Abstract The emergence of digital networks and the wide adoption of information on internet platforms have given rise to threats against users’ private information. Many intruders actively seek such private data either for sale or other inappropriate purposes. Similarly, national and international organizations have country-level and company-level private information that could be accessed by different network attacks. Therefore, the need for a Network Intruder Detection System (NIDS) becomes essential for protecting these networks and organizations. In the evolution of NIDS, Artificial Intelligence (AI) assisted tools and methods have been widely adopted to provide effective solutions. However,… More >

Abstract Pneumonia is an acute lung infection that has caused many fatalities globally. Radiologists often employ chest X-rays to identify pneumonia since they are presently the most effective imaging method for this purpose. Computer-aided diagnosis of pneumonia using deep learning techniques is widely used due to its effectiveness and performance. In the proposed method, the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) approach is used to eliminate the class imbalance in the X-ray dataset. To compensate for the paucity of accessible data, pre-trained transfer learning is used, and an ensemble Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model is developed. The More >

Abstract Every application in a smart city environment like the smart grid, health monitoring, security, and surveillance generates non-stationary data streams. Due to such nature, the statistical properties of data changes over time, leading to class imbalance and concept drift issues. Both these issues cause model performance degradation. Most of the current work has been focused on developing an ensemble strategy by training a new classifier on the latest data to resolve the issue. These techniques suffer while training the new classifier if the data is imbalanced. Also, the class imbalance ratio may change greatly from… More >

Abstract Cloud Computing (CC) is the preference of all information technology (IT) organizations as it offers pay-per-use based and flexible services to its users. But the privacy and security become the main hindrances in its achievement due to distributed and open architecture that is prone to intruders. Intrusion Detection System (IDS) refers to one of the commonly utilized system for detecting attacks on cloud. IDS proves to be an effective and promising technique, that identifies malicious activities and known threats by observing traffic data in computers, and warnings are given when such threats were identified.

Abstract The rapid advancements in the field of big data, wearables, Internet of Things (IoT), connected devices, and cloud environment find useful to improve the quality of healthcare services. Medical data classification using the data collected by the wearables and IoT devices can be used to determine the presence or absence of disease. The recently developed deep learning (DL) models can be used for several processes such as classification, natural language processing, etc. This study presents a bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) based convolutional neural network-gated recurrent unit (CNN-GRU) with class imbalance handling (CIH) model, named BFO-CNN-GRU-CIH… More >

Abstract For the classification problem in practice, one of the challenging issues is to obtain enough labeled data for training. Moreover, even if such labeled data has been sufficiently accumulated, most datasets often exhibit long-tailed distribution with heavy class imbalance, which results in a biased model towards a majority class. To alleviate such class imbalance, semi-supervised learning methods using additional unlabeled data have been considered. However, as a matter of course, the accuracy is much lower than that from supervised learning. In this study, under the assumption that additional unlabeled data is available, we propose the More >

Abstract Telecom industry relies on churn prediction models to retain their customers. These prediction models help in precise and right time recognition of future switching by a group of customers to other service providers. Retention not only contributes to the profit of an organization, but it is also important for upholding a position in the competitive market. In the past, numerous churn prediction models have been proposed, but the current models have a number of flaws that prevent them from being used in real-world large-scale telecom datasets. These schemes, fail to incorporate frequently changing requirements. Data… More >

Abstract With the rise of internet facilities, a greater number of people have started doing online transactions at an exponential rate in recent years as the online transaction system has eliminated the need of going to the bank physically for every transaction. However, the fraud cases have also increased causing the loss of money to the consumers. Hence, an effective fraud detection system is the need of the hour which can detect fraudulent transactions automatically in real-time. Generally, the genuine transactions are large in number than the fraudulent transactions which leads to the class imbalance problem.… More >
