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 Regular exercise is a crucial aspect of daily life, as it enables individuals to stay physically active, lowers the likelihood of developing illnesses, and enhances life expectancy. The recognition of workout actions in video streams holds significant importance in computer vision research, as it aims to enhance exercise adherence, enable instant recognition, advance fitness tracking technologies, and optimize fitness routines. However, existing action datasets often lack diversity and specificity for workout actions, hindering the development of accurate recognition models. To address this gap, the Workout Action Video dataset (WAVd) has been introduced as a significant… 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 The rapid expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) devices across various sectors is driven by steadily increasing demands for interconnected and smart technologies. Nevertheless, the surge in the number of IoT device has caught the attention of cyber hackers, as it provides them with expanded avenues to access valuable data. This has resulted in a myriad of security challenges, including information leakage, malware propagation, and financial loss, among others. Consequently, developing an intrusion detection system to identify both active and potential intrusion traffic in IoT networks is of paramount importance. In this paper, we propose… More >

Abstract This study proposes a pose estimation-convolutional neural network-bidirectional gated recurrent unit (PSE-CNN-BiGRU) fusion model for human posture recognition to address low accuracy issues in abnormal posture recognition due to the loss of some feature information and the deterioration of comprehensive performance in model detection in complex home environments. Firstly, the deep convolutional network is integrated with the Mediapipe framework to extract high-precision, multi-dimensional information from the key points of the human skeleton, thereby obtaining a human posture feature set. Thereafter, a double-layer BiGRU algorithm is utilized to extract multi-layer, bidirectional temporal features from the human… More >

Abstract In recent years, frequent network attacks have highlighted the importance of efficient detection methods for ensuring cyberspace security. This paper presents a novel intrusion detection system consisting of a data preprocessing stage and a deep learning model for accurately identifying network attacks. We have proposed four deep neural network models, which are constructed using architectures such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM), Bidirectional Gate Recurrent Unit (BiGRU), and Attention mechanism. These models have been evaluated for their detection performance on the NSL-KDD dataset.To enhance the compatibility between the data and the More >

Abstract Aiming at the problems of traditional dynamic weapon-target assignment algorithms in command decision-making, such as large computational amount, slow solution speed, and low calculation accuracy, combined with deep reinforcement learning theory, an improved Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient algorithm with dual noise and prioritized experience replay is proposed, which uses a double noise mechanism to expand the search range of the action, and introduces a priority experience playback mechanism to effectively achieve data utilization. Finally, the algorithm is simulated and validated on the ground-to-air countermeasures digital battlefield. The results of the experiment show that, under the… More >

Abstract Software-defined networking (SDN) enables the separation of control and data planes, allowing for centralized control and management of the network. Without adequate access control methods, the risk of unauthorized access to the network and its resources increases significantly. This can result in various security breaches. In addition, if authorized devices are attacked or controlled by hackers, they may turn into malicious devices, which can cause severe damage to the network if their abnormal behaviour goes undetected and their access privileges are not promptly restricted. To solve those problems, an anomaly detection and access control mechanism… More >

Abstract Recently, multimodal sentiment analysis has increasingly attracted attention with the popularity of complementary data streams, which has great potential to surpass unimodal sentiment analysis. One challenge of multimodal sentiment analysis is how to design an efficient multimodal feature fusion strategy. Unfortunately, existing work always considers feature-level fusion or decision-level fusion, and few research works focus on hybrid fusion strategies that contain feature-level fusion and decision-level fusion. To improve the performance of multimodal sentiment analysis, we present a novel multimodal sentiment analysis model using BiGRU and attention-based hybrid fusion strategy (BAHFS). Firstly, we apply BiGRU to More >

Abstract Cybersecurity threats are increasing rapidly as hackers use advanced techniques. As a result, cybersecurity has now a significant factor in protecting organizational limits. Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are used in networks to flag serious issues during network management, including identifying malicious traffic, which is a challenge. It remains an open contest over how to learn features in IDS since current approaches use deep learning methods. Hybrid learning, which combines swarm intelligence and evolution, is gaining attention for further improvement against cyber threats. In this study, we employed a PSO-GA (fusion of particle swarm optimization (PSO) More >
