    Abstract COVID-19 was first discovered in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and has since spread worldwide. An automated and fast diagnosis system needs to be developed for early and effective COVID-19 diagnosis. Hence, we propose two- and three-classifier diagnosis systems for classifying COVID-19 cases using transfer-learning techniques. These systems can classify X-ray images into three categories: healthy, COVID-19, and pneumonia cases. We used two X-ray image datasets (DATASET-1 and DATASET-2) collected from state-of-the-art studies and train the systems using deep learning architectures, such as VGG-19, NASNet, and MobileNet2, on these datasets. According to the validation and testing results, our proposed diagnosis… More >

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.29, No.3, pp. 669-684, 2021, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2021.018405
    Abstract Software Defect Prediction (SDP) is a dynamic research field in the software industry. A quality software product results in customer satisfaction. However, the higher the number of user requirements, the more complex will be the software, with a correspondingly higher probability of failure. SDP is a challenging task requiring smart algorithms that can estimate the quality of a software component before it is handed over to the end-user. In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach to address this particular issue. Our approach combines the feature selection capability of the Optimized Artificial Immune Networks (Opt-aiNet) algorithm with benchmark machine-learning classifiers… More >

Node mobility affects connection reliability, and node resource constraints can lead to congestion, which makes the design of a routing MANET protocol with quality of service (QoS) very difficult. An adaptive clustering reputation model (ACRM) method is proposed to improve energy efficiency with a cluster-based framework. The proposed framework is employed to overcome the problems of data protection, privacy, and policy. The proposed ACRM-MRT approach that includes direct and indirect node trust computation is introduced along with the master recovery timer (MRT) for… More >

    Abstract Recently, researchers have shown that coverless information hiding technology can effectively resist the existing steganalysis tools. However, the robustness of existing coverless text information hiding methods is generally poor. To solve this problem, we propose a robust text coverless information hiding method based on multi-index. Firstly, the sender segment the secret information into several keywords. Secondly, we transform keywords into keyword IDs by the word index table and introduce a random increment factor to control. Then, search all texts containing the keyword ID in the big data text, and use the robust text search algorithm to find multiple texts. Finally,… More >
