Abstract Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) is an effective and widely used clustering algorithm, but there are still some problems. considering the number of clusters must be determined manually, the local optimal solutions is easily influenced by the random selection of initial cluster centers, and the performance of Euclid distance in complex high-dimensional data is poor. To solve the above problems, the improved FCM clustering algorithm based on density Canopy and Manifold learning (DM-FCM) is proposed. First, a density Canopy algorithm based on improved local density is proposed to automatically deter-mine the number of clusters and initial cluster… More >

Abstract Advances in machine vision systems have revolutionized applications such as autonomous driving, robotic navigation, and augmented reality. Despite substantial progress, challenges persist, including dynamic backgrounds, occlusion, and limited labeled data. To address these challenges, we introduce a comprehensive methodology to enhance image classification and object detection accuracy. The proposed approach involves the integration of multiple methods in a complementary way. The process commences with the application of Gaussian filters to mitigate the impact of noise interference. These images are then processed for segmentation using Fuzzy C-Means segmentation in parallel with saliency mapping techniques to find… More >

Abstract Since its inception, the Internet has been rapidly evolving. With the advancement of science and technology and the explosive growth of the population, the demand for the Internet has been on the rise. Many applications in education, healthcare, entertainment, science, and more are being increasingly deployed based on the internet. Concurrently, malicious threats on the internet are on the rise as well. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are among the most common and dangerous threats on the internet today. The scale and complexity of DDoS attacks are constantly growing. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) have… More >

Abstract A Recommender System (RS) is a crucial part of several firms, particularly those involved in e-commerce. In conventional RS, a user may only offer a single rating for an item-that is insufficient to perceive consumer preferences. Nowadays, businesses in industries like e-learning and tourism enable customers to rate a product using a variety of factors to comprehend customers’ preferences. On the other hand, the collaborative filtering (CF) algorithm utilizing AutoEncoder (AE) is seen to be effective in identifying user-interested items. However, the cost of these computations increases nonlinearly as the number of items and users… More >

Abstract Biometrics represents the technology for measuring the characteristics of the human body. Biometric authentication currently allows for secure, easy, and fast access by recognizing a person based on facial, voice, and fingerprint traits. Iris authentication is one of the essential biometric methods for identifying a person. This authentication type has become popular in research and practical applications. Unlike the face and hands, the iris is an internal organ, protected and therefore less likely to be damaged. However, the number of helpful information collected from the iris is much greater than the other biometric human organs.… More >

Abstract Due to the increasing number of cyber-attacks, the necessity to develop efficient intrusion detection systems (IDS) is more imperative than ever. In IDS research, the most effectively used methodology is based on supervised Neural Networks (NN) and unsupervised clustering, but there are few works dedicated to their hybridization with metaheuristic algorithms. As intrusion detection data usually contains several features, it is essential to select the best ones appropriately. Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and t-statistic are considered as efficient conventional techniques to select the best features, but they have been little exploited in IDS design. Thus,… More >

Abstract One of the earliest indications of diabetes consequence is Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), the main contributor to blindness worldwide. Recent studies have proposed that Exudates (EXs) are the hallmark of DR severity. The present study aims to accurately and automatically detect EXs that are difficult to detect in retinal images in the early stages. An improved Fusion of Histogram–Based Fuzzy C–Means Clustering (FHBFCM) by a New Weight Assignment Scheme (NWAS) and a set of four selected features from stages of pre-processing to evolve the detection method is proposed. The features of DR train the optimal parameter… More >

Abstract The main task of thyroid hormones is controlling the metabolism rate of humans, the development of neurons, and the significant growth of reproductive activities. In medical science, thyroid disorder will lead to creating thyroiditis and thyroid cancer. The two main thyroid disorders are hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. Many research works focus on the prediction of thyroid disorder. To improve the accuracy in the classification of thyroid disorder this paper proposes optimization-based feature selection by using differential evolution with the Butterfly optimization algorithm (DE-BOA). For the classifier fuzzy C-means algorithm (FCM) is used. The proposed DEBOA-FCM is More >

Abstract In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), attacks mostly aim in limiting or eliminating the capability of the network to do its normal function. Detecting this misbehaviour is a demanding issue. And so far the prevailing research methods show poor performance. AQN3 centred efficient Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) is proposed in WSN to ameliorate the performance. The proposed system encompasses Data Gathering (DG) in WSN as well as Intrusion Detection (ID) phases. In DG, the Sensor Nodes (SN) is formed as clusters in the WSN and the Distance-based Fruit Fly Fuzzy c-means (DFFF) algorithm chooses the Cluster… More >
