With the fast development of the Internet of Things (IoTs), phishing attacks are transferring to this domain because of the number of IoT devices and private data they can handle. IoT phishing suggests the malicious practice of targeting IoT devices and their users to steal sensitive data, gain unauthorized access, or compromise the safety and functionality of these devices. Phishing attacks in the framework of IoT take several procedures, comprising SMS phishing, email phishing, or even physical attacks on the devices themselves. Deep learning (DL) approaches are executed to improve the prevention and detection of IoT phishing attacks. Consequently, this article introduces a Dwarf Mongoose Optimization with deep learning for Phishing Attack Detection (DMODL-PAD) method in an IoT platform. The objective of the DMODL-PAD method is to utilize feature selection (FS) with a hyperparameter tuning strategy for automated phishing attack detection in the IoT platform. The DMODL-PAD method involves the DMO model, unlike the FS method. Afterwards, a hybrid stacked autoencoder (HSAE) model can execute the phishing attack detection process. The DMODL-PAD method uses a jellyfish search optimizer (JSO) for the hyperparameter tuning process. The experimentation validation of the DMODL-PAD technique has been examined under a benchmark database. The extensive outcomes portrayed the superior detection results of the DMODL-PAD technique over other recent methods. These results ensured that the DMODL-PAD technique could effectually detect phishing attacks from the IoT environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Gesture recognition for Arabic speech translation includes developing advanced technologies that correctly translate body and hand movements corresponding to Arabic sign language (ArSL) into spoken Arabic. This leverages machine learning and computer vision techniques in complex systems simulation platforms to scrutinize the gestures utilized in ArSL, detecting mild differences in facial expressions, hand shapes, and movements. Sign Language Recognition (SLR) is paramount in assisting communication for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing communities. It includes using vision-based methods and Surface Electromyography (sEMG) signals. The sEMG signal is crucial for recognizing hand gestures and capturing muscular activities in sign language. Researchers have comprehensively shown the capability of EMG signals to approach specific details, mainly in classifying hand gestures. This progression is a stimulating feature in extracting the interpretation and recognition of sign languages and investigating the phonology of signed language. Leveraging machine learning algorithms and signal processing techniques in complex systems simulation platforms, researchers aim to extract relevant traits from the sEMG signals that correspond to different ArSL gestures. This study introduces an Enhanced Dwarf Mongoose Algorithm with a Deep Learning-Driven Arabic Sign Language Detection (EDMODL-ASLD) technique on sEMG data. In the initial phase, the presented EDMODL-ASLD model is subjected to data preprocessing to change the input sEMG data into an attuned format. In the next stage, feature extraction with fractal theories is used to gather relevant and nonredundant data from the EMG window to construct a feature vector. In this study, the absolute envelope (AE), energy (E), root-mean square (RMS), standard deviation (STD), and mean absolute value (MAV) are the five time-domain extracted features for the EMG window observation. Meanwhile, the dilated convolutional long short-term memory (ConvLSTM) technique is used to identify distinct sign languages. To improve the results of the dilated ConvLSTM model, the hyperparameter selection process is executed using the EDMO model. To illustrate the significance of the EDMODL-ASLD technique, a brief experimental validation is made on the Arabic SLR database. The experimental validation of the EDMODL-ASLD technique portrayed a superior accuracy value of 96.47% over recent DL approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Advancements in multimodal biometrics, which integrate multiple biometric traits, promise to enhance the accuracy and robustness of identification systems. This study focuses on improving multimodal biometric identification by using fingerprint and finger vein images as the primary traits. We utilized the "NUPT-FPV" dataset, which contains a substantial number of finger vein and fingerprint images, which significantly aided our research. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), renowned for their efficacy in computer vision tasks, are used in our model to extract distinct discriminative features. Specifically, we incorporate three popular CNN architectures: ResNet, VGGNet, and DenseNet. We explore three fusion strategies used in security applications: early fusion, late fusion, and score-level fusion. Early fusion integrates raw images at the input layer of a single CNN, combining information at the initial stages. Late fusion, in contrast, merges features after individual learning from each CNN model. Score-level fusion employs weighted aggregation to combine scores from each modality, leveraging the complementary information they provide. We also use contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) to enhance fingerprint contrast and vein pattern features, improving feature visibility and extraction. Our evaluation metrics include accuracy, equal error rate (EER), and ROC curves. The fusion of CNN architectures and enhancement methods shows promising performance in identifying multimodal biometrics, aiming to increase identification accuracy. The proposed model offers a reliable authentication system using multiple biometrics to verify identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Laryngeal cancer exhibits a notable global health burden, with later-stage detection contributing to a low mortality rate. Laryngeal cancer diagnosis on throat region images is a pivotal application of computer vision (CV) and medical image diagnoses in the medical sector. It includes detecting and analysing abnormal or cancerous tissue from the larynx, an integral part of the vocal and respiratory systems. The computer-aided system makes use of artificial intelligence (AI) through deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) models, including convolution neural networks (CNN), for automated disease diagnoses and detection. Various DL and ML approaches are executed to categorize the extraction feature as healthy and cancerous tissues. This article introduces an automated Laryngeal Cancer Diagnosis using the Dandelion Optimizer Algorithm with Ensemble Learning (LCD-DOAEL) method on Biomedical Throat Region Image. The LCD-DOAEL method aims to investigate the images of the throat region for the presence of laryngeal cancer. In the LCD-DOAEL method, the Gaussian filtering (GF) approach is applied to eliminate the noise in the biomedical images. Besides, the complex and intrinsic feature patterns can be extracted by the MobileNetv2 model. Meanwhile, the DOA model carries out the hyperparameter selection of MobileNetV2 architecture. Finally, the ensemble of three classifiers such as bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM), regularized extreme learning machine (ELM), and backpropagation neural network (BPNN) models, are utilized for the classification process. A comprehensive set of simulations is conducted on the biomedical image dataset to highlight the efficient performance of the LCD-DOAEL technique. The comparison analysis of the LCD-DOAEL method exhibited a superior accuracy outcome of 97.54% over other existing techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Exercise has long been known to improve cardiovascular health, energy metabolism, and well-being. However, myocardial cell responses to exercise are complex and multifaceted due to their molecular pathways. To understand cardiac physiology and path physiology, one must understand these pathways, including energy autophagy. In recent years, deep learning techniques, IoT devices, and cloud computing infrastructure have enabled real-time, large-scale biological data analysis. The objective of this work is to extract and analyze autophagy properties in exercise-induced cardiac cells in a cloud-IoT context using deep learning, more especially an autoencoder. The Shanghai University of Sport Ethics Committee for Science Research gave its approval for the data collection, which involved 150 male Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats that were eight weeks old and in good health. The Z-score normalization method was used to standardize the data. Fractal optimization methods could be applied to these algorithms. For example, fractal-inspired optimization techniques might be used to analyze deep learning with Autoencoder, the autography energy of exercise myocardial cells within a cloud-IoT. To capture the intricate myocardial energy autophagy during exercise, we introduced the DMO-GCNN-Autoencoder, a Dwarf Mongoose Optimized Graph Convolutional Neural Network. The results showed that the proposed network’s performance matches that of the existing methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
