Both of these can greatly raise the rate at which defects on metal surfaces are identified while performing industrial quality checks. The identification of faults over metal surfaces can be viewed as a significant challenge since they are easily impacted by ambient factors including illumination and light reflections. This paper proposes novel metal surface defect detection network called as YOLOv-5s-FRN in response to the problems of ineffective detection brought by the conventional manual inspection system. The proposed system is developed through the integration of a novel architectural module called as Feature Recalibration Network (FRN) to the You Only Look Once-version-5 small network )YOLOv-5s(. In order to extract the global feature information from the provided image, FRN is able to evaluate the interdependencies between the channels. This improves the feature discrimination capability and prediction accuracy of the defect detection system. The incorporation of FRN structure makes YOLOv-5s architecture to selectively enhance the necessary features and discard the unwanted ones. Therefore, the proposed novel method will efficiently detect and classify the metal surface defects such as crazing, patches, inclusions, scratches, pitted surfaces and rolled in scale. North Eastern University Surface Defect Database (NEU-DET) has been used to train and test the proposed architectural model. The suggested system has been compared with alternative models based on several performance matrices such as precision, recall and Mean Average Precision (mAP). It is observed that the proposed YOLOv-5s-FRN architecture provides significant performance improvement than state-of-the-art methods. The proposed system has been provided satisfactory results by means of improvement in mAP and time consumption. The proposed model has delivered value of mAP_0.5 as 98.05% and that of mAP_0.5:0.95 as 89.03%.","PeriodicalId":161392,"journal":{"name":"The International Arab Journal of Information Technology","volume":"10 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139129337","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}

To alleviate this challenging research question, this study proposes a novel data augmentation model, called Event Relation Data Augmentation based on relationship Prediction (ERDAP), that allows both semantic and structural features to be taken into account without changing the semantic relation label compatibility, uses event relation graph convolutional neural networks to predict event relations, and expands the generated high-quality event relation triples as new training data for the event relation texts.

Microservices architecture allows a large monolithic application to be split into small, loosely coupled services. A service communicates with other services using lightweight protocols such as RESTful APIs. Extracting microservices from the monolith is a challenging task and is mostly performed manually by system architects based on their skills. This extraction involves both: 1) Partitioning of business logic, 2) Partitioning of database. For partitioning of business logic, the existing research studies focus on decomposition by considering the dependencies in the application at the class-level. However, with the passage of time, monolith application classes outgrow their size defying the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP). So, there is a need to consider the code within the classes when identifying microservices. Current studies also lack the partitioning of database and ignore the mapping of Database Entities (DE) to the microservices. In this paper, we present a Comprehensive Microservice Extraction Approach (CMEA) that considers: 1) Both classes and their methods to define and refine microservices, 2) Associate the DE to microservices using newly devised eight guiding rules handling ownership conflicts. This approach has been applied to three benchmark web applications implemented in Java and one in-house application implemented in both Java and Python. Our results demonstrate better or similar software quality attributes in comparison to the existing related studies. CMEA improves software quality attributes by 22%. System architects can easily identify microservices along with their DE using our approach. The CMEA is generic and language-independent so it can be used for any application","PeriodicalId":161392,"journal":{"name":"The International Arab Journal of Information Technology","volume":"75 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139128150","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}

Moreover, BC detection based on an automated detection model is needed, because manual diagnosis faces problems due to cost and shortage of skilled manpower, and also takes a very long time. Using deep learning and ensemble feature selection techniques, in this paper, a novel framework is introduced for classifying BC from histopathology images. The five primary steps of the suggested framework are as follows: 1) to make the largest original dataset and then deep learning model with data augmentation to improve the learning. 2) The best features are selected by an Ensemble Filter Feature selection Method (EFFM) which combines the best feature subsets to produce the final feature subsets. 3) Then the pruned Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model is utilized to extract the optimal features. 4) Finally, the classification is done through the Triplet Attention based Efficient Network (TAENet) classifier. The suggested model produces a 98% accuracy rate after being trained and tested on two different histopathology imaging datasets including images from four different data cohorts.

Machine Learning (ML) models have successfully detected malicious PDF files. This paper presents XAI-PDF, an efficient system for malicious PDF detection designed to enhance accuracy and minimize decision-making time on a modern dataset, the Evasive-PDFMal2022 dataset. The proposed method optimizes malicious PDF classifier performance by employing feature engineering guided by Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP). Particularly, the model development approach comprises four phases: data preparation, model building, explainability of the models, and derived features. Utilizing the interpretability of SHAP values, crucial features are identified, and new ones are generated, resulting in an improved classification model that showcases the effectiveness of interpretable AI techniques in enhancing model performance. Various interpretable ML models were implemented, with the Lightweight Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM) outperforming other classifiers. The Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) global surrogate model generated explanations for LGBM predictions. Experimental comparisons of XAI-PDF with baseline methods revealed its superiority in achieving higher accuracy, precision, and F1-scores with minimal False Positive (FP) and False Negative (FN) rates (99.9%, 100%, 99.89%,0.000, and 0.002, respectively).

The chosen approach involves employing the bidimensional Arnold Cat Map transformation to reposition and modify pixel locations, guided by parameters derived from the original image. The construction of the multiplicative group Z/nZ, comprising equivalence classes modulo n, relies on a hyper-chaotic sequence derived from the 2D sinusoidal logistic modulation map. The correlation between this sequence and the preceding step yields an unpredictable blurring pattern, effectively altering the statistical properties of resulting matrices and distributing the influence of individual bits across the entire encrypted image. For each pixel, the encryption process entails an XOR operation with the Z/nZ group, followed by a right shift based on the three Least Significant Bits (LSB) of the preceding pixel. This meticulous procedure is iterated for every pixel, leaving no trace of similarity or association with the original plaintext image, effectively rendering it blurred and indecipherable. To gauge the efficacy of our algorithm, we subjected it to thorough evaluation utilizing diverse criteria, including histogram analysis, which unveiled a nearly uniform pattern in the encrypted images. Entropy values were found to be close to 8, while the correlation analysis exhibited a pronounced proximity to 0. Moreover, we subjected our approach to differential attacks, and the calculated values of the Number of Changing Pixel Rate (NPCR > 99.6) and the Unified Averaged Changed Intensity (UACI > 33.2) corroborated the strength and resilience of our methodology. In addition, to establish its comparative standing, we undertook a comprehensive assessment, meticulously comparing our method to various existing approaches from the literature, including those proposed by Hua, Es-sabry, and Faragallah.

Currently, graph-based models solve the approximate matrix that directly represent distributions of samples by the spatial metric. The crux lies in optimizing connections of samples, which is achieved by subjecting to must-links or cannot-links. Unfortunately, to find links are rather difficult for semi-supervised clustering with very few labeled samples, therefore, significantly impairs the robustness and accuracy in such scenario. To address this problem, we propose the Cohesive Pair-wises Constrained deep Embedding model (CPCE) to obtain an optimal embedding for representing the category distribution of samples and avoid the failed graph-structure of the global samples. CPCE designs the deep network framework based on CNN-Autoencoder by minimizing reconstruct errors of samples, and build up constrains both of the sample distribution for within-class and the category distribution for intra-class to optimal the latent embedding. Then, leverage the strong supervised information obtained from cohesive pair-wises to pull samples into within-class, which avoid the similarity of high-dimension features located in different categories to achieve more the compact solution.

This proposal develops a novel scrupulous Standardized Convolute Generative Adversarial Network (SCGAN) framework for performing accurate face recognition automatically by restoring the occluded region including blind face restoration. Initially, a scrupulous image refining technique is utilised to offer the appropriate input to the network in the subsequent process. Following the pre-processing stage, a Caffe based Principle Component Analysis (PCA) filtration is conducted which uses convolutional architecture for fast feature embedding that collects spatial information and significant differentiating characteristics to counteract the loss of information existing in pooling operations. Then a filtration method identifies the specific match of the face based on the extracted features, creating uncorrelated variables that optimise variance across time while minimising information loss. To handle all the diversification occurring in the image and accurately recognise the face with occlusion in any part of the face, a novel Standardized Convolute GAN network is used to restore the image and recognise the face using novel Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) networks are modelled. This GAN ensures the normal distribution along with parametric optimization contributing to the high performance with accuracy of 96.05% and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) of 18 and Structural Similarity Index Metric (SSIM) of 98% for restored face recognition.
