Abstract Spam emails remain one of the most persistent threats to digital communication, necessitating effective detection solutions that safeguard both individuals and organisations. We propose a spam email classification framework that uses Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) for contextual feature extraction and a multiple-window Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for classification. To identify semantic nuances in email content, BERT embeddings are used, and CNN filters extract discriminative n-gram patterns at various levels of detail, enabling accurate spam identification. The proposed model outperformed Word2Vec-based baselines on a sample of 5728 labelled emails, achieving an accuracy of 98.69%, More >

Abstract Message structure reconstruction is a critical task in protocol reverse engineering, aiming to recover protocol field structures without access to source code. It enables important applications in network security, including malware analysis and protocol fuzzing. However, existing methods suffer from inaccurate field boundary delineation and lack hierarchical relationship recovery, resulting in imprecise and incomplete reconstructions. In this paper, we propose ProRE, a novel method for reconstructing protocol field structures based on program execution slice embedding. ProRE extracts code slices from protocol parsing at runtime, converts them into embedding vectors using a data flow-sensitive assembly language model, More >

Abstract Temporal knowledge graph completion (TKGC), which merges temporal information into traditional static knowledge graph completion (SKGC), has garnered increasing attention recently. Among numerous emerging approaches, translation-based embedding models constitute a prominent approach in TKGC research. However, existing translation-based methods typically incorporate timestamps into entities or relations, rather than utilizing them independently. This practice fails to fully exploit the rich semantics inherent in temporal information, thereby weakening the expressive capability of models. To address this limitation, we propose embedding timestamps, like entities and relations, in one or more dedicated semantic spaces. After projecting all embeddings into… More >

Abstract Automated essay scoring (AES) systems have gained significant importance in educational settings, offering a scalable, efficient, and objective method for evaluating student essays. However, developing AES systems for Arabic poses distinct challenges due to the language’s complex morphology, diglossia, and the scarcity of annotated datasets. This paper presents a hybrid approach to Arabic AES by combining text-based, vector-based, and embedding-based similarity measures to improve essay scoring accuracy while minimizing the training data required. Using a large Arabic essay dataset categorized into thematic groups, the study conducted four experiments to evaluate the impact of feature selection,… More >

Abstract In shale gas reservoir stimulation, proppants are essential for sustaining fracture conductivity. However, increasing closing stress causes proppants to embed into the rock matrix, leading to a progressive decline in fracture permeability and conductivity. Furthermore, rock creep contributes to long-term reductions in fracture performance. To elucidate the combined effects of proppant embedding and rock creep on sustained conductivity, this study conducted controlled experiments examining conductivity decay in propped fractures under varying closing stresses, explicitly accounting for both mechanisms. An embedded discrete fracture model was developed to simulate reservoir production under different conductivity decay scenarios, while… More >

Abstract Multimodal sentiment analysis aims to understand emotions from text, speech, and video data. However, current methods often overlook the dominant role of text and suffer from feature loss during integration. Given the varying importance of each modality across different contexts, a central and pressing challenge in multimodal sentiment analysis lies in maximizing the use of rich intra-modal features while minimizing information loss during the fusion process. In response to these critical limitations, we propose a novel framework that integrates spatial position encoding and fusion embedding modules to address these issues. In our model, text is… More >

Abstract In the research and production of fluorinated materials, large volumes of unstructured textual data are generated, characterized by high heterogeneity and fragmentation. These issues hinder systematic knowledge integration and efficient utilization. Constructing a knowledge graph for fluorinated materials processing is essential for enabling structured knowledge management and intelligent applications. Among its core components, Named Entity Recognition (NER) plays an essential role, as its accuracy directly impacts relation extraction and semantic modeling, which ultimately affects the knowledge graph construction for fluorinated materials. However, NER in this domain faces challenges such as fuzzy entity boundaries, inconsistent terminology,… More >

Abstract Digital watermarking must balance imperceptibility, robustness, complexity, and security. To address the challenge of computational efficiency in trellis-based informed embedding, we propose a modified watermarking framework that integrates fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering into the generation off block codewords for labeling trellis arcs. The system incorporates a parallel trellis structure, controllable embedding parameters, and a novel informed embedding algorithm with reduced complexity. Two types of embedding schemes—memoryless and memory-based—are designed to flexibly trade-off between imperceptibility and robustness. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing approaches in bit error rate (BER) and computational complexity under More >

Abstract The escalating complexity and heterogeneity of modern energy systems—particularly in smart grid and distributed energy infrastructures—has intensified the need for intelligent and scalable security vulnerability classification. To address this challenge, we propose Vulnerability2Vec, a graph-embedding-based framework designed to enhance the automated classification of security vulnerabilities that threaten energy system resilience. Vulnerability2Vec converts Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) text explanations to semantic graphs, where nodes represent CVE IDs and key terms (nouns, verbs, and adjectives), and edges capture co-occurrence relationships. Then, it embeds the semantic graphs to a low-dimensional vector space with random-walk sampling and skip-gram More >

Abstract The exponential growth of over-the-top (OTT) entertainment has fueled a surge in content consumption across diverse formats, especially in regional Indian languages. With the Indian film industry producing over 1500 films annually in more than 20 languages, personalized recommendations are essential to highlight relevant content. To overcome the limitations of traditional recommender systems—such as static latent vectors, poor handling of cold-start scenarios, and the absence of uncertainty modeling—we propose a deep Collaborative Neural Generative Embedding (C-NGE) model. C-NGE dynamically learns user and item representations by integrating rating information and metadata features in a unified neural More >
