Secure Your Network: Building a Hybrid Intrusion Detection System in Java

Abstract: To protect the system from different types of intrusions, an intrusion detection system ID is required. It is essential to analyse the communication in order to classify the material as malicious or helpful. The usage of intrusion detection systems for cyber security shouldn't add to the processing time required for classification. These days, classification algorithms are utilized in conjunction with machine learning approaches to identify harmful data or intrusions. KDD cup 99 is the data set that was used in the experiment. Hybrid classification models can be used to adjust the performance of individual classification methods. This model blends rule-based algorithms with categorization techniques. An additional degree of security is provided by the combination of machine and human intelligence in classification. Precision, recall, F-Measure, and Mean Age Precision are used to validate an algorithm. The algorithm has a 92.35 percent accuracy rate. Even after merging our human-written criteria with traditional machine learning classification techniques, the model's accuracy is still considered satisfactory. However, there is still room for improvement and a more specific classification of the attack

Assessment of artificial intelligence to detect gasoline in fire debris using HS-SPME-GC/MS and transfer learning.

Due to the complex nature of the chemical compositions of ignitable liquids (IL) and the interferences from fire debris matrices, interpreting chromatographic data poses challenges to analysts. In this work, artificial intelligence (AI) was developed by transfer learning in a convolutional neural network (CNN), GoogLeNet. The image classification AI was fine-tuned to create intelligent classification systems to discriminate samples containing gasoline residues from burned substrates. All ground truth samples were analyzed by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with a gas chromatograph and mass spectrometer (GC/MS). The HS-SPME-GC/MS data were transformed into three types of image presentations, that is, heatmaps, extracted ion heatmaps, and total ion chromatograms. The abundance and mass-to-charge ratios of each scan were converted into image patterns that are characteristic of the chemical profiles of gasoline. The transfer learning data were labeled as "gasoline present" and "gasoline absent" classes. The assessment results demonstrated that all AI models achieved 100 ± 0% accuracy in identifying neat gasoline. When the models were assessed using the spiked samples, the AI model developed using the extracted ion heatmap obtained the highest accuracy rate (95.9 ± 0.4%), which was greater than those obtained by other machine learning models, ranging from 17.3 ± 0.7% to 78.7 ± 0.7%. The proposed work demonstrated that the heatmaps created from GC/MS data can represent chemical features from the samples. Additionally, the pretrained CNN models are readily available in the transfer learning workflow to develop AI for GC/MS data interpretation in fire debris analysis.

Discovery of Jupiter Family Comet 2011 UG104 Through AI Enhanced Citizen Science

We report the discovery of cometary activity from minor planet 2011 UG104, which we classify as a Jupiter Family Comet (JFC). This discovery was aided by our Artificial Intelligence (AI) classification system: TailNet. JFC's, short-period comets with eccentric Jupiter-crossing orbits, originate from the Kuiper Belt and thus give us unique insight into the composition and distribution of volatiles in the outer solar system, past and present. Our AI assistant TailNet first classified 2011 UG104 as active, which was affirmed by Citizen Scientists on our NASA Partner Program Active Asteroids. Through further archival image searches our science team found evidence of activity on 2011 UG104 on three separate observations from 2021 February to 2021 April (81.°8 < f < 95.°0).

An intelligent model for classifying supraventricular tachycardia mechanisms based on 12-lead wearable electrocardiogram devices

To develop an intelligent model for differential diagnosis of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) and atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia (AVRT) using 12-lead wearable electrocardiogram devices. A total of 356 samples of 12-lead supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) electrocardiograms recorded by wearable devices were randomly divided into training and validation sets using 5-fold cross validation to establish the intelligent classification model, and 101 patients with the diagnosis of SVT undergoing electrophysiological studies and radiofrequency ablation from October, 2021 to March, 2023 were selected as the testing set. The changes in electrocardiogram parameters before and during induced tachycardia were compared. Based on multiscale deep neural network, an intelligent diagnosis model for classifying SVT mechanisms was constructed and validated. The 3-lead electrocardiogram signals from Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅴ1 were extracted to build new classification models, whose diagnostic efficacy was compared with that of the 12-lead model. Of the 101 patients with SVT in the testing set, 68 were diagnosed with AVNRT and 33 were diagnosed with AVRT by electrophysiological study. The pre-trained model achieved a high area under the precision-recall curve (0.9492) and F1 score (0.8195) for identifying AVNRT in the validation set. The total F1 scores of the lead Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅴ1, 3-lead and 12-lead intelligent diagnostic models in the testing set were 0.5597, 0.6061, 0.3419, 0.6003 and 0.6136, respectively. Compared with the 12-lead classification model, the lead-Ⅲ model had a net reclassification index improvement of -0.029 (P=0.878) and an integrated discrimination index improvement of -0.005 (P=0.965). The intelligent diagnostic model based on multiscale deep neural network using wearable electrocardiogram devices has an acceptable accuracy for classifying SVT mechanisms.

Adap-BDCM: Adaptive Bilinear Dynamic Cascade Model for Classification Tasks on CNV Datasets.

Copy number variation (CNV) is an essential genetic driving factor of cancer formation and progression, making intelligent classification based on CNV feasible. However, there are a few challenges in the current machine learning and deep learning methods, such as the design of base classifier combination schemes in ensemble methods and the selection of layers of neural networks, which often result in low accuracy. Therefore, an adaptive bilinear dynamic cascade model (Adap-BDCM) is developed to further enhance the accuracy and applicability of these methods for intelligent classification on CNV datasets. In this model, a feature selection module is introduced to mitigate the interference of redundant information, and a bilinear model based on the gated attention mechanism is proposed to extract more beneficial deep fusion features. Furthermore, an adaptive base classifier selection scheme is designed to overcome the difficulty of manually designing base classifier combinations and enhance the applicability of the model. Lastly, a novel feature fusion scheme with an attribute recall submoduleis constructed, effectively avoiding getting stuck in local solutions and missing some valuable information. Numerous experiments have demonstrated that our Adap-BDCM model exhibits optimal performance in cancer classification, stage prediction, and recurrence on CNV datasets. This study can assist physicians in making diagnoses faster and better.

Soil classification based on unsupervised learning using cone penetration test data

Borehole data obtained during geological surveys are the most essential source for understanding soil stratification. It is a prerequisite to know the soil classes up to some depths prior to any construction. However, the direct method to identify the soil classes by drilling boreholes and testing soil samples is costly. A cost-effective alternative is the Cone Penetration Testing (CPT), which is one of the most popular soil investigation methods. This paper explores the intelligent classification of soil layers based on CPT data using three unsupervised machine learning methods: K-means, Gaussian Mixture Process, and BIRCH. The research investigates the classification performance of different models in scenarios with 2 combinations, 3 combinations, 4 combinations, and 5 combinations. The results indicate that the Gaussian Mixture Process method exhibits the best classification performance, followed by the BIRCH method, while K-means performs relatively poorly. Using unsupervised learning for intelligent soil layer classification offers a fast and clear process, but the accuracy still requires further improvement. This study provides a valuable reference for future soil classification studies.

Exploring an Intelligent Classification Model for the Recognition of Automobile Sounds Based on EEG Physiological Signals

The advancement of an intelligent automobile sound switching system has the potential to elevate the market standing of automotive products, with the pivotal prerequisite being the selection of automobile sounds based on the driver’s subjective perception. The subjective responses of diverse individuals to sounds can be objectively manifested through EEG signals. Therefore, EEG signals are employed herein to attain the recognition of automobile sounds. A subjective evaluation and EEG signal acquisition experiment are designed involving the stimulation of three distinct types of automobile sounds, namely comfort, power, and technology sounds, and a comprehensive database of EEG signals corresponding to these three sound qualities is established. Then, a specific transfer learning model based on a convolutional neural network (STL-CNN) is formulated, where the method of training the upper layer parameters with the fixed bottom weights is proposed to adaptively extract the EEG features related to automobile sounds. These improvements contribute to improving the generalization ability of the model and realizing the recognition of automobile sounds fused with EEG signals. The results of the comparison with traditional support vector machine (SVM) and convolutional neural network (CNN) models demonstrate that the accuracy of the test set of the STL-CNN model reaches 91.5%. Moreover, its comprehensive performance, coupled with the ability to adapt to individual differences, surpasses that of both SVM and CNN models. The demonstrated method in the recognition of automobile sounds based on EEG signals is of significance for the future implementation of switching driving sound modes fused with EEG signals.

A sensitivity indicator screening and intelligent classification method for the diagnosis of T2D-CHD.

The prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D) and its significant role in increasing Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) risk highlights the urgent need for effective CHD screening within this population. Despite current advancements in T2D management, the complexity of cardiovascular complications persists. Our study aims to develop a comprehensive CHD screening model for T2D patients, employing multimodal data to improve early detection and management, addressing a critical gap in clinical practice. We analyzed data from 699 patients, including 471 with CHD (221 of these also had T2D) and a control group of 228 without CHD. Employing strict diagnostic criteria, we conducted significance testing and multivariate analysis to identify key indicators for T2D-CHD diagnosis. This led to the creation of a neural network model using 21 indicators and a logistic regression model based on an 8-indicator subset. External validation was performed with an independent dataset from an additional 212 patients to confirm the models' generalizability. The neural network model achieved an accuracy of 90.7%, recall of 90.78%, precision of 90.83%, and an F-1 score of 0.908. The logistic regression model demonstrated an accuracy of 90.13%, recall of 90.1%, precision of 90.22%, and an F-1 score of 0.9016. External validation reinforced the models' reliability and effectiveness in broader clinical settings. Our AI-driven diagnostic models significantly enhance early CHD detection and management in T2D patients, offering a novel, efficient approach to addressing the complex interplay between these conditions. By leveraging advanced analytics and comprehensive patient data, we present a scalable solution for improving clinical outcomes in this high-risk population, potentially setting a new standard in personalized care and preventative medicine.

Intelligent Recognition of Valid Microseismic Events Based on Self-supervised Learning

The identification of valid microseismic events is a crucial stage in the processing of microseismic data and plays a central role in subsequent monitoring and early warning of rockburst disasters. However, obtaining microseismic data is difficult, and manually identifying effective microseismic signals is even more challenging. Therefore, exploring high-precision intelligent classification methods with limited labeled data is necessary. In this study, we applied a self-supervised learning method based on contrastive learning to classify small samples of labeled data. Firstly, use large unlabeled data to pre-train SimCLR (a simple contrastive learning framework) for transfer learning to classify small sample labeled data. The classification accuracy was 87.14%, an increase of 11.3% compared to the supervised-deep-learning method. Furthermore, we directly applied the pre-trained SimCLR to the microseismic data of various projects, achieving a classification accuracy of 86.70%. This demonstrates strong classification performance and generalization and provides valuable technical support for the subsequent monitoring and warning of rockburst disasters.

Reinvestigating the performance of artificial intelligence classification algorithms on COVID-19 X-Ray and CT images

There are concerns that artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms may create underdiagnosis bias by mislabeling patient individuals with certain attributes (e.g., female and young) as healthy. Addressing this bias is crucial given the urgent need for AI diagnostics facing rapidly spreading infectious diseases like COVID-19. We find the prevalent AI diagnostic models show an underdiagnosis rate among specific patient populations, and the underdiagnosis rate is higher in some intersectional specific patient populations (for example, females aged 20-40 years). Additionally, we find training AI models on heterogeneous datasets (positive and negative samples from different datasets) may lead to poor model generalization. The model's classification performance varies significantly across test sets, with the accuracy of the better performance being over 40% higher than that of the poor performance. In conclusion, we developed an AI bias analysis pipeline to help researchers recognize and address biases that impact medical equality and ethics.

Using deep learning-based artificial intelligence electronic images in improving middle school teachers' literacy.

With the rapid development of societal information, electronic educational resources have become an indispensable component of modern education. In response to the increasingly formidable challenges faced by secondary school teachers, this study endeavors to analyze and explore the application of artificial intelligence (AI) methods to enhance their cognitive literacy. Initially, this discourse delves into the application of AI-generated electronic images in the training and instruction of middle school educators, subjecting it to thorough analysis. Emphasis is placed on elucidating the pivotal role played by AI electronic images in elevating the proficiency of middle school teachers. Subsequently, an integrated intelligent device serves as the foundation for establishing a model that applies intelligent classification and algorithms based on the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO). This model is designed to assess the cognitive literacy and teaching efficacy of middle school educators, and its performance is juxtaposed with classification algorithms such as support vector machine (SVM) and decision trees. The findings reveal that, following 600 iterations of the model, the SVM algorithm achieves a 77% accuracy rate in recognizing teacher literacy, whereas the SOLO algorithm attains 80%. Concurrently, the spatial complexities of the SVM-based and SOLO-based intelligent literacy improvement models are determined to be 45 and 22, respectively. Notably, it is discerned that, with escalating iterations, the SOLO algorithm exhibits higher accuracy and reduced spatial complexity in evaluating teachers' pedagogical literacy. Consequently, the utilization of AI methodologies proves highly efficacious in advancing electronic imaging technology and enhancing the efficacy of image recognition in educational instruction.

DANNMCTG: Domain-Adversarial Training of Neural Network for multicenter antenatal cardiotocography signal classification

Intelligent classification of cardiotocography (CTG) based on machine learning (ML), a useful tool to improve the accuracy of fetal abnormality detection, can assist obstetricians with clinical decisions. With the advancement of information technologies and medical devices, there are development opportunities for multicenter clinical research and obtaining more digital CTG signals. However, most of the existing clinical multicenter CTG datasets are partially annotated and have discrepancies which do not satisfy the ML condition of independent identical distribution. Therefore, this paper focuses on an unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) algorithm to realize cross-domain intelligent classification of multimodal CTG signals. We propose a method dubbed domain adversarial training of neural network for multicenter CTG (DANNMCTG), which mainly consists of a label classifier, a feature extractor and a domain discriminator. To match different distribution of fetal heart rate (FHR), uterine contraction (UC) and fetal movement (FetMov) signals, we condition the domain alignment on label predictions by defining the multi-linear map. For analysis, two datasets from the hospital central station and home monitoring devices were considered as the source and target domains. The results showed that the accuracy value, F1 value and area under the curve (AUC) value of the DANNMCTG were 71.25%, 76.08% and 0.7705, respectively. This method significantly improved the performance of the deep learning models without exploiting any information in the target domain, and outperformed the state-of-the-art UDA algorithms for CTG classification. In summary, the DANNMCTG can effectively mitigate the influence of domain shift for multicenter intelligent prenatal fetal monitoring.

A Comparative Study and Improved Bearing Fault Classifier Using Raw Vibration Data Under Limited Training Samples

Artificial intelligence is gaining traction in bearing fault detection and diagnosis. Generally, signal processing and feature selection are carried out to facilitate the fault classification process; however, classification accuracy tends to degrade under limited training data. In this paper, various artificial intelligence (AI) classification models are studied and compared using raw vibration data without signal processing and feature engineering. A Cosine k-Nearest Neighbours (CosKNN)-based classification model is optimized by integrating a Segmentive Mechanism, resulting in an overall classification F1-score improvement to 90.8% compared to the original classifier's 76.9%. The comparative findings show that the proposed model is suitable for circumstances with limited availability of training data, signal processing tools, and feature engineering tuning.

An Analysis of the WPT Function for Pattern Optimization to Detect Defects in Bearings

New trends in maintenance techniques are oriented to digitization and prognosis. The new electronic devices based on IoT (Internet of Things) technology among others that support the industry 4.0 paradigm let enhance the traditional condition monitoring techniques to better understand and predict the state of a machine in service. Related to maintenance applications, one of the important steps in condition monitoring tasks for fault diagnosis is the selection of the optimal pattern to provide accurate results (avoiding fault positives/negatives) with adequate computation time. When implementing this, the selection of optimal parameters and thresholds for setting alarms are important to detect problems in the machine before the failure occurs. Vibratory signals have been proved to be a good variable to determine their mechanical behavior. Nevertheless, parameters obtained from time domain measurements are not computationally efficient nor good patterns to compare different machine conditions. In this sense, tools that represent the frequency domain or time–frequency domain have been useful to detect defects in rotating elements such as bearings. In this work, defects in ball bearings are studied using wavelet packet transform. For this, a methodology will be developed for the optimal selection of the mother wavelet, incorporating intelligent classification systems, and using a medium Gaussian support vector machine model. In this way, it will be verified that the correct selection of this function influences both the results and the ease and reliability of detection. The results using the selected mother wavelet will be compared to those using Daubechies 6, since it is the mother wavelet that has been used in previous works and which was selected based on experience. For it, vibratory signals are obtained from a testbench with different bearing conditions: healthy bearings and defective bearings (inner and outer race).

Two-sided platform customer classification system based on network DEA: an application to an on-demand freight platform

Two-sided platforms include two parts of users, customers and suppliers, which are the key strategic resources in two-sided platforms. Through Customer Intelligence Classification (CIC) management provided in this study, a platform can distinguish different values of customers to allocate resources efficiently and maximise customer resource value and enterprise investment returns. Meanwhile platform can also distinguish collusive drivers through CIC. Network Data Envelopment Analysis (NDEA) is applied in this research to open the black box of a two-sided platform operation system by dividing it into two sub-processes: Marketing and Service (MS) sub-process and Value-Creating (VC) sub-process. Four categories of customers are classified through performance evaluated by NDEA from data of an on-demand freight platform Z from March to August in 2018. In addition, six influencing factors are discovered through Panel Regression Model. The main conclusions are: (1) Customer with high marketing service valuation and low value-creating valuation, needs proper operation methods to promote their order quality. (2) Customer with low marketing service valuation and high value-creating valuation, needs to take attention to collusion between customers and driver. (3) Shipping fee, client number, driver number and coupons per order should become customers’ Key Performance Indicators to evaluate their potential.

Information-seeking dialogue for explainable artificial intelligence: Modelling and analytics

Explainable artificial intelligence has become a vitally important research field aiming, among other tasks, to justify predictions made by intelligent classifiers automatically learned from data. Importantly, efficiency of automated explanations may be undermined if the end user does not have sufficient domain knowledge or lacks information about the data used for training. To address the issue of effective explanation communication, we propose a novel information-seeking explanatory dialogue game following the most recent requirements to automatically generated explanations. Further, we generalise our dialogue model in form of an explanatory dialogue grammar which makes it applicable to interpretable rule-based classifiers that are enhanced with the capability to provide textual explanations. Finally, we carry out an exploratory user study to validate the corresponding dialogue protocol and analyse the experimental results using insights from process mining and argument analytics. A high number of requests for alternative explanations testifies the need for ensuring diversity in the context of automated explanations.

Accurate detection and intelligent classification of solar cells defects based on photoluminescence images: A novel study on the optimized YOLOv5 model

In the production process of solar cells, inevitable faults such as cracks, dirt, dark spots, and scratches may occur, which could potentially impact the lifespan and power generation efficiency of solar cells. Addressing this issue, this paper combines neural networks with photoluminescence detection technology and proposes a novel neural network model for the classification and grading of defects in solar cells. Firstly, the YOLOv5 model is optimized and adjusted for algorithm and network structure. The optimization process is divided into three parts: global optimization of the network structure, optimization of the neck network structure, and optimization of the head structure, each addressing specific issues in recognition, detection, and classification. The impact of the optimized network model on recognition and detection speed is analyzed, and solutions are proposed to address any observed effects. Additionally, an iterative update of neural network hyperparameter combinations is performed for solar cell defect identification. Finally, using the ultimately optimized model structure in conjunction with the optimal hyperparameter combination, comparative experiments are conducted on neural networks for different target identification using the photoluminescence characteristics dataset of solar cells. The recognition improvement of the optimized model and its differences from other models are analyzed.

A novel approach for intelligent diagnosis and grading of diabetic retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a severe ocular complication of diabetes that can lead to vision damage and even blindness. Currently, traditional deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) used for DR grading tasks face two primary challenges: (1) insensitivity to minority classes due to imbalanced data distribution, and (2) neglecting the relationship between the left and right eyes by utilizing the fundus image of only one eye for training without differentiating between them. To tackle these challenges, we proposed the DRGCNN (DR Grading CNN) model. To solve the problem caused by imbalanced data distribution, our model adopts a more balanced strategy by allocating an equal number of channels to feature maps representing various DR categories. Furthermore, we introduce a CAM-EfficientNetV2-M encoder dedicated to encoding input retinal fundus images for feature vector generation. The number of parameters of our encoder is 52.88 M, which is less than RegNet_y_16gf (80.57 M) and EfficientNetB7 (63.79 M), but the corresponding kappa value is higher. Additionally, in order to take advantage of the binocular relationship, we input fundus retinal images from both eyes of the patient into the network for features fusion during the training phase. We achieved a kappa value of 86.62% on the EyePACS dataset and 86.16% on the Messidor-2 dataset. Experimental results on these representative datasets for diabetic retinopathy (DR) demonstrate the exceptional performance of our DRGCNN model, establishing it as a highly competitive intelligent classification model in the field of DR. The code is available for use at https://github.com/Fat-Hai/DRGCNN.
