Abstract A consumption of 46.9 million tons of processed tomatoes was reported in 2022 which is merely 20% of the total consumption. An increase of 3.3% in consumption is predicted from 2024 to 2032. Tomatoes are also rich in iron, potassium, antioxidant lycopene, vitamins A, C and K which are important for preventing cancer, and maintaining blood pressure and glucose levels. Thus, tomatoes are globally important due to their widespread usage and nutritional value. To face the high demand for tomatoes, it is mandatory to investigate the causes of crop loss and minimize them. Diseases are… More >

Abstract In recent years, how to efficiently and accurately identify multi-model fake news has become more challenging. First, multi-model data provides more evidence but not all are equally important. Secondly, social structure information has proven to be effective in fake news detection and how to combine it while reducing the noise information is critical. Unfortunately, existing approaches fail to handle these problems. This paper proposes a multi-model fake news detection framework based on Tex-modal Dominance and fusing Multiple Multi-model Cues (TD-MMC), which utilizes three valuable multi-model clues: text-model importance, text-image complementary, and text-image inconsistency. TD-MMC is… More >

Abstract The concept of smart houses has grown in prominence in recent years. Major challenges linked to smart homes are identification theft, data safety, automated decision-making for IoT-based devices, and the security of the device itself. Current home automation systems try to address these issues but there is still an urgent need for a dependable and secure smart home solution that includes automatic decision-making systems and methodical features. This paper proposes a smart home system based on ensemble learning of random forest (RF) and convolutional neural networks (CNN) for programmed decision-making tasks, such as categorizing gadgets… More >

Abstract With the rising adoption of blockchain technology due to its decentralized, secure, and transparent features, ensuring its resilience against network threats, especially Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, is crucial. This research addresses the vulnerability of blockchain systems to DDoS assaults, which undermine their core decentralized characteristics, posing threats to their security and reliability. We have devised a novel adaptive integration technique for the detection and identification of varied DDoS attacks. To ensure the robustness and validity of our approach, a dataset amalgamating multiple DDoS attacks was derived from the CIC-DDoS2019 dataset. Using this, our… More >

Abstract Multimodal Sentiment Analysis (SA) is gaining popularity due to its broad application potential. The existing studies have focused on the SA of single modalities, such as texts or photos, posing challenges in effectively handling social media data with multiple modalities. Moreover, most multimodal research has concentrated on merely combining the two modalities rather than exploring their complex correlations, leading to unsatisfactory sentiment classification results. Motivated by this, we propose a new visual-textual sentiment classification model named Multi-Model Fusion (MMF), which uses a mixed fusion framework for SA to effectively capture the essential information and the… More >

Abstract In recent years, research on facial expression recognition (FER) under mask is trending. Wearing a mask for protection from Covid 19 has become a compulsion and it hides the facial expressions that is why FER under the mask is a difficult task. The prevailing unimodal techniques for facial recognition are not up to the mark in terms of good results for the masked face, however, a multimodal technique can be employed to generate better results. We proposed a multimodal methodology based on deep learning for facial recognition under a masked face using facial and vocal… More >

Abstract In the machine learning (ML) paradigm, data augmentation serves as a regularization approach for creating ML models. The increase in the diversification of training samples increases the generalization capabilities, which enhances the prediction performance of classifiers when tested on unseen examples. Deep learning (DL) models have a lot of parameters, and they frequently overfit. Effectively, to avoid overfitting, data plays a major role to augment the latest improvements in DL. Nevertheless, reliable data collection is a major limiting factor. Frequently, this problem is undertaken by combining augmentation of data, transfer learning, dropout, and methods of More >

Abstract Network analysis is a promising field in the area of network applications as different types of traffic grow enormously and exponentially. Reliable route prediction is a challenging task in the Large Scale Networks (LSN). Various non-self-learning and self-learning approaches have been adopted to predict reliable routing. Routing protocols decide how to send all the packets from source to the destination addresses across the network through their IP. In the current era, dynamic protocols are preferred as they network self-learning internally using an algorithm and may not entail being updated physically more than the static protocols.… More >

Abstract This paper presents the study of differential evolution algorithm with hierarchical fair competition model (HFC-DE). HFC model is based on the fair competition of societal system found in natural world. In this model, the population is split into hierarchy and the competition is allowed between the hierarchical members. During evolution, the population members are allowed to move within the hierarchy levels. The standard differential evolution algorithm is used for population evolution. Experimentation has carried out to define the parameter for proposed model on test suit having unimodal problems and multi-model problems. After analyzing the results, More >

Abstract Contemporary vision and pattern recognition issues such as image, face, fingerprint identification, and recognition, DNA sequencing, often have a large number of properties and classes. To handle such types of complex problems, one type of feature descriptor is not enough. To overcome these issues, this paper proposed a multi-model recognition and classification strategy using multi-feature fusion approaches. One of the growing topics in computer and machine vision is fruit and vegetable identification and categorization. A fruit identification system may be employed to assist customers and purchasers in identifying the species and quality of fruit. Using More >
