Egwu","doi":"10.59298/nijep/2024/41916.1.1100","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.59298/nijep/2024/41916.1.1100","url":null,"abstract":"In an era dominated by an unprecedented deluge of textual information, the need for effective methods to make sense of large datasets is more pressing than ever. This article takes a pragmatic approach to unraveling the intricacies of topic modeling, with a specific focus on the widely used Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) algorithm. The initial segment of the article lays the groundwork by exploring the practical relevance of topic modeling in real-world scenarios. It addresses the everyday challenges faced by researchers and professionals dealing with vast amounts of unstructured text, emphasizing the potential of topic modeling to distill meaningful insights from seemingly chaotic data. Moving beyond theoretical abstraction, the article then delves into the mechanics of Latent Dirichlet Allocation. Developed in 2003 by Blei, Ng, and Jordan, LDA provides a probabilistic framework to identify latent topics within documents. The article takes a step-by-step approach to demystify LDA, offering a practical understanding of its components and the Bayesian principles governing its operation. A significant portion of the article is dedicated to the practical implementation of LDA. It provides insights into preprocessing steps, parameter tuning, and model evaluation, offering readers a hands-on guide to applying LDA in their own projects. Real-world examples and case studies showcase how LDA can be a valuable tool for tasks such as document clustering, topic summarization, and sentiment analysis. However, the journey through LDA is not without challenges, and the article candidly addresses these hurdles. Topics such as determining the optimal number of topics, the sensitivity of results to parameter settings, and the interpretability of outcomes are discussed. This realistic appraisal adds depth to the article, helping readers navigate the nuances and potential pitfalls of employing LDA in practice. Beyond the technical intricacies, the article explores the broad spectrum of applications where LDA has proven its efficacy. From text mining and information retrieval to social network analysis and healthcare informatics, LDA has left an indelible mark on diverse domains. Through practical examples, the article illustrates how LDA can be adapted to different contexts, showcasing its versatility as a tool for uncovering latent patterns.

However, this interconnectedness poses significant security challenges, primarily centered around confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This paper investigates the security issues embedded in the layers of IoT architecture, ranging from the perception layer to the application layer. By leveraging the Defense-in-Depth security mechanism, we propose a comprehensive approach to fortify IoT systems against cyber threats. The Defense-in-Depth strategy is illustrated through a layered model, addressing security concerns at the perimeter, host, OS/application, and data layers. The study explores various security measures applicable to each layer, emphasizing the need for a multi-faceted approach to ensure the robustness of IoT security.

Survey carried out using web research, study of documents and oral interview showed that all is not well with the way and manner real estate transaction is carried out in Asaba. The main objectives of this research work are to develop interactive website that can bring estate owners and customers together in real time without the stress of travelling to locate the property, thus saving time and cost and provide real time information on availability of property through proper advertisement. The methodology adopted for this research is Structural Systems Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM). The system was also implemented using Object Oriented PHP and MYSQL. The new system developed brought effectiveness and efficiency to the process of selling, buying and renting houses in Asaba. This further increased transparency, accountability, customer satisfaction and effective data collection from Asaba real estate industry.
