novel subclassification method based on sc RNA-seq and shed new light on the molecular features of CSCs in OS and may serve as valuable references for precision treatment for and therapeutic development in OS.

An Improved LSTM-PCA Ensemble Classifier for SQL Injection and XSS Attack Detection

The Repository Mahasiswa(RAMA)is a national repository of research reports in the form of final assignments,student projects,theses,dissertations,and research reports of lecturers or researchers that have not yet been published in journals,conferences,or integrated books from the scientific repository of universities and research institutes in Indonesia.The increasing popularity of the RAMA Repository leads to security issues,including the two most widespread,vulnerable attacks i.e.,Structured Query Language(SQL)injection and cross-site scripting(XSS)attacks.An attacker gaining access to data and performing unauthorized data modifications is extremely dangerous.This paper aims to provide an attack detection system for securing the repository portal from the abovementioned attacks.The proposed system combines a Long Short–Term Memory and Principal Component Analysis(LSTM-PCA)model as a classifier.This model can effectively solve the vanishing gradient problem caused by excessive positive samples.The experiment results show that the proposed system achieves an accuracy of 96.85%using an 80%:20%ratio of training data and testing data.The rationale for this best achievement is that the LSTM’s Forget Gate works very well as the PCA supplies only selected features that are significantly relevant to the attacks’patterns.The Forget Gate in LSTM is responsible for deciding which information should be kept for computing the cell state and which one is not relevant and can be discarded.In addition,the LSTM’s Input Gate assists in finding out crucial information and stores specific relevant data in the memory.

Observation points classifier ensemble for high-dimensional imbalanced classification

In this paper,an Observation Points Classifier Ensemble(OPCE)algorithm is proposed to deal with High-Dimensional Imbalanced Classification(HDIC)problems based on data processed using the Multi-Dimensional Scaling(MDS)feature extraction technique.First,dimensionality of the original imbalanced data is reduced using MDS so that distances between any two different samples are preserved as well as possible.Second,a novel OPCE algorithm is applied to classify imbalanced samples by placing optimised observation points in a low-dimensional data space.Third,optimization of the observation point mappings is carried out to obtain a reliable assessment of the unknown samples.Exhaustive experiments have been conducted to evaluate the feasibility,rationality,and effectiveness of the proposed OPCE algorithm using seven benchmark HDIC data sets.Experimental results show that(1)the OPCE algorithm can be trained faster on low-dimensional imbalanced data than on high-dimensional data;(2)the OPCE algorithm can correctly identify samples as the number of optimised observation points is increased;and(3)statistical analysis reveals that OPCE yields better HDIC performances on the selected data sets in comparison with eight other HDIC algorithms.This demonstrates that OPCE is a viable algorithm to deal with HDIC problems.

BS-SC Model:A Novel Method for Predicting Child Abuse Using Borderline-SMOTE Enabled Stacking Classifier

For a long time,legal entities have developed and used crime prediction methodologies.The techniques are frequently updated based on crime evaluations and responses from scientific communities.There is a need to develop type-based crime prediction methodologies that can be used to address issues at the subgroup level.Child maltreatment is not adequately addressed because children are voiceless.As a result,the possibility of developing a model for predicting child abuse was investigated in this study.Various exploratory analysis methods were used to examine the city of Chicago’s child abuse events.The data set was balanced using the Borderline-SMOTE technique,and then a stacking classifier was employed to ensemble multiple algorithms to predict various types of child abuse.The proposed approach successfully predicted crime types with 93%of accuracy,precision,recall,and F1-Score.The AUC value of the same was 0.989.However,when compared to the Extra Trees model(17.55),which is the second best,the proposed model’s execution time was significantly longer(476.63).We discovered that Machine Learning methods effectively evaluate the demographic and spatial-temporal characteristics of the crimes and predict the occurrences of various subtypes of child abuse.The results indicated that the proposed Borderline-SMOTE enabled Stacking Classifier model(BS-SC Model)would be effective in the real-time child abuse prediction and prevention process.

Design of Hierarchical Classifier to Improve Speech Emotion Recognition

Automatic Speech Emotion Recognition(SER)is used to recognize emotion from speech automatically.Speech Emotion recognition is working well in a laboratory environment but real-time emotion recognition has been influenced by the variations in gender,age,the cultural and acoustical background of the speaker.The acoustical resemblance between emotional expressions further increases the complexity of recognition.Many recent research works are concentrated to address these effects individually.Instead of addressing every influencing attribute individually,we would like to design a system,which reduces the effect that arises on any factor.We propose a two-level Hierarchical classifier named Interpreter of responses(IR).Thefirst level of IR has been realized using Support Vector Machine(SVM)and Gaussian Mixer Model(GMM)classifiers.In the second level of IR,a discriminative SVM classifier has been trained and tested with meta information offirst-level classifiers along with the input acoustical feature vector which is used in primary classifiers.To train the system with a corpus of versatile nature,an integrated emotion corpus has been composed using emotion samples of 5 speech corpora,namely;EMO-DB,IITKGP-SESC,SAVEE Corpus,Spanish emotion corpus,CMU's Woogle corpus.The hierarchical classifier has been trained and tested using MFCC and Low-Level Descriptors(LLD).The empirical analysis shows that the proposed classifier outperforms the traditional classifiers.The proposed ensemble design is very generic and can be adapted even when the number and nature of features change.Thefirst-level classifiers GMM or SVM may be replaced with any other learning algorithm.
