The algorithms included DDAE, MWMOTE, SMOTE, RUSBoost, AdaBoost, cost-sensitive decision tree (csDCT), self-paced Ensemble Classifier, MetaCost, CAdaMEC and Iterative Metric Learning (IML). As the substantial bias potentially caused by imbalance classification can be harmful for underrepresented classes which are of critical social and economic values and even lives, the main objective of our study is thus to understand the impact of imbalance ratio and the size of the utilized datasets on the performance of the above-mentioned algorithms. Our experiments show that 1) Sampling methods perform the worst and cannot be used directly for imbalanced classification, since they lack of consideration of neighborhoods based on distance. However, some classifiers can be improved after the balance of class distribution. 2) Cost-sensitive learning models should be utilized when the dataset is less imbalanced, because it is difficult to set an appropriate cost matrix for a specific dataset, which can cause performance fluctuations. 3) IML consistently shows good performance (in terms of F1 and AUCPRC), is resilient to different imbalance ratios but sensitive to the data distribution of the dataset. 4) Ensemble learning techniques generally perform better over other approaches due to theircombined intelligence of multiple basic classifiers. 5) In terms of system performance, self-paced Ensemble Classifier performs fairly well with regards to learning time, while IML and DDAE yield the longest learningtime; AdaBoost and self-paced Ensemble Classifier are two algorithms require lowest memory usage. Wealso provide our empirical recommendation for algorithm selection under different requirements and usagescenarios based on our analysis.

It is necessary to detect stress at an early stage to prevent its adverse effects on our physical and psychological health. The paper presents a stress detection model using physiological signals. In this paper, WESAD (Wearable and Stress Affect Detection) dataset is used which consists of physiological data recorded from both the chest and wrist. Further, a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) based model is used to detect stress. The simulation results indicate that, indeed, Electrocardiograph (ECG), Electromyogram (EMG), and Respiration (RESP) signals may not be necessary for identifying stress. A three-way validation is carried out with an accuracy of 98%. The novelty of the paper is the way time-series data is handled to make it closer to real-time data captured from sensors. The work can be used widely in clinical practices to detect stress at an early stage.

To extract this information for using in diverse natural language processing applications, identifying the names is prerequisite. A study is presented here, to identify automobile names from noisy web reviews by exploring two widely used machine learning algorithms, Conditional Random Field and Support Vector Machine. The accuracy of machine learning classifiers radically rely on size and quality of training data which has been prepared manually by extracting discussion forum corpus; the task is time consuming and laborious; hence to leverage this word embedding is adopted. Though it enhances the system’s performance but is unable to spot noisy names which occur in web reviews. Next, a gazetteer based string matching technique is proposed, it recognizes a new set of noisy automobile entities, resulting considerable improvement in accuracy.

There are many existing machine learning models for predicting iType-II diabetics in short term future or in unspecified future. But obtaining a model having optimal performance and predicting diabetes risk in long term future are the main problems. These problems are handled in this work by proposing a stacking based integrated KELM imodel to predict the risk of diabetes Type-II for a person within five years after assessment. The Pima Indian Diabetic Dataset (PIDD) and a Diabetic Research Center dataset are used in this study. A Min-Max normalization is used to pre-process the noisy datasets. The HAFPSO algorithm used in this work explores the best combination of Base learners by increasing the Classification Accuracy (CA) and decreasing the kernel complexity of the optimal learners. Finally, the model is integrated by utilizing the KELM as a meta-classifier that combines the predictions of the twenty Base Learners. The proposed method is assessed with different measures such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, Mathews Correlation Coefficient, and Kappa Statistics. The proposed KELM-HAFPSO approach has got better values of the considered metrics confirming its effectiveness in identifying type-II diabetes. The proposed method helps the clinicians to predict the patients who are at a high risk of Type-II diabetes in the future with the highest accuracy of 98.5%. The results obtained show that the KELM-HAFPSO approach is a promising new tool for identifying type-II diabetes.

First, we proposed the Convex hull algorithm to calculate a set of extreme points with the neighbouring nodes and the duration of the message remains restricted as the number of nodes increases. Second, we proposed a Naïve Bayes classifier and convolution neural network (CNN) to improve the convergence performance and find the node faults. Finally, we analyze convex hull, Naïve bayes and CNN algorithms using real-world datasets to identify and organize the faults. Simulation and experimental outcomes retain feasibility and efficiency and show that the CNN algorithm has better-identified faults than the convex hull algorithm based on performance metrics.

Software-Defined Network (SDN) has been defined as a promising solution for providing efficient network management by decoupling the data and control planes from the network devices and enables programmability of network devices. The major challenge in SDN is identification of number of controllers to be placed and its optimal placements in the network. To address this issue, this work proposes a Traffic Engineering mechanism that leverages the performance of Machine Learning to predict controller numbers by analysing and predicting the controller’s traffic. The optimal locations of controllers are identified by using the K-Means++ algorithm. The proposed method is simulated using Mininet and the results depict that the proposed methodology outperforms the existing methodologies in terms of performance parameters.

Recent stud…In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), the data transmission from the sensing node to the sink node consumes a lot of energy as the number of communications increases, so the battery life of nodes is limited, and the network also has a limited lifetime. Recent studies show that the bio-inspired meta-heuristic algorithms for solving engineering problems such as energy reduction in autonomous networks in the multidisciplinary areas of WSN, Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine learning models. Hence to increase Network lifetime, optimized clustering and energy-efficient routing techniques are required. In all applications of WSN, not only energy-efficient but also delay and throughput of the network are important for efficient transmission of data to the destination. This paper analyses optimized clustering by selecting cluster heads based on fractional calculus earthworm optimization algorithm (FEWA). The route from cluster heads to sink node is selected based on the fit factor. This paper's main intention is to provide an extensive comparative study of the FEWA with all standard optimization-based clustering and routing techniques. This method's performance is compared with existing optimized clustering methods like GA, PSO, ACO, DE and EWO in terms of the number of energy, delay, and throughput. At the end of 1000 iterations, the analysis shows that the FEWA outperforms existing methods with maximum average remaining energy of the nodes as 0.216J, the minimum average delay of 0.208 sec and maximum average throughput of 88.57% for 100 nodes.

However, the human ability to identify patterns from such data has not scaled accordingly. Consequently, efficient computational approaches for condensing and simplifying data are becoming essential for uncovering actionable insights, especially the big social networks. Many large datasets analyzed today are represented with the help of graphs. In many real-world applications, summarizing large graphs is beneficial to achieve a number of advantages, including 1) significant speedup for graph algorithms, 2) graph storage space reduction, 3) faster network transmission, 4) improved data privacy, 5) more effective graph visualization, etc. All these benefits can be obtained from the summarized graph, if it is summarized accurately. The quality of the summary graph is mostly measured using the Reconstruction Error (RE). In the existing literature, RE is a very challenging task. Most of the approaches investigated so farending up with high value of RE. Hence, the summarized graph does not express the original graph completely due to the high value of the RE. Therefore, in this work we have examined how can we summarize a big graph structure into a compact summary by reducing its RE and ensuring its usefulness. For this task, we have proposed a novel graph summarization approach, called g-Sum, to calculate the graph structure summaries while minimizing RE and compare to the existing work in the domain. The functionality of the g-Sum is decomposed into three different, but interlinked phases; (1)- graph dataset pre-processing; (2)- graph partitioning; and (3)- graph summarization. We have performed an extensive series of experiments on different real-world social graph dataset, including Ego-Facebook, Enron Email and Web-Stanford graph datasets. The computed results show the effectiveness of the g-Sum and also compared with the state-of-the-art graph summarization approaches, S2L and GraSS.

This data can also be used to analyze disaster behaviour. In this paper, we have collected labelled tweets from crisisLexT26 and crisisNLP and classified them into seven labels on the basis of information provided by them. The data was heavily skewed. So to improve the accuracy of classifiers, we have applied various techniques as a result of which we have created two datasets (Imbalanced and Balanced). We have compared the performance of various BERT-based models on these two datasets. For sequence classification, a balanced dataset performs better than an imbalanced dataset. We can improve accuracy of classifiers to great extent by adopting good data preprocessing and data splitting techniques.

The frequency and behavior of conditional instructions mainly affect the performance of instruction-level parallelism. However, recent processors still have problems with the correct prediction of conditional branches. Firstly, the perceptron neural network and global-based perceptron prediction has been exploited and implemented. Further, a new approach, linear vector quantization (LVQ) neural network, is explored and implemented to see its possibility and potentiality as a branch predictor in terms of accuracy rate. Simulation is performed by varying the parameter of hardware budget and the length of history register using different trace files for identification of the best branch predictor technique. The proposed LVQ perceptron branch predictor achieves an 85.56% accuracy rate using a hardware budget and an 86.36% accuracy rate in terms of history length by comparing the simulation results.

Although, the topic of energy efficiency has been well researched in conventional WSN, but it has not been extensively studied. In theresearch, Reinforcement Learning (RL) based energy-aware clustering algorithm is proposed by which the neighboring nodes in the cluster selects an appropriate Cluster Head ( CH) by observing the environmental conditions like as energy consumptionand coverage that is computed as distance from the CH to the Base Station (BS). An optimal cluster is selected by each neighboring node, which minimized the energy consumption and network lifetime. The problem of selecting an optimal CH is resolved using the RL approach. Using the RL approach, the CH having the highest reward point is selected for data communication. The results show that energy saving of 7.41%, 3.27%, 4.03%, and 2.79 % is achieved for 100, 200, 300, and 400 deployed nodes, respectively.

Over the past decades, sensor node localization has become an essential challenge of WSNs. The sensor indicates localization challenges related to NP-hard problems. Nature-inspired computational intelligence algorithms are used to solve NP-hard problems efficiently for sensor node localization. After the rigorous advanced search in reputable research journals, efficient newly designed Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) algorithm has not been used to sensor nodes localization until now. Therefore, this paper does and compares the proposed work from the recently available well-known optimization algorithms such as the Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA), Equilibrium Optimizer (EO), and Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO). The simulation results of the proposed work showed that it can outperform in terms of average localization error, the number of localized sensor nodes, and computational cost compared to other computational intelligence algorithms.

Some of these applications are: register allocation, image processing and communication networks. There are various techniques suggested by the researchers to solve the problem which is either exact or approximate in nature. In this paper, a new greedy technique, based on degrees of vertices in the graph is presented to solve the graph colouring problem in an improved manner. The technique involves the use of adjacency matrix along with another matrix generated for the set of possible colours for each vertex in the graph. The generated colour matrix is used to assign the colours among the vertices in the graph based on decreasing degrees of the vertices. Several DIMACS colouring instances solved using the suggested approach in the article and compared with some contemporary techniques for the performance and proves compatible and having better execution time with compared technique. The obtained colouing results are mostly optimal colour values corresponding to the examined colouring instances of the graph.

Our analysis of data created by users who voluntarily used check-ins with a mobile application can give insight into a user’s mobility and behaviour patterns. In this study, we used location-sharing data from Swarm to explore spatio-temporal, geo-temporal and behaviour patterns within the city of Melbourne. Moreover, we used several tools for different datasets. We used the MeaningCloud tool for sentiment analysis and the LIWC15 tool for psychometric analysis. Also, we employed SPSS software for the descriptive statistical analysis on check-in data to reveal meaningful trends and attain a deeper understanding of human behaviour patterns in the city. The results show that most people do not express strong negative or positive emotions in relation to the places they visit. Behaviour patterns vary based on gender. Furthermore, mobility patterns are different on different days of the week as well as at different times of a day but are not necessarily influenced by the weather.

Diabetic neuropathy (DN) disease is a complication of diabetes which causes damage to nerves. Early prediction of DN helps diabetic patient to avoid its complications. The main aim of this work is to identify various risk factors of DN and predict it accurately using ML techniques. Radial basis function (RBF) network is an artificial neural network proposed to obtain better results than traditional ML classification techniques. CART, random forest and logistic regression are existing classification techniques considered. Accuracy, recall, f1 score, area under ROC curve (AUC), Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) and kolmogorov-smirnov (KS) statistic are performance metrics used to evaluate and compare algorithms. From comparative study it was observed that proposed technique RBF network performed better. The performance metric values obtained for RBF network are accuracy-68.18%, recall-0.909, f1score-0 .7407, AUC-0.6405, MCC-0.4082 and KS statistic-0.5417. Accordingly, the use of RBF network while predicting DN gives accurate and better results.

The approach provides not only better accessibility but also unlimited storage capacity to the users. Even though there are numerous benefits of the approach, but security remains the prime concern for cloud computing and cloud service users. There are few solutions that provide protection in cloud computing, but even after having these solution, trust in cloud service providers remains the prime concern for cloud users. To overcome such a situation and to enhance the faith amongst the user and cloud service provider, a hybrid monitoring scheme (SecHMS) have been proposed and evaluated in this paper. The hybrid monitoring scheme (SecHMS) uses public-key cryptography and hashing technique to provide data security in cloud computing. The hybrid scheme (SecHMS) constantly monitors the stored data on behalf of end-users. As user’s data is getting continuously monitored, it leads to the enhancement of trust for the end-user in cloud computing systems. A thorough analysis has been done on different size files, and results have been demonstrated to show the correctness of SecHMS scheme.

Various users perceive this connection and interaction very helpful and serviceable in their daily routines.
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this research to identify the complex configured network system is a soft target to security threats, therefore we need a security embedded framework for IoT and cloud communication models. Another objective is to provide protection of information from unauthorized access controls in IoT-cloud integrated framework and secure data from spying.
METHODS: This paper has applied an integrated IoT-cloud theoretical solution, whose activities are mainly decided by a centralized controller to provide safeguard against data attacks. Our theoretical integrated IoT-cloud theoretical solution is able to achieve unauthorized access control and data breach. RESULTS: Internet of things and cloud computing has intensively used by several real-time applications. After the thercical analysis, the different vulnerabilities explained after detail literature review to prevent unauthorized access and unauthorized data breach.
CONCLUSION: Internet of things have changed the shape of communicationand centralized data controller is the main entity that is robust against eavesdroppers. In case, any eavesdropper tries to be a normal user and attempts to access a personal file then he has been entertained with a misleading file that he considers as an authentic file but in actual it is not. Desirable IoT proposed solutions need to be design and deploy, which can guarantee: anonymity, confidentiality, andintegrity in heterogeneous environments.

It's very costly to store, process, and retrieve a vast volume of text data. In this paper, we present a method to keep the massive text corpus in lesser memory space by using text compression and to retrieve the results by matching directly on this compressed corpus without decompression using compressed pattern matching (CPM). The proposed approach also helps to minimize the time taken to perform matching without compromising the false matching results. We used word-based tagged coding to perform text compression and Wavelet Trees for representing the compressed text in memory. The proposed Text Matching in Compressed text using Parallel Wavelet Tree (TMC_PWT) method is quite fast in comparison to other existing text matching algorithms that support CPM. In the context of CPM, the proposed method provides a good compression ratio and does not suffer from the problem of false matching.

The email spear-phishing attack is designed as a non-cooperativeand repeated game between opponents. Additionally, this work relies on Quantal Response Equilibrium (QRE)to build a game theoretical approach to predict the phisher’s future intent based on past actions of bothplayers. This approach is coupled with a recommendation strategy of appropriate allocation of resources toinvest to strengthen user protection. Simulations on spear-phishing scenarios demonstrate the ability of thefinal system to intuitively guess the most likely phisher decisions. This work provides intelligence to spear-phishing detectors and humans such that they can anticipate next phisher actions.

In this paper, we presented a tailored mobile learning system, namely the Integrated English and Programming Language Learning System (IEPLS), which aims at learning English vocabulary before studying programming language concepts. The IEPLS supports programming language learning in three ways; (a) Recommending to learn specific English vocabulary used in programming language concepts (b) Adaptation to the learning flow of the learner and (c) Motivating and encouraging learners to learn items based on individual learner's performance. The IEPLS was used by one hundred and fifty undergraduate students for six months. Evaluation results revealed the attainment of IEPLS in supporting learners in learning programming languages backed by precise English vocabulary.

OBJECTIVES: To overcome the dependency of CDSC tasks on manual labeling of the dataset by proposing a polarity detection task. METHODS: We have proposed the CDSC-PDT method that is the polarity Detection Task (PDT) followed by the CDSC task. The proposed PDT task extracts the polarity of reviews from the source domain using the contextual and relevancy information of words in documents and this automatic labeled dataset is further used to train classifiers to make the further classification. RESULTS: Proposed method is comparable to the traditional learning method giving the highest precision 85.7%. CONCLUSION: The proposed method does not need to manually label the documents in either of the domain (source or target), hence it overcomes the human intervention and is also time saving and cheap process, unlike traditional CDSC tasks.

aggregation and processing of data, away from public scrutiny. Due to the genesis of laws that ended up exposing their
model, along with debates on data privacy, a new generation of data protection acts, much stricter, are being enacted
worldwide. The shift away from the data commoditization paradigm might, at first, indicate the extinction of such businesses.
In this paper, we present related concepts and a brief history that led to that current scenario, along with some collaborativeoriented proposals for the adequacy of the data brokerage industry to a transparent perspective.

used by variety of users. It gives a sneak peek of users’ reactions towards the products that are available in the market at an
early stage. It thus intimates users’ perception and charts out a path that is beneficial for the market to grow as a whole.
Although a lot of research is done to exploit the product based sentiment analysis but due to increase demand of the
detailed components based products and their associated features, a novel method is desired to meet these criteria. So far,
no such method is explored that analyses the product’s components and their features simultaneously, on the basis of
sentiments of the users. This paper proposes an improvised Feature Based Algorithm (FBA) for the sentiment analysis of
product reviews while formulating a tree structure of product, components, and associated features. In addition, evaluation
of double negative sentences, detecting questions and emotions from the review sentences are measured which increases
efficiency of the FBA method. The comparison of product’s components reviews is done with other existing algorithmsTF, TF-IDF and Naïve Bayes to demonstrate that the proposed FBA is coherent and auspicious.

However, the infrastructure for accommodating these vehicles has grown
relatively slow. Alleviating the pressure on the urban transport system and solving the ‘parking difficulty’ problem have thus become hot topics recently. In this paper, an intelligent parking system based on geomagnetic field variations is presented to solve
this problem. An algorithm which detects the presence of vehicles in parking spaces in a parking lot is designed and field test results are presented. Our results show that this system has an acceptably high accuracy with low cost, high feasibility, high efficiency and hence is recommended for wide use.

Researchers have used different Data Mining and Internet of Things (IoT) for enrooting a programmed solution for diabetes and heart patients. However, still, more advanced and united solution is needed that can offer a therapeutic opinion to individual diabetic and cardio patients. Therefore, here, a smart data mining and IoT (SMDIoT) based advanced healthcare system for proficient diabetes and cardiovascular diseases have been proposed. The hybridization of data mining and IoT with other emerging computing techniques is supposed to give an effective and economical solution to diabetes and cardio patients. SMDIoT hybridized the ideas of data mining, Internet of Things, chatbots, contextual entity search (CES), bio-sensors, semantic analysis and granular computing (GC). The bio-sensors of the proposed system assist in getting the current and precise status of the concerned patients so that in case of an emergency, the needful medical assistance can be provided. The novelty lies in the hybrid framework and the adequate support of chatbots, granular computing, context entity search and semantic analysis. The practical implementation of this system is very challenging and costly. However, it appears to be more operative and economical solution for diabetes and cardio patients.

Cancer starts from breast and spread to other part of the body. People are unable to identify their disease before it become dangerous. It can be cured if the disease identified at early stage. Accurate classification of benign tumours can avoid patients undergoing unnecessary treatments. Data Analytics and machine learning methods provides framework for prognostic studies by errorless classification of data instances into relevant based on the cancer severity. In this study we have purposed a prediction model by combining artificial intelligent based learning technique with multivariate statistical method. For automation of the diagnosis process data mining plays an significant role. The data sets available in different repositories are noisy in nature. This study suggests a hybrid feature selection method to be used with PCA (Principal Component Analysis) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Preprocessing of data and extracting the most relevant features done by PCA. The proposed algorithm is tested by applying it on Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset from UCI Repository of Machine Learning Databases. In classification phase 10 fold cross validation was used. The suggested algorithm was measured against different classifier algorithms on the same database. The evaluation results of the algorithm proposed have achieved better accuracy with sensitivity and F measure comparison with others and by enhancing this concept we can provide a future scope to produce sophisticated learning models for diagnosis.

To predict the stock prices, authors have proposed a technique by first calculating the sentiment scores through Naïve Bayes classifier and after that neural network is applied on both sentiment scores and historical stock dataset. They have also addressed the issue of data cleaning using a Hive ecosystem. This ecosystem is being used for pre-processing part and a neural network model with inputs from sentiment analysis and historic data is used to predict the prices. It has been observed from the experiments that the accuracy level reaches above 90% in maximum cases, as well as it also provides the solid base that model will be more accurate if it trained with recent data. The intended combination of sentiment analysis and Neural networks is used to establish a statistical relationship between historic numerical data records of a particular stock and other sentimental factors which can affects the stock prices.

The forecasting of speed of wind is called as the wind speed forecasting/prediction. It is basically done to achieve the better sustainability for power generation and production. The availability of wind energy in ample amount makes it quite
comfortable to be utilized for various functionalities. In this research work the main aim is to forecast speed using LSTM including certain parameters and then comparative analysis is done using SVM. Both are machine learning approaches but have different functionalities in comparison to each other. This comparison is done to obtain the better technique which can be further applied on larger datasets to design a better, accurate, efficient forecasting model for speed of wind. The survey and implementation of both the techniques gave a clear idea about the utilisation of long short term memory for the better and enhanced wind speed forecasting. The forecasting is based on various atmospheric variables, and the data set is
taken from the kaggle datsets which have numerous attributes but we have considered few of them only for the prediction purpose.
