This study introduces an optimized long short-term memory (LSTM) model using the Komodo Mlipir algorithm (KMA) to enhance prediction accuracy. Traffic video data are processed with YOLO for vehicle classification and object counting. The LSTM model, trained to capture traffic patterns, employs parameters optimized by KMA, including learning rate, neuron count, and epochs. KMA integrates mutation and crossover strategies to enable adaptive selection in global and local searches. The model's performance was evaluated on an urban traffic dataset with uniform configurations for population size and key LSTM parameters, ensuring consistent evaluation. Results showed LSTM-KMA achieved a root mean square error (RMSE) of 14.5319, outperforming LSTM (16.6827), LSTM-improved dung beetle optimization (IDBO) (15.0946), and LSTM-particle swarm optimization (PSO) (15.0368). Its mean absolute error (MAE), at 8.7041, also surpassed LSTM (9.9903), LSTM-IDBO (9.0328), and LSTM-PSO (9.0015). LSTM-KMA effectively tackles multi-target detection challenges, improving prediction accuracy and transportation system efficiency. This reliable solution supports real-time urban traffic management, addressing the demands of dynamic urban environments.

Power factor correction (PFC) is crucial for improving energy efficiency and reducing excessive power consumption, especially in inductive loads commonly found in household and industrial environments. Conventional PFC methods often rely on manual capacitor switching, which is inefficient and impractical for real-time applications. This study proposes an IoT-based automatic power factor monitoring and correction system that dynamically adjusts the power factor using real-time data analysis. The system integrates NodeMCU ESP32 and the PZEM-004T sensor to monitor electrical parameters and automatically switch capacitors based on power factor conditions. The research follows the ADDIE approach (analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation) to ensure a structured development process. Experimental results demonstrate an average power factor improvement of 48.77% and a reduction in current consumption by 39.90%, significantly enhancing energy efficiency. The system's web-based interface allows real-time monitoring with an average data transmission response time of 207.67 ms, ensuring efficient remote management. Compared to existing systems, the proposed approach eliminates manual intervention and optimizes PFC adaptively. Future research should focus on expanding system reliability, testing on larger-scale applications, and integrating artificial intelligence (AI) for predictive power factor adjustments.

Past research has shown the relationship between self-regulated learning (SRL) and academic success. Self-regulated learners will monitor their learning, reflect on what they have learnt, adjust their learning strategies accordingly, and repeat this entire process throughout their learning. The ability to perform SRL will require the individual to have the belief and confidence in his/her capacity to succeed and accomplish the tasks. Therefore, this study aims to devise a mobile learning (m-learning) framework for enhancing the students’ confidence. To achieve this, the Fuzzy Delphi method was used to validate the proposed framework where the survey questionnaire was distributed to 21 experts who are the experts in their respective fields for their consensus to be obtained. Consensus showed that “assessment data” can indicate the students’ confidence when they attempt the assessment. Experts opined that “goal expectation,” and “viewed lessons, chapters, or syllabus” exert the most influence on the students’ confidence when they attempt their assessment. There was strong consensus from experts that “data security” is the most important element in the system infrastructure, and the “text mining technique” element can be used to evaluate the students’ confidence.

In North Africa and the Middle East, the date is the most popular fruit, with millions of tons harvested annually. They are a crucial component of the diet due to their exceptional content of essential vitamins and minerals, which confer a high nutritional value. The ability to accurately identify and differentiate between date varieties is therefore of paramount importance in agriculture. It is crucial for improving agricultural practices, ensuring harvest quality, and contributing to the economic development of date-producing regions. In this paper, we propose a hybrid method for classifying date fruit varieties based on two stages. In the first stage, we select the two best-performing pre-trained models from six experimented deep learning models, and we concatenate the feature maps extracted from these two models. In the second stage, we apply different classification methods, including artificial neural networks (ANN), support vector machines (SVM), and logistic regression (LR). The performance achieved by these methods is 97.22%, 98.46%, and 99.07%, respectively. Then, with the stacking model, we combined these methods, and the performance result was increased to 99.38%. This result demonstrates the effectiveness of the hybrid model for identifying date fruit varieties.

Hierarchical enhanced deep encoder-decoder for intrusion detection and classification in cloud IoT networks

10.11591/ijeecs.v39.i2.pp1176-1188
Ramya K. M. , Rajashekhar C. Biradar
Securing cloud-based internet of things (IoT) networks against intrusions and attacks is a significant challenge due to their complexity, scale, and the diverse nature of connected devices. IoT networks consist of billions of devices, computer servers, data transmission networks, and application computers, all communicating vast amounts of data that must adhere to various protocols. This study introduces a novel approach, termed hierarchical enhanced deep encoder-decoder with adaptive frequency decomposition (HED-EDFD), and is designed to address these challenges within cloud-based IoT environments. The HED-EDFD methodology integrates adaptive frequency decomposition, specifically adaptive frequency decomposition, with a deep encoder-decoder model. This integration allows for the extraction and utilization of frequency domain features from time-sequence IoT data. By decomposing data into multiresolution wavelet coefficients, the model captures both high-frequency transient changes and low-frequency trends, essential for detecting potential intrusions. The deep encoder-decoder model, enhanced with deep contextual attention mechanisms, processes these features to identify complex patterns indicative of malicious activities. The hierarchical structure of the approach includes a hierarchical wavelet-based attention mechanism, which enhances the accuracy and robustness of feature extraction and classification. To address the issue of imbalanced intrusion data, a cosine-based SoftMax classifier is employed, ensuring effective recognition of minority class samples.
