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.

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%).

Convolutional Deep Belief Network Based Short Text Classification on Arabic Corpus

With a population of 440 million,Arabic language users form the rapidly growing language group on the web in terms of the number of Internet users.11 million monthly Twitter users were active and posted nearly 27.4 million tweets every day.In order to develop a classification system for the Arabic lan-guage there comes a need of understanding the syntactic framework of the words thereby manipulating and representing the words for making their classification effective.In this view,this article introduces a Dolphin Swarm Optimization with Convolutional Deep Belief Network for Short Text Classification(DSOCDBN-STC)model on Arabic Corpus.The presented DSOCDBN-STC model majorly aims to classify Arabic short text in social media.The presented DSOCDBN-STC model encompasses preprocessing and word2vec word embedding at the preliminary stage.Besides,the DSOCDBN-STC model involves CDBN based classification model for Arabic short text.At last,the DSO technique can be exploited for optimal modification of the hyperparameters related to the CDBN method.To establish the enhanced performance of the DSOCDBN-STC model,a wide range of simulations have been performed.The simulation results con-firmed the supremacy of the DSOCDBN-STC model over existing models with improved accuracy of 99.26%.

Gate-Attention and Dual-End Enhancement Mechanism for Multi-Label Text Classification

In the realm of Multi-Label Text Classification(MLTC),the dual challenges of extracting rich semantic features from text and discerning inter-label relationships have spurred innovative approaches.Many studies in semantic feature extraction have turned to external knowledge to augment the model’s grasp of textual content,often overlooking intrinsic textual cues such as label statistical features.In contrast,these endogenous insights naturally align with the classification task.In our paper,to complement this focus on intrinsic knowledge,we introduce a novel Gate-Attention mechanism.This mechanism adeptly integrates statistical features from the text itself into the semantic fabric,enhancing the model’s capacity to understand and represent the data.Additionally,to address the intricate task of mining label correlations,we propose a Dual-end enhancement mechanism.This mechanism effectively mitigates the challenges of information loss and erroneous transmission inherent in traditional long short term memory propagation.We conducted an extensive battery of experiments on the AAPD and RCV1-2 datasets.These experiments serve the dual purpose of confirming the efficacy of both the Gate-Attention mechanism and the Dual-end enhancement mechanism.Our final model unequivocally outperforms the baseline model,attesting to its robustness.These findings emphatically underscore the imperativeness of taking into account not just external knowledge but also the inherent intricacies of textual data when crafting potent MLTC models.

Automated Arabic Text Classification Using Hyperparameter Tuned Hybrid Deep Learning Model

The text classification process has been extensively investigated in various languages,especially English.Text classification models are vital in several Natural Language Processing(NLP)applications.The Arabic language has a lot of significance.For instance,it is the fourth mostly-used language on the internet and the sixth official language of theUnitedNations.However,there are few studies on the text classification process in Arabic.A few text classification studies have been published earlier in the Arabic language.In general,researchers face two challenges in the Arabic text classification process:low accuracy and high dimensionality of the features.In this study,an Automated Arabic Text Classification using Hyperparameter Tuned Hybrid Deep Learning(AATC-HTHDL)model is proposed.The major goal of the proposed AATC-HTHDL method is to identify different class labels for the Arabic text.The first step in the proposed model is to pre-process the input data to transform it into a useful format.The Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency(TF-IDF)model is applied to extract the feature vectors.Next,the Convolutional Neural Network with Recurrent Neural Network(CRNN)model is utilized to classify the Arabic text.In the final stage,the Crow Search Algorithm(CSA)is applied to fine-tune the CRNN model’s hyperparameters,showing the work’s novelty.The proposed AATCHTHDL model was experimentally validated under different parameters and the outcomes established the supremacy of the proposed AATC-HTHDL model over other approaches.

A Novel Efficient and Effective Preprocessing Algorithm for Text Classification

Text classification is an essential task of natural language processing. Preprocessing, which determines the representation of text features, is one of the key steps of text classification architecture. It proposed a novel efficient and effective preprocessing algorithm with three methods for text classification combining the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit algorithm to perform the classification. The main idea of the novel preprocessing strategy is that it combined stopword removal and/or regular filtering with tokenization and lowercase conversion, which can effectively reduce the feature dimension and improve the text feature matrix quality. Simulation tests on the 20 newsgroups dataset show that compared with the existing state-of-the-art method, the new method reduces the number of features by 19.85%, 34.35%, 26.25% and 38.67%, improves accuracy by 7.36%, 8.8%, 5.71% and 7.73%, and increases the speed of text classification by 17.38%, 25.64%, 23.76% and 33.38% on the four data, respectively.

Question-Answering Pair Matching Based on Question Classification and Ensemble Sentence Embedding

Question-answering(QA)models find answers to a given question.The necessity of automatically finding answers is increasing because it is very important and challenging from the large-scale QA data sets.In this paper,we deal with the QA pair matching approach in QA models,which finds the most relevant question and its recommended answer for a given question.Existing studies for the approach performed on the entire dataset or datasets within a category that the question writer manually specifies.In contrast,we aim to automatically find the category to which the question belongs by employing the text classification model and to find the answer corresponding to the question within the category.Due to the text classification model,we can effectively reduce the search space for finding the answers to a given question.Therefore,the proposed model improves the accuracy of the QA matching model and significantly reduces the model inference time.Furthermore,to improve the performance of finding similar sentences in each category,we present an ensemble embedding model for sentences,improving the performance compared to the individual embedding models.Using real-world QA data sets,we evaluate the performance of the proposed QA matching model.As a result,the accuracy of our final ensemble embedding model based on the text classification model is 81.18%,which outperforms the existing models by 9.81%∼14.16%point.Moreover,in terms of the model inference speed,our model is faster than the existing models by 2.61∼5.07 times due to the effective reduction of search spaces by the text classification model.

Ensemble Deep Learning Framework for Situational Aspects-Based Annotation and Classification of International Student’s Tweets during COVID-19

As the COVID-19 pandemic swept the globe,social media plat-forms became an essential source of information and communication for many.International students,particularly,turned to Twitter to express their struggles and hardships during this difficult time.To better understand the sentiments and experiences of these international students,we developed the Situational Aspect-Based Annotation and Classification(SABAC)text mining framework.This framework uses a three-layer approach,combining baseline Deep Learning(DL)models with Machine Learning(ML)models as meta-classifiers to accurately predict the sentiments and aspects expressed in tweets from our collected Student-COVID-19 dataset.Using the pro-posed aspect2class annotation algorithm,we labeled bulk unlabeled tweets according to their contained aspect terms.However,we also recognized the challenges of reducing data’s high dimensionality and sparsity to improve performance and annotation on unlabeled datasets.To address this issue,we proposed the Volatile Stopwords Filtering(VSF)technique to reduce sparsity and enhance classifier performance.The resulting Student-COVID Twitter dataset achieved a sophisticated accuracy of 93.21%when using the random forest as a meta-classifier.Through testing on three benchmark datasets,we found that the SABAC ensemble framework performed exceptionally well.Our findings showed that international students during the pandemic faced various issues,including stress,uncertainty,health concerns,financial stress,and difficulties with online classes and returning to school.By analyzing and summarizing these annotated tweets,decision-makers can better understand and address the real-time problems international students face during the ongoing pandemic.

Feature selection algorithm for text classification based on improved mutual information

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 enhance the MI value of negative characteristics and feature's frequency,supports the concept of concentration degree and dispersion degree.In accordance with the concept of concentration degree and dispersion degree,formulas which embody concentration degree and dispersion degree were constructed and the improved mutual information was implemented based on these.In this paper,the feature selection algorithm was applied based on improved mutual information to a text classifier based on Biomimetic Pattern Recognition and it was compared with several other feature selection methods.The experimental results showed that the improved mutual information feature selection method greatly enhances the performance compared with traditional mutual information feature selection methods and the performance is better than that of information gain.Through the introduction of the concept of concentration degree and dispersion degree,the improved mutual information feature selection method greatly improves the performance of text classification system.

Supervised Learning Algorithm on Unstructured Documents for the Classification of Job Offers: Case of Cameroun

Nowadays, in data science, supervised learning algorithms are frequently used to perform text classification. However, African textual data, in general, have been studied very little using these methods. This article notes the particularity of the data and measures the level of precision of predictions of naive Bayes algorithms, decision tree, and SVM (Support Vector Machine) on a corpus of computer jobs taken on the internet. This is due to the data imbalance problem in machine learning. However, this problem essentially focuses on the distribution of the number of documents in each class or subclass. Here, we delve deeper into the problem to the word count distribution in a set of documents. The results are compared with those obtained on a set of French IT offers. It appears that the precision of the classification varies between 88% and 90% for French offers against 67%, at most, for Cameroonian offers. The contribution of this study is twofold. Indeed, it clearly shows that, in a similar job category, job offers on the internet in Cameroon are more unstructured compared to those available in France, for example. Moreover, it makes it possible to emit a strong hypothesis according to which sets of texts having a symmetrical distribution of the number of words obtain better results with supervised learning algorithms.

Short Text Classification Based on Improved ITC

The long text classification has got great achievements, but short text classification still needs to be perfected. In this paper, at first, we describe why we select the ITC feature selection algorithm not the conventional TFIDF and the superiority of the ITC compared with the TFIDF, then we conclude the flaws of the conventional ITC algorithm, and then we present an improved ITC feature selection algorithm based on the characteristics of short text classification while combining the concepts of the Documents Distribution Entropy with the Position Distribution Weight. The improved ITC algorithm conforms to the actual situation of the short text classification. The experimental results show that the performance based on the new algorithm was much better than that based on the traditional TFIDF and ITC.
