Abstract Cybercriminals often use fraudulent emails and fictitious email accounts to deceive individuals into disclosing confidential information, a practice known as phishing. This study utilizes three distinct methodologies, Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency, Word2Vec, and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers, to evaluate the effectiveness of various machine learning algorithms in detecting phishing attacks. The study uses feature extraction methods to assess the performance of Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, and Multilayer Perceptron algorithms. The best results for each classifier using Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency were Multilayer Perceptron (Precision: 0.98, Recall: 0.98, F1-score: 0.98, Accuracy: 0.98). Word2Vec’s More >

Abstract Phishing attacks present a serious threat to enterprise systems, requiring advanced detection techniques to protect sensitive data. This study introduces a phishing email detection framework that combines Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) for feature extraction and CNN for classification, specifically designed for enterprise information systems. BERT’s linguistic capabilities are used to extract key features from email content, which are then processed by a convolutional neural network (CNN) model optimized for phishing detection. Achieving an accuracy of 97.5%, our proposed model demonstrates strong proficiency in identifying phishing emails. This approach represents a significant advancement in More >

Abstract Cyberbullying, a critical concern for digital safety, necessitates effective linguistic analysis tools that can navigate the complexities of language use in online spaces. To tackle this challenge, our study introduces a new approach employing Bidirectional Encoder Representations from the Transformers (BERT) base model (cased), originally pretrained in English. This model is uniquely adapted to recognize the intricate nuances of Arabic online communication, a key aspect often overlooked in conventional cyberbullying detection methods. Our model is an end-to-end solution that has been fine-tuned on a diverse dataset of Arabic social media (SM) tweets showing a notable… More >

Abstract Cyberbullying is a form of harassment or bullying that takes place online or through digital devices like smartphones, computers, or tablets. It can occur through various channels, such as social media, text messages, online forums, or gaming platforms. Cyberbullying involves using technology to intentionally harm, harass, or intimidate others and may take different forms, including exclusion, doxing, impersonation, harassment, and cyberstalking. Unfortunately, due to the rapid growth of malicious internet users, this social phenomenon is becoming more frequent, and there is a huge need to address this issue. Therefore, the main goal of the research… More >

Abstract Recent advancements in natural language processing have given rise to numerous pre-training language models in question-answering systems. However, with the constant evolution of algorithms, data, and computing power, the increasing size and complexity of these models have led to increased training costs and reduced efficiency. This study aims to minimize the inference time of such models while maintaining computational performance. It also proposes a novel Distillation model for PAL-BERT (DPAL-BERT), specifically, employs knowledge distillation, using the PAL-BERT model as the teacher model to train two student models: DPAL-BERT-Bi and DPAL-BERT-C. This research enhances the dataset More >

Abstract Modern technological advancements have made social media an essential component of daily life. Social media allow individuals to share thoughts, emotions, and ideas. Sentiment analysis plays the function of evaluating whether the sentiment of the text is positive, negative, neutral, or any other personal emotion to understand the sentiment context of the text. Sentiment analysis is essential in business and society because it impacts strategic decision-making. Sentiment analysis involves challenges due to lexical variation, an unlabeled dataset, and text distance correlations. The execution time increases due to the sequential processing of the sequence models. However,… More >

Abstract Electricity theft is a widespread non-technical issue that has a negative impact on both power grids and electricity users. It hinders the economic growth of utility companies, poses electrical risks, and impacts the high energy costs borne by consumers. The development of smart grids is crucial for the identification of power theft since these systems create enormous amounts of data, including information on client consumption, which may be used to identify electricity theft using machine learning and deep learning techniques. Moreover, there also exist different solutions such as hardware-based solutions to detect electricity theft that… More >

Abstract Efforts to protect electric power systems from faults have commonly relied on the use of ultra-high frequency (UHF) antennas for detecting partial discharge (PD) as a common precursor to faults. However, the effectiveness of existing UHF antennas suffers from a number of challenges such as limited bandwidth, relatively large physical size, and low detection sensitivity. The present study addresses these issues by proposing a compact microstrip patch antenna with fixed dimensions of 100 mm × 100 mm × 1.6 mm. The results of computations yield an optimized antenna design consisting of 2nd-order Hilbert fractal units More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This study proposes a new flexible family of distributions called the Lambert-G family. The Lambert family is very flexible and exhibits desirable properties. Its three-parameter special sub-models provide all significant monotonic and non-monotonic failure rates. A special sub-model of the Lambert family called the Lambert-Lomax (LL) distribution is investigated. General expressions for the LL statistical properties are established. Characterizations of the LL distribution are addressed mathematically based on its hazard function. The estimation of the LL parameters is discussed using six estimation methods. The performance of this estimation method is explored through simulation experiments. The More >

Abstract Named Entity Recognition (NER) stands as a fundamental task within the field of biomedical text mining, aiming to extract specific types of entities such as genes, proteins, and diseases from complex biomedical texts and categorize them into predefined entity types. This process can provide basic support for the automatic construction of knowledge bases. In contrast to general texts, biomedical texts frequently contain numerous nested entities and local dependencies among these entities, presenting significant challenges to prevailing NER models. To address these issues, we propose a novel Chinese nested biomedical NER model based on RoBERTa and Global Pointer… More >
