Because of the massive increase in Internet access, various malicious malware have emerged and pose significant computer security threats. The numerous computing processes across the network have a high risk of being tampered with or exploited, which necessitates developing effective intrusion detection systems. Therefore, it is essential to build an effective cybersecurity model to detect the different anomalies or cyber-attacks in the network. This work introduces a new method known as Wavelet Deep Convolutional Neural Network (WDCNN) to classify cyber-attacks. The presented network combines WDCNN with Enhanced Rain Optimization Algorithm (EROA) to minimize the loss in the network. This proposed algorithm is designed to detect attacks in large-scale data and reduces the complexities of detection with maximum detection accuracy. The proposed method is implemented in PYTHON. The classification process is completed with the help of the two most famous datasets, KDD cup 1999 and CICMalDroid 2020. The performance of WDCNN_EROA can be assessed using parameters like specificity, accuracy, precision F-measure and recall. The results showed that the proposed method is about 98.72% accurate for the first dataset and 98.64% for the second dataset.","PeriodicalId":44688,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Image and Graphics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43506448","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}

Vanambathina","doi":"10.1142/s0219467824500438","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s0219467824500438","url":null,"abstract":"Over the past 10 years, deep learning has enabled significant advancements in the improvement of noisy speech. In an end-to-end speech enhancement, the deep neural networks transform a noisy speech signal to a clean speech signal in the time domain directly without any conversion or estimation of mask. Recently, the U-Net-based models achieved good enhancement performance. Despite this, some of them may neglect context-related information and detailed features of input speech in case of ordinary convolution. To address the above issues, recent studies have upgraded the performance of the model by adding various network modules such as attention mechanisms, long and short-term memory (LSTM). In this work, we propose a new U-Net-based speech enhancement model using a novel lightweight and efficient Shuffle Attention (SA), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), residual blocks with dilated convolutions. Residual block will be followed by a multi-scale convolution block (MSCB). The proposed hybrid structure enables the temporal context aggregation in time domain. The advantage of shuffle attention mechanism is that the channel and spatial attention are carried out simultaneously for each sub-feature in order to prevent potential noises while also highlighting the proper semantic feature areas by combining the same features from all locations. MSCB is employed for extracting rich temporal features. To represent the correlation between neighboring noisy speech frames, a two Layer GRU is added in the bottleneck of U-Net. The experimental findings demonstrate that the proposed model outperformed the other existing models in terms of short-time objective intelligibility (STOI), and perceptual evaluation of the speech quality (PESQ).","PeriodicalId":44688,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Image and Graphics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44076899","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}

They may help people lose weight, lower cholesterol, and blood sugar levels, lead to better gut, eye, and blood vessel health. The two main varieties farmed and exported in Turkey are kirmizi and siirt pistachios. Understanding how to detect the type of pistachio is essential as it plays an important role in trade. In this study, it is aimed to classify these two types of pistachios and analyze the performance of the various small-scale machine learning algorithms. 2148 sample images for these two kinds of pistachios were considered for this study which includes 1232 of Kirmizi type and 916 of Siirt type. In order to evaluate the model fairly, stratified random sampling is applied on the dataset. For feature extraction, we used deep neural network-based embeddings to acquire the vector representation of images. The classification of pistachio species is then performed using a variety of small-scale machine learning algorithms29,31 that have been trained using these feature vectors. As a result of this study, the success rate obtained from Logistic Regression through features extracted from the penultimate layer of Painters network is 97.20%. The performance of the models was evaluated through Class Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1 Score, and values of Area under the curve (AUC).

Nair","doi":"10.1142/s0219467824500347","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s0219467824500347","url":null,"abstract":"Blockchain mining pools assist in reducing computational load on individual miner nodes via distributing mining tasks. This distribution must be done in a non-redundant manner, so that each miner is able to calculate block hashes with optimum efficiency. To perform this task, a wide variety of mining optimization methods are proposed by researchers, and most of them distribute mining tasks via statistical request processing models. These models segregate mining requests into non-redundant sets, each of which will be processed by individual miners. But this division of requests follows a static procedure, and does not consider miner specific parameters for set creation, due to which overall efficiency of the underlying model is limited, which reduces its mining performance under real-time scenarios. To overcome this issue, an Incremental & Continuous Q-Learning Framework for generation of miner-specific task groups is proposed in this text. The model initially uses a Genetic Algorithm (GA) method to improve individual miner performance, and then applies Q-Learning to individual mining requests. The Reason for selecting GA model is that it assists in maintaining better speed-to-power (S2P) ratio by optimization of miner resources that are utilized during computations. While, the reason for selecting Q-Learning Model is that it is able to continuously identify miners performance, and create performance-based mining pools at a per-miner level. Due to application of Q-Learning, the model is able to assign capability specific mining tasks to individual miner nodes. Because of this capability-driven approach, the model is able to maximize efficiency of mining, while maintaining its QoS performance. The model was tested on different consensus methods including Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance Algorithm (PBFT), Proof-of-Work (PoW), Proof-of-Stake (PoS), and Delegated PoS (DPoS), and its performance was evaluated in terms of mining delay, miner efficiency, number of redundant calculations per miner, and energy efficiency for mining nodes. It was observed that the proposed GA based Q-Learning Model was able to reduce mining delay by 4.9%, improve miners efficiency by 7.4%, reduce number of redundant computations by 3.5%, and reduce energy required for mining by 7.1% when compared with various state-of-the-art mining optimization techniques. Similar performance improvement was observed when the model was applied on different blockchain deployments, thus indicating better scalability and deployment capability for multiple application scenarios.","PeriodicalId":44688,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Image and Graphics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46230671","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}

It also affects different degrees of vessel thickness, contextual feature fusion in technique, and perception of details. A deep learning-aided method has been presented to address these challenges in this paper. In the first phase, the preprocessing is performed using the retinal fundus images employed by the black ring removal, LAB conversion, CLAHE-based contrast enhancement, and grayscale image.

As an improvement to this deep learning architecture, the activation function is optimized by the J-AGSO algorithm. The objective function for the optimized ResUNet[Formula: see text]-based blood vessel segmentation is to minimize the binary cross-entropy loss function.
