Summary

Machine learning has been a subject of increasing concern to scholars, both from academia and business, over the past few years. Unlike conventional learning methods, machine learning methods suggest the potential to learn and develop very broad sets of data. Machine learning methods in computer vision, natural language analysis, robots, and other fields have gained considerable popularity in numerous activities. Recent years have seen a tremendous advancement of the principle of machine learning and numerous implementations in the general area of artificial intelligence, including neural network architecture, automation, statistical analysis and deep learning.

Though machine learning has been extensively explored in recent decades, the use of machine learning strategies in intelligent systems faces several complexities. Well first of all, machine learning methods need a vast and varied amount of data as input to frameworks and provide a wide range of training requirements. Secondly, the teaching of machine learning models is quick to slip into overfitting issues. Furthermore, because machine learning systems have uncertainty or backbox problems, it is challenging to consider how a given algorithm makes a judgment, which is essential in certain fields such as financial trading or medical diagnosis.

    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Machine Learning-based Intelligent Systems: Theories, Algorithms, and Applications)
    Abstract This study proposes an architecture for the prediction of extremist human behaviour from projected suicide bombings. By linking ‘dots’ of police data comprising scattered information of people, groups, logistics, locations, communication, and spatiotemporal characters on different social media groups, the proposed architecture will spawn beneficial information. This useful information will, in turn, help the police both in predicting potential terrorist events and in investigating previous events. Furthermore, this architecture will aid in the identification of criminals and their associates and handlers. Terrorism is psychological warfare, which, in the broadest sense, can be defined as the utilisation of deliberate violence for… More >

    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Machine Learning-based Intelligent Systems: Theories, Algorithms, and Applications)
    Abstract Image inpainting is an interesting technique in computer vision and artificial intelligence for plausibly filling in blank areas of an image by referring to their surrounding areas. Although its performance has been improved significantly using diverse convolutional neural network (CNN)-based models, these models have difficulty filling in some erased areas due to the kernel size of the CNN. If the kernel size is too narrow for the blank area, the models cannot consider the entire surrounding area, only partial areas or none at all. This issue leads to typical problems of inpainting, such as pixel reconstruction failure and unintended filling.… More >

    Abstract Internet of Everything (IoE) indicates a fantastic vision of the future, where everything is connected to the internet, providing intelligent services and facilitating decision making. IoE is the collection of static and moving objects able to coordinate and communicate with each other. The moving objects may consist of ground segments and flying segments. The speed of flying segment e.g., Unmanned Ariel Vehicles (UAVs) may high as compared to ground segment objects. The topology changes occur very frequently due to high speed nature of objects in UAV-enabled IoE (Ue-IoE). The routing maintenance overhead may increase when scaling the Ue-IoE (number of… More >

    Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is where almost anything can be controlled and managed remotely by means of sensors. Although the IoT evolution led to quality of life enhancement, many of its devices are insecure. The lack of robust key management systems, efficient identity authentication, low fault tolerance, and many other issues lead to IoT devices being easily targeted by attackers. In this paper we propose a new authentication protocol called Authenblue that improve the authentication process of IoT devices and Coordinators of Personal Area Network (CPANs) in an Industrial IoT (IIoT) environment. This study proposed Authenblue protocol as a… More >
