Summary

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have been put thoroughly into practice, with more promotion being given, to enhance continuity, cybersecurity in cloud computing, Internet services, and the Internet-of-Things. Machine learning algorithms, such as AI, are used to track complex cyber threats that cannot be readily identified by conventional detection methods. It is important to explore the best ways to incorporate the suggested solutions to improve their accuracy while reducing their learning cost.

By far, the most difficult challenge is how to exploit AI and machine learning algorithms for improved safe service computation while maintaining the user's privacy. The robustness of AI and deep learning as well as the reliability and privacy of data is an important part of today's modern computing. This topic aims to determine the security issues of using AI to protect systems. To be able to enforce them in reality, privacy would have to be held throughout the implementation process.

In this special issue of the journal, we are finding groundbreaking applications and undisclosed work related to artificial intelligence and machine learning for more stable and privacy cleaning computing. By reflecting on the role of machine learning in information security, we are looking to discuss recent developments in the area of machine learning and privacy-preserving strategies. To make our computation more secure and confidential, we aim to experiment, conceptualize, and theorize about issues that include AI and machine learning for improved security and privacy of information.

    Abstract Electricity, being the most efficient secondary energy, contributes for a larger proportion of overall energy usage. Due to a lack of storage for energy resources, over supply will result in energy dissipation and substantial investment waste. Accurate electricity consumption prediction is vital because it allows for the preparation of potential power generation systems to satisfy the growing demands for electrical energy as well as: smart distributed grids, assessing the degree of socioeconomic growth, distributed system design, tariff plans, demand-side management, power generation planning, and providing electricity supply stability by balancing the amount of electricity produced and consumed.

    Abstract Timetabling problem is among the most difficult operational tasks and is an important step in raising industrial productivity, capability, and capacity. Such tasks are usually tackled using metaheuristics techniques that provide an intelligent way of suggesting solutions or decision-making. Swarm intelligence techniques including Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) have proved to be effective examples. Different recent experiments showed that the PSO algorithm is reliable for timetabling in many applications such as educational and personnel timetabling, machine scheduling, etc. However, having an optimal solution is extremely challenging but having a sub-optimal solution using heuristics or metaheuristics is guaranteed.

    Abstract Medical Image Analysis (MIA) is one of the active research areas in computer vision, where brain tumor detection is the most investigated domain among researchers due to its deadly nature. Brain tumor detection in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assists radiologists for better analysis about the exact size and location of the tumor. However, the existing systems may not efficiently classify the human brain tumors with significantly higher accuracies. In addition, smart and easily implementable approaches are unavailable in 2D and 3D medical images, which is the main problem in detecting the tumor. In this paper, we investigate various deep learning… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.71, No.3, pp. 5511-5521, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.023278
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Machine Learning Empowered Secure Computing for Intelligent Systems)
    Abstract Automatic speaker recognition (ASR) systems are the field of Human-machine interaction and scientists have been using feature extraction and feature matching methods to analyze and synthesize these signals. One of the most commonly used methods for feature extraction is Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs). Recent researches show that MFCCs are successful in processing the voice signal with high accuracies. MFCCs represents a sequence of voice signal-specific features. This experimental analysis is proposed to distinguish Turkish speakers by extracting the MFCCs from the speech recordings. Since the human perception of sound is not linear, after the filterbank step in the MFCC… More >

    Shaleeza Sohail, Atif Alvi, Aasia Khanum
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.71, No.2, pp. 3211-3225, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.023560
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Machine Learning Empowered Secure Computing for Intelligent Systems)
    Abstract Major issues currently restricting the use of learning analytics are the lack of interpretability and adaptability of the machine learning models used in this domain. Interpretability makes it easy for the stakeholders to understand the working of these models and adaptability makes it easy to use the same model for multiple cohorts and courses in educational institutions. Recently, some models in learning analytics are constructed with the consideration of interpretability but their interpretability is not quantified. However, adaptability is not specifically considered in this domain. This paper presents a new framework based on hybrid statistical fuzzy theory to overcome these… More >

    Defocus Blur Segmentation Using Local Binary Patterns with Adaptive Threshold

    Usman Ali, Muhammad Tariq Mahmood
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.71, No.1, pp. 1597-1611, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.022219
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Machine Learning Empowered Secure Computing for Intelligent Systems)
    Abstract Enormous methods have been proposed for the detection and segmentation of blur and non-blur regions of the images. Due to the limited available information about blur type, scenario and the level of blurriness, detection and segmentation is a challenging task. Hence, the performance of the blur measure operator is an essential factor and needs improvement to attain perfection. In this paper, we propose an effective blur measure based on local binary pattern (LBP) with adaptive threshold for blur detection. The sharpness metric developed based on LBP used a fixed threshold irrespective of the type and level of blur, that may… More >

    Abstract In machine learning, sentiment analysis is a technique to find and analyze the sentiments hidden in the text. For sentiment analysis, annotated data is a basic requirement. Generally, this data is manually annotated. Manual annotation is time consuming, costly and laborious process. To overcome these resource constraints this research has proposed a fully automated annotation technique for aspect level sentiment analysis. Dataset is created from the reviews of ten most popular songs on YouTube. Reviews of five aspects—voice, video, music, lyrics and song, are extracted. An N-Gram based technique is proposed. Complete dataset consists of 369436 reviews that took 173.53… More >
