Multi-Objective Seagull Optimization Algorithm with Deep Learning-Enabled Vulnerability Detection for Secure Cloud Environments.

Cloud computing (CC) is an internet-enabled environment that provides computing services such as networking, databases, and servers to clients and organizations in a cost-effective manner. Despite the benefits rendered by CC, its security remains a prominent concern to overcome. An intrusion detection system (IDS) is generally used to detect both normal and anomalous behavior in networks. The design of IDS using a machine learning (ML) technique comprises a series of methods that can learn patterns from data and forecast the outcomes consequently. In this background, the current study designs a novel multi-objective seagull optimization algorithm with a deep learning-enabled vulnerability detection (MOSOA-DLVD) technique to secure the cloud platform. The MOSOA-DLVD technique uses the feature selection (FS) method and hyperparameter tuning strategy to identify the presence of vulnerabilities or attacks in the cloud infrastructure. Primarily, the FS method is implemented using the MOSOA technique. Furthermore, the MOSOA-DLVD technique uses a deep belief network (DBN) method for intrusion detection and its classification. In order to improve the detection outcomes of the DBN algorithm, the sooty tern optimization algorithm (STOA) is applied for the hyperparameter tuning process. The performance of the proposed MOSOA-DLVD system was validated with extensive simulations upon a benchmark IDS dataset. The improved intrusion detection results of the MOSOA-DLVD approach with a maximum accuracy of 99.34% establish the proficiency of the model compared with recent methods.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Detection Machine Learning Model Based on Optimized Feature Selection and Explainable Artificial Intelligence.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been classified as a severe health problem common among women globally. Early detection and treatment of PCOS reduce the possibility of long-term complications, such as increasing the chances of developing type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes. Therefore, effective and early PCOS diagnosis will help the healthcare systems to reduce the disease's problems and complications. Machine learning (ML) and ensemble learning have recently shown promising results in medical diagnostics. The main goal of our research is to provide model explanations to ensure efficiency, effectiveness, and trust in the developed model through local and global explanations. Feature selection methods with different types of ML models (logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), decision tree (DT), naive Bayes (NB), support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), xgboost, and Adaboost algorithm to get optimal feature selection and best model. Stacking ML models that combine the best base ML models with meta-learner are proposed to improve performance. Bayesian optimization is used to optimize ML models. Combining SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Oversampling Techniques) and ENN (Edited Nearest Neighbour) solves the class imbalance. The experimental results were made using a benchmark PCOS dataset with two ratios splitting 70:30 and 80:20. The result showed that the Stacking ML with REF feature selection recorded the highest accuracy at 100 compared to other models.

Binary Chimp Optimization Algorithm with ML Based Intrusion Detection for Secure IoT-Assisted Wireless Sensor Networks.

An Internet of Things (IoT)-assisted Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) is a system where WSN nodes and IoT devices together work to share, collect, and process data. This incorporation aims to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of data analysis and collection, resulting in automation and improved decision-making. Security in WSN-assisted IoT can be referred to as the measures initiated for protecting WSN linked to the IoT. This article presents a Binary Chimp Optimization Algorithm with Machine Learning based Intrusion Detection (BCOA-MLID) technique for secure IoT-WSN. The presented BCOA-MLID technique intends to effectively discriminate different types of attacks to secure the IoT-WSN. In the presented BCOA-MLID technique, data normalization is initially carried out. The BCOA is designed for the optimal selection of features to improve intrusion detection efficacy. To detect intrusions in the IoT-WSN, the BCOA-MLID technique employs a class-specific cost regulation extreme learning machine classification model with a sine cosine algorithm as a parameter optimization approach. The experimental result of the BCOA-MLID technique is tested on the Kaggle intrusion dataset, and the results showcase the significant outcomes of the BCOA-MLID technique with a maximum accuracy of 99.36%, whereas the XGBoost and KNN-AOA models obtained a reduced accuracy of 96.83% and 97.20%, respectively.

Emerging framework for attack detection in cyber-physical systems using heuristic-based optimization algorithm.

In recent days, cyber-physical systems (CPS) have become a new wave generation of human life, exploiting various smart and intelligent uses of automotive systems. In these systems, information is shared through networks, and data is collected from multiple sensor devices. This network has sophisticated control, wireless communication, and high-speed computation. These features are commonly available in CPS, allowing multi-users to access and share information through the network via remote access. Therefore, protecting resources and sensitive information in the network is essential. Many research works have been developed for detecting insecure networks and attacks in the network. This article introduces a framework, namely Deep Bagging Convolutional Neural Network with Heuristic Multiswarm Ant Colony Optimization (DCNN-HMACO), designed to enhance the secure transmission of information, improve efficiency, and provide convenience in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). The proposed framework aims to detect attacks in CPS effectively. Compared to existing methods, the DCNN-HMACO framework significantly improves attack detection rates and enhances overall system protection. While the accuracy rates of CNN and FCM are reported as 72.12% and 79.56% respectively, our proposed framework achieves a remarkable accuracy rate of 92.14%.

Artificial intelligence enabled intrusion detection systems for cognitive cyber-physical systems in industry 4.0 environment.

In recent days, Cognitive Cyber-Physical System (CCPS) has gained significant interest among interdisciplinary researchers which integrates machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. This era is witnessing a rapid transformation in digital technology and AI where brain-inspired computing-based solutions will play a vital role in industrial informatics. The application of CCPS with brain-inspired computing in Industry 4.0 will create a significant impact on industrial evolution. Though the CCPSs in industrial environment offer several merits, security remains a challenging design issue. The rise of artificial intelligence AI techniques helps to address cybersecurity issues related to CCPS in industry 4.0 environment. With this motivation, this paper presents a new AI-enabled multimodal fusion-based intrusion detection system (AIMMF-IDS) for CCPS in industry 4.0 environment. The proposed model initially performs the data pre-processing technique in two ways namely data conversion and data normalization. In addition, improved fish swarm optimization based feature selection (IFSO-FS) technique is used for the appropriate selection of features. The IFSO technique is derived by the use of Levy Flight (LF) concept into the searching mechanism of the conventional FSO algorithm to avoid the local optima problem. Since the single modality is not adequate to accomplish enhanced detection performance, in this paper, a weighted voting based ensemble model is employed for the multimodal fusion process using recurrent neural network (RNN), bi-directional long short term memory (Bi-LSTM), and deep belief network (DBN), depicts the novelty of the work. The simulation analysis of the presented model highlighted the improved performance over the recent state of art techniques interms of different measures.

A Comparison of Decision Tree Algorithms in the Assessment of Biomedical Data.

By comparing the performance of various tree algorithms, we can determine which one is most useful for analyzing biomedical data. In artificial intelligence, decision trees are a classification model known for their visual aid in making decisions. WEKA software will evaluate biological data from real patients to see how well the decision tree classification algorithm performs. Another goal of this comparison is to assess whether or not decision trees can serve as an effective tool for medical diagnosis in general. In doing so, we will be able to see which algorithms are the most efficient and appropriate to use when delving into this data and arrive at an informed decision.

A Lightweight Hybrid Deep Learning Privacy Preserving Model for FC-Based Industrial Internet of Medical Things.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is gaining importance as most technologies and applications are integrated with the IIoT. Moreover, it consists of several tiny sensors to sense the environment and gather the information. These devices continuously monitor, collect, exchange, analyze, and transfer the captured data to nearby devices or servers using an open channel, i.e., internet. However, such centralized system based on IIoT provides more vulnerabilities to security and privacy in IIoT networks. In order to resolve these issues, we present a blockchain-based deep-learning framework that provides two levels of security and privacy. First a blockchain scheme is designed where each participating entities are registered, verified, and thereafter validated using smart contract based enhanced Proof of Work, to achieve the target of security and privacy. Second, a deep-learning scheme with a Variational AutoEncoder (VAE) technique for privacy and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) for intrusion detection is designed. The experimental results are based on the IoT-Botnet and ToN-IoT datasets that are publicly available. The proposed simulations results are compared with the benchmark models and it is validated that the proposed framework outperforms the existing system.
