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.

The large volume of data coming from sensors requires to be handled by implementing deep learning and machine learning algorithms to improve an intelligent knowledge base for providing suitable solutions as and when needed. Electronic medical records (EMR) are mostly stored in a client-server database and are supported by enabling technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), Sensors, cloud, big data, Deep Learning, etc. It is accessed by several users involved like doctors, hospitals, labs, insurance providers, patients, etc. Therefore, data security from illegal access is crucial especially to manage the integrity of data. In this paper, we describe all the basic concepts involved in management and security of such data and proposed a novel system to securely manage the hospital’s big data using Deep Learning and Block-Chain technology.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Accordingly, the present study is using machine learning techniques to predict the usage of fossil fuels (Diesel, Black oil, Heating oil, and Petrol) in mid-term. Exponential Smoothing, a model of time series and the Neural Network model have been applied on the actual usage data obtained from Shahroud area from 2010 to 2015. For estimation of predictive value by Neural Network method, the training and testing samples, the highest and lowest errors with a range of 41% -0.89% and 88% -3% for the Mean Absolute Percent Deviation are the most appropriate predictions for Petrol consumption. And in the Single Exponential Smoothing, the forecast rate for each product is estimated on a

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.

The answer to this need is a simulation testbed which can be used to simulate the UAV Network (UAVNet). One of these attempts is - UAVSim (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Simulation testbed) developed at the University of Toledo. It has the capability of simulating large UAV networks as well as small UAV networks with large number of attack nodes. In this paper, we analyse the performance of the simulation testbed for two
attacks, targeting single and multiple UAVs. Traditional and generic computing resource available in a regular computer laboratory was used. Various evaluation results have been presented and analysed which suggest the suitability of UAVSim for UAVNet attack and swarm simulation applications.
