This study proposes a Secure Healthcare Monitoring and Attack Detection Framework (SHMADF) designed to safeguard IoT-enabled healthcare environments by leveraging advanced data processing and security techniques. The framework initiates with comprehensive data collection from IoT sensors and network traffic within healthcare settings. Preprocessing steps—including removal of duplicates, handling missing data, and Z-score normalization—prepare the data for efficient analysis. Feature extraction targets low-level and protocol-specific features, Session-Level and Statistical Features. Thus, the extracted features were fused by Weighted Feature Concatenation (WFC). To optimize feature selection, a novel hybrid metaheuristic—Cuckoo-Bat Echolocation Search (CBES)—combines the strengths of Cuckoo Search and Bat Algorithm, enhancing detection accuracy. Data confidentiality during transmission is ensured through a Chaotic Map-Based Stream Cipher Encryption (CMSCE), tailored for resource-constrained IoT devices. Moreover, the encrypted data are stored in cloud and it support real-time data aggregation and low-latency decision-making. The core detection engine employs a hybrid ConvGRU-Net model, merging Convolutional Neural Networks with Gated Recurrent Units for spatial–temporal pattern recognition of cyber-attacks. Additionally, an interactive alert and feedback system offers real-time visualization and adaptive model refinement, enabling proactive healthcare management. The proposed framework demonstrates potential for comprehensive, efficient, and secure IoT healthcare monitoring. The proposed SHMADF model achieved superior performance with 99.35% accuracy, 99.3% precision, 99.4% recall, and 99.35% F1-score. It demonstrated low FPR (1.0%) and FNR (0.6%), with fast encryption (10.2 ms), decryption (9.8 ms), and key generation (2.6 ms), ensuring secure, real-time IoT healthcare monitoring and attack detection.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36280,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Data Science","volume":"13 1","pages":"241 - 278"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147342637","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}

According to research, early diagnosis and intervention of autism is crucial to improve the overall quality of life of patients. Although existing machine learning and deep learning methods have been applied to the identification and detection of autism, healthcare organizations often refuse to share or disclose medical data with the improvement of laws and regulations. Therefore, we propose a privacy-preserving deep learning method based on the local client using a dual-stream model to further improve the ASD recognition performance by capturing the features of functional MRI in both temporal and spatial structures, and further ensure that each client improves the performance of the local recognition task through federated learning by optimizing the two steps of the local client update and the client aggregation during federated learning. The experimental results show that our model achieves the best AUC of 0.952, which ensures the overall performance of the classification model, and the recognition accuracy is significantly improved by using federated learning compared to the results when clients are trained independently.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36280,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Data Science","volume":"13 1","pages":"79 - 104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147338983","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}

Wild blueberries are of crucial economic importance because they provide employment opportunities and open new markets for exportation. Machine Learning (ML) is used to model and analyze a number of parameters influencing crop production, and this makes it a major asset in the prediction of wild blueberry output. ML methods like Gaussian Process Regression Networks (GPR) Networks and Histogram Gradient Boosting Regression (HGBR) are used for this purpose. These models, in turn, predict wild blueberry production using the Marine Predators Algorithm (MPA) and Northern Goshawk Optimization (NGO).
