AES is an SPN block cipher used in many security applications. However, there are many strong attacks on block ciphers as linear attacks, differential attacks, and algebraic attacks which are challenging for cryptographers. Therefore, the research to improve the security of block ciphers in general and AES, in particular, is a topic of great interest today. Along with security, the issue of the execution cost of block ciphers is also crucial in practice. In this paper, we clarify the role of the MDS matrix in increasing the branch number of the diffusion layer of the block ciphers, thereby improving the security of the block ciphers. We propose a method improving the security of the AES block cipher by changing the Mixcolumn transformation of AES using execution-efficient MDS matrices of size 4, 8, or 16. We present a method to find a new diffusion matrix of modified AES block ciphers from which to evaluate the number of fixed points and coefficient of fixed points of the modified AES diffusion layers. In addition, we prove the branch number of the modified AES diffusion layers with MDS matrices of sizes 8, and 16. Then we also analyze the security, statistical standards and execution speed of modified AES block ciphers generated from those MDS matrices. The results show that our proposed method can significantly improve the security of the AES block cipher.","PeriodicalId":15444,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computer Science and Cybernetics","volume":" 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141365079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This remarkable progress has generated an overwhelming volume of data, necessitating big data technologies for efficient storage and indexing. While big data technologies like Hadoop offer substantial support for big XML file storage, the challenges of indexing data sizes and XPath query performance persist. To enhance the efficiency of XPath queries and address the data size problem, a novel approach that is derived from the spatial indexing method of the R-tre family. The proposed method is to modify the structure of leaf nodes in the indexing tree to preserve XML-sibling connections. Then, new algorithms for constructing the new tree structure and processing sibling queries better are introduced. Experimental results demonstrate the superior efficiency of sibling XPath queries with reduced data sizes for indexing, while other XPath queries exhibit notable performance improvements. This research contributes to the development of more effective indexing methods for managing and querying large XML datasets in bioinformatics applications, ultimately advancing biomedical research and healthcare initiatives.","PeriodicalId":15444,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computer Science and Cybernetics","volume":"1 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139157596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these algorithms only return a reduct and do not preserve information in the decision tables.

This study extracts images from Taekwondo videos and generates skeleton data from frames using the Fast Forward Moving Picture Experts Group (FFMPEG) technique using MoveNet. After that, we use deep learning architectures such as Long Short-Term Memory Networks, Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory, and Long-term Recurrent Convolutional Networks to perform the poses classification tasks in Taegeuk in Jang lessons. This work presents two approaches. The first approach uses a sequence skeleton extracted from the image by Movenet. Second, we use sequence images to train using video classification architecture. Finally, we recognize poses in sports lessons using skeleton data to remove noise in the image, such as background and extraneous objects behind the exerciser. As a result, our proposed method has achieved promising performance in pose classification tasks in an introductory Taekwondo lesson.","PeriodicalId":15444,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computer Science and Cybernetics","volume":"59 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139253167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Visual question answering in other languages also would be developed for resources and models. In addition, there is no multilingual dataset targeting the visual content of a particular country with its own objects and cultural characteristics. To address the weakness, we provide the research community with a benchmark dataset named EVJVQA, including 33,000+ pairs of question-answer over three languages: Vietnamese, English, and Japanese, on approximately 5,000 images taken from Vietnam for evaluating multilingual VQA systems or models. EVJVQA is used as a benchmark dataset for the challenge of multilingual visual question answering at the 9th Workshop on Vietnamese Language and Speech Processing (VLSP 2022). This task attracted 62 participant teams from various universities and organizations. In this article, we present details of the organization of the challenge, an overview of the methods employed by shared-task participants, and the results. The highest performances are 0.4392 in F1-score and 0.4009 in BLUE on the private test set. The multilingual QA systems proposed by the top 2 teams use ViT for the pre-trained vision model and mT5 for the pre-trained language model, a powerful pre-trained language model based on the transformer architecture.

In this paper, we propose a novel model of an expert system for diagnosing disease syndromes and treating traditional Vietnamese medicine. In this model, the knowledge base consists of IF-THEN rules, in which the antecedent of a rule is an elementary conjunction of propositions and negated propositions. The inference mechanism for the diagnosis of disease syndromes and treatment of traditional Vietnamese medicine applies Abelian group operations. A comparison of the inference of our model with the fuzzy max-min inferences shows that our model can have very similar rules whose contributions sum up to high weight. On the other hand, in our model, a rule with a negative weight may diminish an effect of a rule with a good weight. This feature is absent in the systems with fuzzy max-min inferences. We have built rule patterns for the diagnosis of about 50 disease syndromes and their treatment by Herbs and Acupuncture with the cooperation of practitioners of Oriental Traditional Medicine in Vietnam. Some examples of databases and the rules for disease syndrome differentiation and treatment by herbal medicine and Acupuncture are shown.
