However, conventional protection technologies are ineffective against current attacks. Thus, new tools have appeared, such as the intrusion detection and prediction systems which are important defense elements for network security since they detect the ongoing intrusions and predict the upcoming attacks. Besides, most of conventional protection technologies remain insufficient in terms of actions since they are all passive systems, unable to provide recommendations in order to block or stop the attacks. In this paper, a distributed detection and prediction system, composed of three major parts, is proposed. The first part deals with the detection of intrusions based on the decision tree learning algorithm. The second part deals with intrusions prediction using the chronicle algorithm. The third part proposes an expert system for security recommendations in response to detected intrusions, able to provide appropriate recommendations to stop the attacks. The proposed system gives good results in terms of accuracy and precision in detecting and predicting attacks, and efficiency in proposing the right recommendations to stop the attacks.","PeriodicalId":44076,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Engineering Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140479467","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}

An ESG engine must enable the emergence in the game, in order to allow its adaptation to the specific environment where it is being used. In previous articles, different components of an ESG engine have been proposed. This paper proposes a strategy adaptive system (SAS) for ESG, which allows the emergence of strategies in a videogame. Particularly, SAS manages the emergence of new procedures or methods (tactics), as well as actions (logistics), among other things, in the ESG, to adapt it to the environment. This component is based on a Fuzzy Classifier System that generates new rules, tactics, etc. in the game to follow the desired behavior. In this article, SAS is applied in a smart classroom (SaCI, for its acronym in Spanish), in such a way that allows the adaptation of an ESG to the students in SaCI. Especially, it is used during their teaching-learning processes. Additionally, this paper analyzes the performance of SAS in SaCI, with very encouraging results, since the quality of the strategies proposed by SAS (defined by rules that define the logic and tactics of the game) is improved in all case studies. This improvement is confirmed because the average use of the rules generated by our adaptive system is greater than 3.6, when the initial rules are used on average less than once.","PeriodicalId":44076,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Engineering Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140482488","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}

Fine-tuning multiple hyperparameters enables to customize this process based on unique features of datasets and networks. The generated maps, which are trained on public GPS data, are compared to a ground truth from Open Street Map (OSM).

However, these enterprises have low financial information transparency, small scale, and high development uncertainty. Therefore, combining the characteristics of the internet economy, it is of great significance to dynamically evaluate credit risk. This not only helps to enhance the quality and rationality of credit risk evaluation results, but also helps to improve financing efficiency and reduce financing risks. The credit evaluation for small and micro enterprises is a multiple-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM). Recently, the TODIM (an acronym in Portuguese of interactive and multicriteria decision making) and TOPSIS method has been inaugurated to cope with MAGDM issues. The 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic sets (2TLNSs) are inaugurated as an effective tool for characterizing uncertain information during the credit evaluation for small and micro enterprises. In this paper, the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic TODIM-TOPSIS (2TLNN-TODIM-TOPSIS) method is inaugurated to solve the MAGDM under 2TLNSs. Finally, a numerical case study for credit evaluation for small and micro enterprises is inaugurated to confirm the proposed method. The prime contribution of this paper are outlined: (1) The information entropy based on score function and accuracy function are built on the 2TLNSs to obtain weight information; (2) an integrated the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic TODIM-TOPSIS (2TLNN-TODIM-TOPSIS) method is established to cope with MAGDM; (3) An illustrative example for credit evaluation for small and micro enterprises has accomplished to illustrate the 2TLNN-TODIM-TOPSIS; (4) some comparative analysis are employed to verify the 2TLNN-TODIM-TOPSIS method.","PeriodicalId":44076,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Engineering Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139615195","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 ensure efficient platoon traffic, it is essential to effectively manage both speed and direction within this group of vehicles. It is in this context that this research is situated. Our primary objective is to enhance the performance of speed and direction controllers, as the ability of vehicles to adjust these parameters in a coordinated manner is crucial for the success of platoon traffic. To achieve this, we have developed a novel speed control approach based on neural networks and fuzzy logic, utilizing V2X communication. By incorporating environmental parameters through vehicle-to-vehicle communication and considering the specific goals of the platoon, our neuro-fuzzy system can accurately calculate optimal speeds and directions for the vehicles. Our experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of this approach compared to traditional and advanced methods, improving both energy efficiency and temporal coordination of autonomous vehicles within the platoon.","PeriodicalId":44076,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Engineering Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140510446","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}

Local universities should actively promote the reform of talent cultivation models, establish a scientific “innovation and Entrepreneurship” education target system based on the actual situation of the school, strengthen the construction of “innovation and Entrepreneurship” education courses, build various “innovation and Entrepreneurship” practice platforms, pay attention to the interaction between the first and second classrooms, as well as practical and training platforms, serve the growth and talent development of students, and achieve a comprehensive improvement in the quality of school education, teaching, and talent cultivation. The “innovation and Entrepreneurship” education quality evaluation of local colleges could be considered as multiple attribute decision-making (MADM). Recently, the Combined Compromise Solution (CoCoSo) method and information entropy method was employed to deal with MADM. The triangular fuzzy neutrosophic sets (TFNSs) are employed as a better tool for expressing uncertain information during the “innovation and Entrepreneurship” education quality evaluation of local colleges. In this paper, the triangular fuzzy neutrosophic number CoCoSo (TFNN-CoCoSo) based on the TFNN grey rational coefficients (TFNNGRC) from TFNN positive ideal solution (TFNNPIS) is constructed to cope with the MADM under TFNSs. The information entropy method is employed to compute the weight values based on the TFNNGRC from TFNNPIS under TFNSs.

Despite the considerable amount of research on MTL, the majority of it has been centered around English language, while other language such as Arabic have not received as much attention. Most existing Arabic NLP techniques concentrate on single or multitask learning, sharing just a limited number of tasks, between two or three tasks. To address this gap, we present ArMT-TNN, an Arabic Multi-Task Learning using Transformer Neural Network, designed for Arabic natural language understanding (ANLU) tasks. Our approach involves sharing learned information between eight ANLU tasks, allowing for a single model to solve all of them. We achieve this by fine-tuning all tasks simultaneously and using multiple pre-trained Bidirectional Transformer language models, like BERT, that are specifically designed for Arabic language processing. Additionally, we explore the effectiveness of various Arabic language models (LMs) that have been pre-trained on different types of Arabic text, such as Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Arabic dialects. Our approach demonstrated outstanding performance compared to all current models on four test sets within the ALUE benchmark, namely MQ2Q, OOLD, SVREG, and SEC, by margins of 3.9%, 3.8%, 10.1%, and 3.7%, respectively. Nonetheless, our approach did not perform as well on the remaining tasks due to the negative transfer of knowledge. This finding highlights the importance of carefully selecting tasks when constructing a benchmark. Our experiments also show that LMs which were pretrained on text types that differ from the text type used for finetuned tasks can still perform well.","PeriodicalId":44076,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Engineering Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139626558","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}

Question Answering Systems offer an automated approach to procuring answers to queries expressed in natural language. The need for Multilingual Question Answering without performing machine translation is ever existing.

This paper presents an automated answer evaluation system for reading comprehension-based questions in the Hindi language without requiring translation in any other language. The system accepts text, question, and handwritten answer of a student in the form of an image for answer evaluation. This is accomplished by developing a textual question-answering system for reading comprehension. It is an extractive approach that utilizes RoBERTa transformer model and fine-tunes it for Hindi question-answering. The answer to the question is extracted as a span from the provided text. Further, a handwritten text recognizer model is developed employing a Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network with Connectionist Temporal Classification module along with two layers of Bidirectional LSTM. Experimentation is performed using existing as well as self-created datasets to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach. An accuracy of 98.69% is obtained on the self-created Hindi-QA dataset and the proposed system outperformed the other existing methods.
