In recent years, Sign Language Recognition (SLR) has become an additional topic of discussion in the human–computer interface (HCI) field. The most significant difficulty confronting SLR recognition is finding algorithms that will scale effectively with a growing vocabulary size and a limited supply of training data for signer-independent applications. Due to its sensitivity to shape information, automated SLR based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) cannot characterize the confusing distributions of the observations in gesture features with sufficiently precise parameters. In order to simulate uncertainty in hypothesis spaces, many scholars provide an extension of the HMMs, utilizing higher-order fuzzy sets to generate interval-type-2 fuzzy HMMs. This expansion is helpful because it brings the uncertainty and fuzziness of conventional HMM mapping under control. The neutrosophic sets are used in this work to deal with indeterminacy in a practical SLR setting. Existing interval-type-2 fuzzy HMMs cannot consider uncertain information that includes indeterminacy. However, the neutrosophic hidden Markov model successfully identifies the best route between states when there is vagueness. This expansion is helpful because it brings the uncertainty and fuzziness of conventional HMM mapping under control. The neutrosophic three membership functions (truth, indeterminate, and falsity grades) provide more layers of autonomy for assessing HMM’s uncertainty. This approach could be helpful for an extensive vocabulary and hence seeks to solve the scalability issue. In addition, it may function independently of the signer, without needing data gloves or any other input devices. The experimental results demonstrate that the neutrosophic HMM is nearly as computationally difficult as the fuzzy HMM but has a similar performance and is more robust to gesture variations.

There is no doubting that contemporary technology creates new hazards, and these threats are many and significant, directly harming people's lives and threatening their stability. Because of the increased use of computers and Internet-connected cellphones in recent years, the problem of cybercrime has expanded substantially. Unquestionably, this kind of crime is now a reality that jeopardizes people's reputations and lives, therefore we must be aware of it to prevent being a victim. The exponential growth in internet connectedness is closely tied to a rise in cyberattack incidences, frequently with significant consequences. Malware is the weapon of choice for carrying out malicious intent in cyberspace, whether by exploiting pre-existing flaws or exploiting the unique properties of new technology. There is an urgent need in the cybersecurity area to develop more inventive and effective virus defense techniques. To do this, we first give an overview of the most often exploited vulnerabilities in the current hardware, software, and network layers. This follows criticism of the most recent mitigation efforts and the reasons why they may or may not be helpful. Following that, We'll talk about new attack methods for cutting-edge technologies including social networking, cloud computing, mobile technology, as well as critical infrastructure. We conclude by sharing our speculative findings on potential future research avenues.

The emergence of geospatial big data has opened up new avenues for identifying urban environments. Although both geographic information systems (GIS) and expert systems (ES) have been useful in resolving geographical decision issues, they are not without their own shortcomings. The combination of GIS and ES has gained popularity due to the necessity of boosting the effectiveness of these tools in resolving very difficult spatial decision-making problems. The clustering method generates the functional effects necessary to apply spatial analysis techniques. In a symmetric clustering system, two or more nodes run applications and monitor each other simultaneously. This system is more efficient than an asymmetric system since it utilizes all available hardware and does not maintain a node in a hot standby state. However, it is still a major issue to figure out how to expand and speed up clustering algorithms without sacrificing efficiency. The work presented in this paper introduces an optimized hierarchical distributed k-medoid symmetric clustering algorithm for big data spatial query processing. To increase the k-medoid method’s efficiency and create more precise clusters, a hybrid approach combining the k-medoid and Chemical Reaction Optimization (CRO) techniques is presented. CRO is used in this approach to broaden the scope of the optimal medoid and improve clustering by obtaining more accurate data. The suggested paradigm solves the current technique’s issue of predicting the accurate clusters’ number. The suggested approach includes two phases: in the first phase, the local clusters are built using Apache Spark’s parallelism paradigm based on their portion of the whole dataset. In the second phase, the local clusters are merged to create condensed and reliable final clusters. The suggested approach condenses the data provided during aggregation and creates the ideal clusters’ number automatically based on the dataset’s structures. The suggested approach is robust and delivers high-quality results for spatial query analysis, as shown by experimental results. The proposed model reduces average query latency by 23%.
