Abstract Speech is easily leaked imperceptibly. When people use their phones, the personal voice assistant is constantly listening and waiting to be activated. Private content in speech may be maliciously extracted through automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology by some applications on phone devices. To guarantee that the recognized speech content is accurate, speech enhancement technology is used to denoise the input speech. Speech enhancement technology has developed rapidly along with deep neural networks (DNNs), but adversarial examples can cause DNNs to fail. Considering that the vulnerability of DNN can be used to protect the privacy in… More >

Abstract Cloud storage is essential for managing user data to store and retrieve from the distributed data centre. The storage service is distributed as pay a service for accessing the size to collect the data. Due to the massive amount of data stored in the data centre containing similar information and file structures remaining in multi-copy, duplication leads to increase storage space. The potential deduplication system doesn’t make efficient data reduction because of inaccuracy in finding similar data analysis. It creates a complex nature to increase the storage consumption under cost. To resolve this problem, this… More >

Abstract Increasing the coverage and capacity of cellular networks by deploying additional base stations is one of the fundamental objectives of fifth-generation (5G) networks. However, it leads to performance degradation and huge spectral consumption due to the massive densification of connected devices and simultaneous access demand. To meet these access conditions and improve Quality of Service, resource allocation (RA) should be carefully optimized. Traditionally, RA problems are nonconvex optimizations, which are performed using heuristic methods, such as genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization, and simulated annealing. However, the application of these approaches remains computationally expensive and unattractive… More >

Abstract The 60-meter band range is tremendously useful in telecommunication, military and governmental applications. The I. T. U. (International Telecommunication Union) required isolationism to former radio frequency services because the various frequency bands are extremely overloaded. The allocation of new frequency bands are a lengthy procedure as well as time taking. As a result, the researchers use bidirectional, amateur radio frequency communication for 60-meter band, usually the frequency slot of 5250–5450 KHz, although the entire band is not essentially obtainable for all countries. For transmission and reception of these frequencies, a local oscillator is used in… More >

Abstract Unlike external attacks, insider threats arise from legitimate users who belong to the organization. These individuals may be a potential threat for hostile behavior depending on their motives. For insider detection, many intrusion detection systems learn and prevent known scenarios, but because malicious behavior has similar patterns to normal behavior, in reality, these systems can be evaded. Furthermore, because insider threats share a feature space similar to normal behavior, identifying them by detecting anomalies has limitations. This study proposes an improved anomaly detection methodology for insider threats that occur in cybersecurity in which a discrete… More >

This paper proposes a novel approach to detecting abnormal network traffic using a bidirectional long short-term memory (LSTM) network in combination with the ensemble learning technique. First, the binary classification module was used to detect the current abnormal flow. Then, the abnormal flows were fed into the multilayer classification module to identify the specific type of flow. In this research, a deep learning bidirectional LSTM model, in combination with the convolutional neural network and attention technique, was deployed to identify a specific attack. More >

Abstract As the COVID-19 epidemic spread across the globe, people around the world were advised or mandated to wear masks in public places to prevent its spreading further. In some cases, not wearing a mask could result in a fine. To monitor mask wearing, and to prevent the spread of future epidemics, this study proposes an image recognition system consisting of a camera, an infrared thermal array sensor, and a convolutional neural network trained in mask recognition. The infrared sensor monitors body temperature and displays the results in real-time on a liquid crystal display screen. The More >

Abstract LIDAR point cloud-based 3D object detection aims to sense the surrounding environment by anchoring objects with the Bounding Box (BBox). However, under the three-dimensional space of autonomous driving scenes, the previous object detection methods, due to the pre-processing of the original LIDAR point cloud into voxels or pillars, lose the coordinate information of the original point cloud, slow detection speed, and gain inaccurate bounding box positioning. To address the issues above, this study proposes a new two-stage network structure to extract point cloud features directly by PointNet++, which effectively preserves the original point cloud coordinate… More >

Abstract Deep neural networks are gaining importance and popularity in applications and services. Due to the enormous number of learnable parameters and datasets, the training of neural networks is computationally costly. Parallel and distributed computation-based strategies are used to accelerate this training process. Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) are a recent technological achievement in deep learning. These generative models are computationally expensive because a GAN consists of two neural networks and trains on enormous datasets. Typically, a GAN is trained on a single server. Conventional deep learning accelerator designs are challenged by the unique properties of GAN,… More >

Abstract The hesitancy fuzzy graphs (HFGs), an extension of fuzzy graphs, are useful tools for dealing with ambiguity and uncertainty in issues involving decision-making (DM). This research implements a correlation coefficient measure (CCM) to assess the strength of the association between HFGs in this article since CCMs have a high capacity to process and interpret data. The CCM that is proposed between the HFGs has better qualities than the existing ones. It lowers restrictions on the hesitant fuzzy elements’ length and may be used to establish whether the HFGs are connected negatively or favorably. Additionally, a… More >

Abstract Diabetes problems can lead to an eye disease called Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), which permanently damages the blood vessels in the retina. If not treated early, DR becomes a significant reason for blindness. To identify the DR and determine the stages, medical tests are very labor-intensive, expensive, and time-consuming. To address the issue, a hybrid deep and machine learning technique-based autonomous diagnostic system is provided in this paper. Our proposal is based on lesion segmentation of the fundus images based on the LuNet network. Then a Refined Attention Pyramid Network (RAPNet) is used for extracting global… More >

Abstract Many types of research focus on utilizing Palmprint recognition in user identification and authentication. The Palmprint is one of biometric authentication (something you are) invariable during a person’s life and needs careful protection during enrollment into different biometric authentication systems. Accuracy and irreversibility are critical requirements for securing the Palmprint template during enrollment and verification. This paper proposes an innovative HAMTE neural network model that contains Hetero-Associative Memory for Palmprint template translation and projection using matrix multiplication and dot product multiplication. A HAMTE-Siamese network is constructed, which accepts two Palmprint templates and predicts whether these… More >

Abstract Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure-less network that is comprised of a set of nodes that move randomly. In MANET, the overall performance is improved through multipath multicast routing to achieve the quality of service (quality of service). In this, different nodes are involved in the information data collection and transmission to the destination nodes in the network. The different nodes are combined and presented to achieve energy-efficient data transmission and classification of the nodes. The route identification and routing are established based on the data broadcast by the network nodes. In transmitting… More >

Abstract Autonomous platooning technology is regarded as one of the promising technologies for the future and the research is conducted actively. The autonomous platooning task generally requires highly complex computations so it is difficult to process only with the vehicle’s processing units. To solve this problem, there are many studies on task offloading technique which transfers complex tasks to their neighboring vehicles or computation nodes. However, the existing task offloading techniques which mainly use learning-based algorithms are difficult to respond to the real-time changing road environment due to their complexity. They are also challenging to process… More >

Abstract Gesture recognition technology enables machines to read human gestures and has significant application prospects in the fields of human-computer interaction and sign language translation. Existing researches usually use convolutional neural networks to extract features directly from raw gesture data for gesture recognition, but the networks are affected by much interference information in the input data and thus fit to some unimportant features. In this paper, we proposed a novel method for encoding spatio-temporal information, which can enhance the key features required for gesture recognition, such as shape, structure, contour, position and hand motion of gestures,… More >

Abstract In a vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), a massive quantity of data needs to be transmitted on a large scale in shorter time durations. At the same time, vehicles exhibit high velocity, leading to more vehicle disconnections. Both of these characteristics result in unreliable data communication in VANET. A vehicle clustering algorithm clusters the vehicles in groups employed in VANET to enhance network scalability and connection reliability. Clustering is considered one of the possible solutions for attaining effectual interaction in VANETs. But one such difficulty was reducing the cluster number under increasing transmitting nodes.

Abstract The byte stream is widely used in malware detection due to its independence of reverse engineering. However, existing methods based on the byte stream implement an indiscriminate feature extraction strategy, which ignores the byte function difference in different segments and fails to achieve targeted feature extraction for various byte semantic representation modes, resulting in byte semantic confusion. To address this issue, an enhanced adversarial byte function associated method for malware backdoor attack is proposed in this paper by categorizing various function bytes into three functions involving structure, code, and data.

Abstract This research work develops new and better prognostic markers for predicting Childhood MedulloBlastoma (CMB) using a well-defined deep learning architecture. A deep learning architecture could be designed using ideas from image processing and neural networks to predict CMB using histopathological images. First, a convolution process transforms the histopathological image into deep features that uniquely describe it using different two-dimensional filters of various sizes. A 10-layer deep learning architecture is designed to extract deep features. The introduction of pooling layers in the architecture reduces the feature dimension. The extracted and dimension-reduced deep features from the arrangement More >

Abstract To prevent economic, social, and ecological damage, fire detection and management at an early stage are significant yet challenging. Although computationally complex networks have been developed, attention has been largely focused on improving accuracy, rather than focusing on real-time fire detection. Hence, in this study, the authors present an efficient fire detection framework termed E-FireNet for real-time detection in a complex surveillance environment. The proposed model architecture is inspired by the VGG16 network, with significant modifications including the entire removal of Block-5 and tweaking of the convolutional layers of Block-4.
