Detecting Malicious Uniform Resource Locators Using an Applied Intelligence Framework

The potential of text analytics is revealed by Machine Learning(ML)and Natural Language Processing(NLP)techniques.In this paper,we propose an NLP framework that is applied to multiple datasets to detect malicious Uniform Resource Locators(URLs).Three categories of features,both ML and Deep Learning(DL)algorithms and a ranking schema are included in the proposed framework.We apply frequency and prediction-based embeddings,such as hash vectorizer,Term Frequency-Inverse Dense Frequency(TF-IDF)and predictors,word to vector-word2vec(continuous bag of words,skip-gram)from Google,to extract features from text.Further,we apply more state-of-the-art methods to create vectorized features,such as GloVe.Additionally,feature engineering that is specific to URL structure is deployed to detect scams and other threats.For framework assessment,four ranking indicators are weighted:computational time and performance as accuracy,F1 score and type error II.For the computational time,we propose a new metric-Feature Building Time(FBT)as the cutting-edge feature builders(like doc2vec or GloVe)require more time.By applying the proposed assessment step,the skip-gram algorithm of word2vec surpasses other feature builders in performance.Additionally,eXtreme Gradient Boost(XGB)outperforms other classifiers.With this setup,we attain an accuracy of 99.5%and an F1 score of 0.99.

An Intelligent System for a Resource Allocation Problem Based on Fuzzy Reasoning

The development of the assistive abilities regarding the decision-making process o fan Intelligent Control System （ICS） like a fuzzy expert system implies the development of its functionality and its ability of specification. Fuzzy expert systems can model fuzzy controllers, i.e., the knowledge representation and the abilities of making decisions corresponding to fuzzy expert systems are much more complicated that in the case of standard fuzzy controllers. The expert system acts also as a supervisor, creating meta-level reasoning on a set of fuzzy controllers, in order to choose the best one for the management of the process. Knowledge Management Systems （KMSs） is a new development paradigm of Intelligent Systems which has resulted from a synergy between fuzzy sets, artificial neural networks, evolutionary computation, machine learning, etc., broadening computer science, physics, economics, engineering, mathematics. This paper presents, after a synergic new paradigm of intelligent systems, as a practical case study the fuzzy and temporal properties of knowledge formalism embedded in an ICS. We are not dealing high with level reasoning methods, because we think that real-time problems can only be solved by rather low-level reasoning. Solving the match-time predictability problem would allow us to build much more powerful reasoning techniques.

A three-stage approach for resilience-constrained scheduling of networked microgrids

This paper deals with optimal scheduling of networked microgrids(NMGs)considering resilience constraints.The proposed scheme attempts to mitigate the damaging impacts of electricity interruptions by effectively exploiting NMG capabilities.A three-stage framework is proposed.In Stage 1,the optimal scheduling of NMGs is studied through determining the power transaction between the NMGs and upstream network,the output power of distributed energy resources(DERs),commitment status of conventional DERs as well as demand-side reserves.In Stage 2,the decisions made at Stage 1 are realized considering uncertainties pertaining to renewable generation,market price,power consumption of loads,and unintentional islanding of NMGs from the upstream network and resynchronization.Stage 3 deals with uncertainties of unintentional islanding of each MG from the rest of islanded NMGs and resynchronization.The problem is formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming problem and its effectiveness is assured by simulation studies.
