Classification of Call Transcriptions
type: item
description: Multi-labeled call transcription classification is essential for public and private sector organizations, as they spend a lot of time and workforce manually classifying phone call queries. Implementing a machine learning-based auto-classifier can effectively assist in this task, especially by reducing the time and resources required. The paper proposes an efficient call transcription classifier that not only reduces manpower but also saves time significantly. The first step in transcript cleaning involves several essential processes, such as converting the transcript to lowercase, applying word embedding techniques, and removing numbers, punctuation, and stopwords. The second step involves designing the model to incorporate four separate classifiers, each trained independently. Each classifier is comprised of an embedding layer, a bi-directional LSTM layer, and three subsequent dense layers. These dense layers utilize the rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation function, culminating in a final layer employing the softmax function. The experimental results demonstrate that all four classifiers have achieved precision, recall, and F1-score greater than 80\%. In conclusion, we conduct a comparative analysis of the results against existing studies, demonstrating that our model has exhibited superior performance.

A Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Network and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers for Cyber-Bullying Detection
type: item
description: Social media has brought people from all around the world to one place to share their feelings, thoughts, and emotions with their close ones. However, using social media Cyberbullying involves harming social masses emotionally and sharing threatening content. Further, social media has become the spotlight of cyberbullying to down someone emotionally or physically with the use of aggressive words, abusive language, or even by the user of power. Machine and Deep learning models outperform to detect of cyberbullying, We Utilized Multiple Algorithms such as Naïve Bayes, Bi-directional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM), and BERT (Bi-Directional Encoder Representation from Transformers) models, to detect bullying tweets using the pre-trained model of word2vec embeddings. This work efficiently reveals the techniques for the detection of cyberbullying over social platforms by classifying tweets for cyberbullying into five different classes: 1-Racism, 2-Age, 3-Gender, 3-Ehtnicity, 4-Not Bullying, 5-Other Bullying. The work in this paper will identify and provide cyberbullying in text, videos, pictures, and audio as an automatic tool to detect bullying and prevent the public from bullying using social media. We evaluate the model through a baseline model using the naive Bayes on the Twitter dataset. The baseline model compared with the proposed Bi-Directional LSTM using the same dataset which surpasses the baseline and achieves higher accuracy.

Evaluation of Safe Landing Site Detection Methods for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
type: item
description: Nowadays, aerial vehicles (drones) are becoming more popular. Over the past few years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been used in various remote sensing applications. Every aerial vehicle is now either partially or completely automated. The tiniest type of aerial vehicle is the UAV. The widespread use of aerial drones requires numerous safe landing site detection techniques. The paper aims to review literature on techniques for automatic safe landing of aerial drone vehicles by detecting suitable landing sites, considering factors such as ground surfaces and using image processing methods. A drone must determine whether the landing zones are safe for automatic landing. Onboard visual sensors provide potential information on outdoor and indoor ground surfaces through signals or images. The optimal landing locations are then determined from the input data using various image processing and safe landing area detection (SLAD) methods. UAVs are acquisition systems that are quick, efficient, and adaptable. We discuss existing safe landing detection approaches and their achievements. Furthermore, we focus on possible areas for improvement, strength, and future approaches for safe landing site detection. The research addresses the increasing need for safe landing site detection techniques in the widespread use of aerial drones, allowing for automated and secure landing operations.

Robot Assist Sign Language Recognition for Hearing Impaired Persons Using Deep Learning
type: item
description: The adoption of Sign Language Communication (SLC) systems has become more significant in closing the interaction between the deaf society and the world of hearing people. In this study, researchers aim to contribute to this field by developing a system that helps sign language users communicate through BERT approaches based on deep learning frameworks as well as NLP. Accurate recognition of sign language is critical for SLC systems to work well. Deep learning models are effective in identifying sign language with high accuracy. This study aims to determine the most suitable DL model for identifying sign language and assess the impact of incorporating Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques in generating frequent and accurate responses in SLC systems. The NLP model will be developed as an optimum return mechanism to generate frequent responses. This research includes testing three different deep learning models: MLP, CNN, and RestNet50v2 to recognize sign language gestures. Restnet50v2 outscored the other two approaches with a 0.97% perfection. As said earlier, the system also generates automated responses using the NLP BERT model, with an overall accuracy of 0.8% and a BLEU score of 0.83%. This method has a way to enhance interaction among the deaf community via the use of technology, opening new avenues for developing intelligent chatbots that can better understand nonverbal communication. Further research can be done to expand its functionality to recognize a broader range of sign language gestures and improve the user interface. Overall, this study demonstrates how technology can enhance the ways of people with deafness or hearing loss by addressing communication barriers.

A Blockchain-Enabled Machine Learning Mask Detection method for Prevention of Pandemic Diseases
type: item
description: During the COVID-19 pandemic, finding effective methods to prevent the spread of infectious diseases has become critical. One important measure for reducing the transmission of airborne viruses is wearing face masks but enforcing mask-wearing regulations can be difficult in many settings. Real-time and accurate monitoring of mask usage is needed to address this challenge. To do so, we propose a method for mask detection using a convolutional neural network (CNN) and blockchain technology. Our system involves training a CNN model on a dataset of images of people with and without masks and then deploying it on IoT-enabled devices for real-time monitoring. The use of blockchain technology ensures the security and privacy of the data and enables the efficient sharing of resources among network participants. Our proposed system achieved 99% accuracy through CNN training and was transformed into a blockchain-enabled network mechanism with QR validation of every node for authentication. This approach has the potential to be an effective tool for promoting compliance with mask-wearing regulations and reducing the risk of infection. We present a framework for implementing this technique and discuss its potential benefits and challenges

Identification of an Optimized Google PageSpeed Audit-Rule-Sequence to Optimize Page Speed
type: item
description: World Wide Web is a collection of online resources and websites including e-commerce, social sites, educational content, etc. To find relevant online resources, people search these by using search engines by providing their desired keywords. After filtering those keywords, search engine list the most relevant websites which are more optimized and efficient in terms of loading speed. Search engine optimization is a set of techniques used to make a website optimized and relevant to those keywords, and set the rank of a website. An online resource or website will be on the top of the search result set if it has a higher rank in search engines. Page speed is one of the most important on-page search engine optimization techniques that is used to make web site efficient in load time, so the user will get the content of the websites in a minimum time. Google has set page speed as the main factor in a higher ranking in search engines. Getting higher page speed is not an easy task, as several performance matrices must be optimized to get efficient loading time. There are many audit rules which are irrelevant or have less impact on the performance score. So selection of audit rules to be optimized is one of the main decisions before starting page speed optimization work. It will waste of time to investigate audit rules for their impact on performance scores. In this paper, we have analyzed all of the audit rules and identified the most important and relevant audit rules in optimizing page speed. A tool is used to generate the best sequence of relevant audit rules based on weighted performance benefit scores in the execution of each audit rule. The same audit rule sequence is applied on five different websites and is found more than 80% improvement in performance scores by applying the first three audit rules only and above 90% performance score obtained by using the first five to seven audit rules in our proposed audit rules sequence.

Enhancing Card Swipe Machines using Mathematical Model with JFLAP Formal Methods and Automation: A Mathematical Model with JFLAP
type: item
description: Automation is a novel approach that can enhance production capacity, work quality, and working environment, while minimizing labor disputes by automating all handling parameters. Formal methods are scientiﬁc techniques used to design complex mathematical systems. They involve specifying requirements and verifying software systems. The card swipe machine is a widely used point-ofsale terminal in supermarkets, medical centers, and shopping malls. Customers can easily make payments through these machines, which also provide detailed receipts of all transactions, including reversed transactions. This resolves cash management issues, improves customer service, and supports marketing. While multiple conventional machines are available in the market, they lack visual representations, making it diﬃcult to understand their working mechanism without graphical representations. Deterministic ﬁnite automata (DFA) is a mathematical model that has limited states and moves from one state to another based on input and transition functions. This study proposes the use of the JFLAP software to create a mathematical model of card swipe machine transactions. The proposed model allows for viewing each processing step in a card swipe machine, offering a new approach to understanding their working mechanism.

DeepImmuno-PSSM: Identification of Immunoglobulin based on Deep learning and PSSM-Profiles
type: item
description: Immunoglobulin has a close connection to a number of disorders and is important in both biological and medicinal contexts. Therefore, it is crucial for illness research to employ efficient techniques to increase the categorization accuracy of immunoglobulins. Computational models have been used in a small number of research to address this important issue, but the accuracy of the predictions is not good enough. As a result, we use a cutting-edge deep learning technique with convolutional neural networks to enhance the performance results. In this study, the immunoglobulin features were extracted using the dipeptide acid composition (DPC) with the position-specific scoring matrix (DPC-PSSM) and position-specific scoring matrix-transition probability composition (PSSM-TPC) methods. we apply extracted features information from the DPC-PSSM profiles and PSSM-TPC profile by using a 1D-convolutional neural network (CNN) over an input shape. The outcomes demonstrated that the DeepImmuno-PSSM method based on sequential minimal optimization was able to properly predict DPC-PSSM accuracy score 93.44% obtained and of the immunoglobulins using the greatest feature subcategory produced by the PSSM-TPC feature mining approach accuracy score 89.92% obtained. Our findings indicate that we are able to provide a useful model for enhancing immunoglobulin proteins' capacity for prediction. Additionally, it implies that employing sequence data in deep learning and PSSM-based features may open up new path for biochemical modelling.

Evaluation of Deep Learning Approaches for Sentiment Analysis
type: item
description: Due to the increasing popularity of posting evaluations, sentiment analysis has grown to be a crucial area of study. Machine learning techniques that are supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised have worked very hard to harvest this data. The complicated and technological area of feature engineering falls within machine learning. Using deep learning, this tedious process may be completed automatically. Numerous studies have been conducted on deep learning models like LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory), CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), RNN (Recurrent Neural Network), and GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit). Each model has employed a certain type of data, such as CNN for pictures and LSTM for language translation, etc. To discover the optimal deep learning methodology for the given data, authors here proposed many deep learning methodologies for text data on sentiment analysis. A publicly available dataset including both positive and negative reviews on LSTM, CNN, RNN, and GRU was used in the experiments, and the findings showed that CNN had the highest accuracy compared to the other models. Based on the experimental results of CNN, it was found that prediction from the proposed work exhibited a significant improvement over existing work.

Research in Collaborative Tagging Applications: Choosing the Right Dataset
type: item
description: Collaborative tagging is an interesting approach that provides the flexibility to add description(s) to a resource according to the user’s own perception about that resource. These applications are the hottest in the areas of Social Bookmarking, Media Content Sharing and E-Commerce. Being favorite among users, these applications accumulate users’ interactions in the form of embedded datasets very quickly. These datasets are very important for further improving these applications and subsequently facilitating the user in better performing his/her activities. We feel there is a need to study these datasets to help researchers test their proposed algorithms on the right dataset and make valuable assessment and informed decisions. In this paper, we have identified measures for evaluating collaborative tagging applications’ datasets suitability for research experiments. The appropriateness of the identified measures is tested through experiments. Based on the results, recommendations are made on the suitability of the available datasets and how future dataset should look like. Researchers working not only in tagging but also in other disciplines can utilize these datasets to test their proposed algorithms without developing their own. This article provides measures which we dig out by reviewing existing available datasets. These measures are significant in selection of suitable and appropriate dataset(s), as selection of inappropriate dataset leads to errors in the results researchers are expecting. This work will prove extremely relevant and beneficial to all researchers who wish to use datasets of collaborative tagging applications for their research experiments.

Performance Prediction for Undergraduate Degree Programs Using Machine Learning Techniques - A Preliminary Review
type: item
description: Academic Performance prediction for undergraduate students is considered as one of the hot research areas since last couple of decades. An accurate and timely prediction of the student’s performance can directly influence the three participants; learner, instructor and the institution. This study presents a brief, preliminary review to explore existing literature from 2010 to 2022 in the context of performance prediction for Undergraduate Degree Programs (UDP). This review is organized according to Online and Traditional Education Systems (TES), and granularity level of performance output i.e., Degree program (Final CGPA), Next-semester, and the Course level grades. Aggregate analysis of the extracted data reveals that course level prediction is highly worked area deploying classification and regression techniques using data from academic domain. Existing empirical studies are mostly evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall and F1-measure and are validated with 10-fold cross validation. Contribution of this study is the novel categorical distribution of studies with respect to education system and granularity levels. Another important finding was the Success ratio of different Machine learning (ML) techniques used for these prediction studies. It is concluded that further research is required for TES to discover interdependent group of courses and Course Clusters for a certain degree program and then to develop prediction models for those course clusters.

XGboost-Ampy: Identification of AMPylation Protein Function Prediction Using Machine Learning
type: item
description: A developing post-translational modification known as AMPylation involves the formation of a phosphodiester bond on the hydroxyl group of threonine, serine, or tyrosine. Adenosine monophosphate is covalently attached to the side chain of an amino acid in a peptide during this process, which is catalyzed by AMPylation. We used AMPylation peptide sequence data from bacteria, eukaryotes, and archaea to train the models. Then, we compared the results of several feature extraction methods and their combinations in addition to classification algorithms to obtain more accurate prediction models. To prevent additional loss of sequence information, the PseAAC feature is employed to construct a fixed-size descriptor value in vector space. The basic feature set is received from 2nd features extraction method. All of this was accomplished by deriving the protein characteristics from the evolutionary data and sequence of the BLOUSM62 amino acid residue. The eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) technique was used to create a novel model for the current study, which was then compared to the most popular machine learning models. In this research, we proposed framework for AMPylation identification that makes use of the XGBoost algorithm (AMPylation) and sequence-derived functions. XGBoost -Ampy has an accuracy of 86.7%, a sensitivity of 76.1%, a specificity of 97.5%, and a Matthews’s correlation coefficient (MCC) of 0.753 for predicting AMylation sites. XGBoost -Amp, the first machine learning model developed, has shown promise and may be able to help with this problem.

Business Growth Prediction Using Social Media Data Analytics
type: item
description: Marketing has become an important aspect of the growth of any business. Without good strategies for sharing content across social media platforms, no business can ﬂourish and will lose its customers. Many social media platforms provide various analytics tools for free. These tools provide analytics of content engagement. Many proprietary tools provide such features with enhanced capabilities. These tools require shared content of users for analysis. These tools do not exactly state the content being shared. Businesses need marketing teams for creating attractive content. However, a lot of money is needed for hiring skilled personnel. This research proposed an eﬃcient platform that provides analysis of content shared by successful businesses on social media platforms. Firstly, it’s free and public shared data, no surveys to be done because the analysis is done on businesses who are experts in marketing, and secondly, there is no headache for searching trends because the analysis is done on real-time data.

AOPs-XGBoost: Machine learning Model for the prediction of Antioxidant Proteins properties of peptides
type: item
description: Abstract Antioxidant proteins are essential for protecting cells from free radicals. The accurate identiﬁcation of antioxidant proteins via biological tests is difﬁcult because of the high time and ﬁnancial investment required. The potential of peptides produced from natural proteins is demonstrated by the fact that they are generally regarded as secure and may have additional advantageous bioactivities. Antioxidative peptides are typically discovered by analyzing numerous peptides created when a variety of proteases hydrolysis proteins. The eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) technique was used to create a novel model for the current study, which was then compared to the most popular machine learning models. We suggested a machine-learning model that we named AOPs-XGBoost, built on sequence features and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost). We used 10-fold cross-validation testing was performed on a testing dataset using the propose. AOPs-XGBoost classiﬁer, and the results showed a sensitivity of 67.56%, speciﬁcity of 93.87%, average accuracy of 80.72%, mean cross-validation (MCC) of 66.29%), and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 88.01%. The outcomes demonstrated that the XGBoost model outperformed the other models with accuracy of 80.72% and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 88.01% which were better than the other models. Experimental results demonstrate that AOPs-XGBoost is a useful classiﬁer that advances the study of antioxidant proteins.

Formal Verification of Twin Clutch Gear Control
type: item
description: Twin clutch model enables the power-shifts as conventional planetary automatic transmission and eradicates the disadvantages of single clutch transmission. The automatic control of the dual clutches is a synchronization problem. Particularly, to control the clutching component that engages torque when running in one direction of revolution and disengages when running in the other direction, which exchange the torque smoothly during torque phase of the gear-shifts on planetary-type automatic transmissions, seemed for quite a while hard to compensate through clutch control. Another problem is to skip gears during multiple gearshifts. However, the twin clutch gear control described in ["M Goetz, M C Levesley and D A Crolla. Dynamics and control of gearshifts on twin clutch transmissions, Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Journal of Automobile Engineering 2005"], a significant improvement in twin clutch gear control system is discussed. We formally specify the algorithm for the twin clutch gear control system and verify it using the model-checking. Formal methods have a high potential to measure correctness of communicating protocols. We use UPPAAL for formal specification and verification. Our results show that the twin clutch gear control model partially fulfills its functional requirements

Hate Speech Detection Model on Web 3.0 Based Platform using Blockchain and NLP
type: item
description: Abstract With the increased usage of social media applications like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, hate speech is also rising. Hate speech can be deﬁned as ill talk toward any race, caste, religion, or ethnicity. Now with the new development of web 3.0, which is decentralized, it is challenging to control elements like hate speech because there is no central body that can control it. This research paper presents a novel approach for detecting hate speech on web 3.0-based platforms using blockchain technology and natural language processing (NLP) techniques. The proposed model utilizes blockchain to ensure the immutability and transparency of the data, while NLP algorithms are used to analyze and classify the text. The experimental results show that the proposed model achieves high accuracy in detecting hate speech, and the use of blockchain technology enhances the trustworthiness and security of the system. The proposed system can effectively detect and mitigate hate speech on web 3.0-based platforms and may serve as a valuable tool for promoting online safety and inclusivity.

Pathway-disease Association Prediction Based on Graph Regularized Logistic Matrix Factorization (PDA-GRLMF)
type: item
description: Complex alterations to the cellular machinery occur as a result of diseases. There are distinctive patterns associated with a disease in the gene expression proﬁle of the affected cells. As a result, these proﬁles can be used to extract additional biological information about an illness, which helps us better identify and evaluate disease risks. Human pathway-disease interaction research is a recurrent area of interest for the biomedical community. Finding the processes or connections between diseases and pathways can be aided by this association. This paper provides an overview of human pathway and human disease, with the accuracy of disease identiﬁcation has been less than satisfactory. In predicting disease-pathway interactions, this study suggests a computer model. In this research study we proposed the Graph Regularized Logistic Matrix Factorization (GRLMF) method for pathway-disease association prediction. A cutting-edge computational model called the PDA-GRLMF disease-pathway association model can predict probable pathway-disease associations. The model can also assist pathologists in comprehending the relationships between diseasepathway linkages, therapies, and outcomes. In order to increase the association between disease variation and new molecular correlations between genetic mutations, we carried out a pathway-based investigation. On the basis of shared gene interactions among pathways-disease, we created a biological network, and then we used network analysis to try and understand how a disease constructed the pathway-pathway network and then disease-disease network. To merge the gathered biological data, which was based on the pair similarity of sequence expression weights, we employed the heterogeneous network of pathway-disease relationships. The ROC (AUC) score achieved for the best prediction results was 0.8018%, and the precision-recall curve had two classes. These ﬁndings suggest that our strategy outperforms previously suggested methods in term…

Identifying disease genes based on machine learning approaches for classiﬁcation
type: item
description: In recent years, researchers have become increasingly interested in disease-gene association prediction. In the postgenomic era, this is one of the toughest jobs around. It is also challenging to determine biological research since complex disorders sometimes have very varied genotypes. Machine learning methods are used widely in the identiﬁcation of crawl marks, but their images depend heavily on their quantity and quality. In crawling studies, we ﬁnd that the recognition of genes reconciling diseases can be improved by an machines classiﬁer qualiﬁed in practical gene seamlessness from gene ontology (GO). In order to predict the genes of the disease, we’ve developed a supervised machine learning system. In the proposed pipeline, the use of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is assessed. Similarity tests from various semantics have been used to quantitatively measure similarity in gene function. In this paper we suggest various techniques for classifying data from one-hot encoding method. This experiment is complicated by the fact that the into training and test sets. This is generally called an algorithm evaluation divided-train-test split method. ASD is a disease associated with high health care costs and early intervention will signiﬁcantly minimize these costs. ASD is a neurodevelopment disorder. Unfortunately, wait times are lengthy for an ASD diagnosis and treatments are not cheap. The economic effects of autism and an increase in ASD cases worldwide show an urgent need to establish methods of screening that are quickly enforced and eﬃcient. A timely and affordable ASD screening is therefore imminent to help health practitioners and to let individuals know whether they will be formally diagnosed clinically. Classiﬁers qualiﬁed and validated for ASD and non-ASD genes work better than ASD classiﬁers previously reported. For instance, in order to predict new ASD genes, the complementary forest classiﬁcation (CF) classiﬁcation reached AUC 0.80 above the reported class…

Analyzing updates in Amino Acid Composition and Translation Algorithm towards Predicting Membrane Proteins using Machine Learning Approaches
type: item
description: Membrane proteins are of different types that take on different functions. Classification of protein sequences in a data set is very important for understanding cell functions, disease prevention, and drug discovery. Initially, traditional methods were used for transmembrane protein classification. However, due to advanced technology and new research, it increases the transmembrane protein datasets by thousands which are almost impossible to obtain accurate results based on traditional methods. Computational methods are very useful for membrane protein classification. Several methods such as Pseudo Amino Acid Composition (PseAAC) can extract many silent features of a protein sequence. In this work, we intended to modify an existing algorithm of amino acid composition and translation to extract membrane protein features with better accuracy. To validate our algorithm, we will use the Support Vector Machine SVM and KNN.

Specification of Operating Rules for Water Reservoir to Manage Flood Using Z-Notation
type: item
description: Flood is natural event; it brings a lot of destruction. Due to flood not only loss of human life and misery of millions of people occur, but tremendous damages occur in public and private property. It cannot be stopped, but can be managed to save the lives and property of the people. To manage a flood, there are two solutions, physical and logical. In physical solutions, different physical constructions are made to manage flood like levee, channel improvement, flood ways, and widening of barrages, but these control works have many deficiencies. In logical solutions, models and techniques are developed to manage the flood, however, these systems also have some deficiencies. To overcome the deficiencies in the existing models, we focus on to develop a flood management model consisting of an off-river reservoir and diverted canals having regulators. Reservoirs are most effective water storage that smooth down extreme inflow. The optimal operations of reservoirs determine the release and accumulation of water over time. For effective operative decision, operating rules will be defined in Z-Specification. For these operating rules, we will develop an algorithm, will verify the rules in Z-Notation and will implement them in the Java programming language.

type: item
description: In this paper, we discuss the discrimination of SARS-COV2 viruses associated with three major affected countries the USA, China, and Germany. The discrimination can reveal the mutation as the result of viral transmission and its spread due to mutation associated with its protein structure which makes small changes in the Spike protein. To investigate the mutation in SARS-COV2, we downloaded the protein strains associated with the USA, China, and Germany from the UniProtKB by advance search through SARS-COV2, country name, and protein name: Accessory protein 7b, 6, ORF3a, 10, 8 protein, Envelope small membrane protein, Nucleoprotein, Membrane protein, Spike glycoprotein, 3C-like proteinase, and 2'-O-methyltransferase. After retrieving the protein sequences, we transform the biological form of sequences to their equivalent numerical form by using statistical moments. Further classification algorithms like Random Forest, SVM are used for their training and classification. Finally, performance evaluation is carried out using K-fold cross-validation, independent testing, self-consistency, and jackknife testing. The result received through all testing is more than 97%, which shows the visible discrimination among the protein strains of mentioned countries, which shows the strong mutation in SARS-Cov2 sequences.

A Survey of Feature Extraction and Feature Selection Techniques used in Machine Learning-Based Botnet Detection Schemes
type: item
description: Machine learning techniques have been widely used for the classification of botnets as they have been argued to have improved strengths compared to signature-based approaches. The level of performances of some of these detection schemes have been traced to the relevance of the features used for the classification models. Therefore, extraction and selection of the most discriminative features in the classification of botnets is an important research area. It has equally been found that when a Machine-learning based approach is being used to identify botnets, the dataset chosen has to be real and representative. Feature extraction and Feature Selection are necessary steps prior to using a Machine Learning-based classification algorithm for identifying botnets. The reason for the pre-processing and feature selection steps in Machine Learning-based model is to be able to remove irrelevant and redundant data in the experimental dataset, minimize computational complexity, and increase both model simplicity as well as accuracy. This paper provided a survey of various feature extraction and feature selection methods that have been used by researchers that proposed Machine-Learning based botnet detection models. The main purpose of this approach is to provide a better understanding and insights on how improved botnet detection mechanisms can be achieved through enhanced feature extraction and selection methods.

type: item
description: TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol) are the most important protocols in complete protocol architecture. There are many types of attacks that can block the communication or reduce the performance of a protocol. This study provides a detail analysis of TCP and UDP attacks and their application layer protocols. The authors will also suggest that where the security administrator should focus for providing best security. The old datasets such as KDD99 and NSLKDD has many limitations. This study uses UNSW-NB15 dataset which has recently been generated.

Promising Compounds for Treatment of Covid-19
type: item
description: The study spans over-identification of phytochemicals suited for the treatment of COVID-19. The study focuses on the chemical that has a tendency to bind with Human ACE2 protein and two of the main Sars-Cov-2 proteins which are the Spike protein and the RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRp) protein. After screening a large list of phytochemicals two of the compound i.e. Kansuinine B and Digitoxin were found to have promising traits for the treatment of COVID-19. Both the compounds have been in use for centuries. Digitoxin was extracted from Foxglove seeds in the 18th century for heart-related illnesses. Kansuinine B originates from a Chinese herb Euphorbia Kansui (E. Kansui) E. Kansui has been widely used in herbal medicine for a multitude of illnesses including lungs related diseases. Studies also show that it has the ability to suppress cytokine response through the expression of the SOCS3 gene. In-silico simulations show that both these compounds have a better affinity and binding properties with these three proteins as compared to many other drugs under trial for COVID-19 like Remdesivir, Ritonavir, Famotidine, Camostat Mesylate, and Hesperidin. A treatment based on the combination of both compounds can be very effective. Any self-medication of both the compounds is highly discouraged as misuse of both the compounds can be very harmful.

Anomaly Based Intrusion Detection System Which Analyze the Dataset and Detect Intrusion
type: item
description: As the research increased in computer science highlight the scientists mind for the growing research world towards security. Researchers have done a lot of research work in network Security. Cybersecurity has progressively become a zone of alarm for officials, Government agencies and industries, including big commercialized infrastructure, are under attack daily. First signature-based intrusion detection systems were developed, and it detects only novel attacks. To detect strange attacks statistical IDS came into being recognized as anomaly-based IDS. It is not as much efficient as it detects all. In this, study the author focus on the efficiency of IDS using NSL-KDD99 dataset and support vector machine (SVM) technique to identify attacks. NSL-KDD dataset is used for the evaluation of these type of systems.

Algorithms for Data Cleaning in Knowledge Bases
type: item
description: Data cleaning is an action which includes a process of correcting and identifying the inconsistencies and errors in data warehouse. Different terms are uses in these papers like data cleaning also called data scrubbing. Using data scrubbing to get high quality data and this is one the data ETL (extraction transformation and loading tools). Now a day there is a need of authentic information for better decision-making. So we conduct a review paper in which six papers are reviewed related to data cleaning. Relating papers discussed different algorithms, methods, problems, their solutions, and approaches etc. Each paper has their own methods to solve a problem in an efficient way, but all the paper have a common problem of data cleaning and inconsistencies. In these papers data inconsistencies, identification of the errors, conflicting, duplicate records etc problems are discussed in detail and also provided the solutions. These algorithms increase the quality of data. At ETL process stage, there are almost thirty-five different sources and causes of poor quality constraints.

GPGPU Virtualization Techniques a Comparative Survey
type: item
description: The Graphic Processing Units (GPU) are being adopted in many High Processing Computing (HPC) facilities because of their massively parallel and extraordinary computing power, which makes it possible to accelerate many general purpose implementations from different domains. A general-purpose GPU (GPGPU) is a GPU that performs computations that were traditionally handled by central processing unit (CPU) to accelerate applications along with handling traditional computations for graphics rendering. However, GPUs have some limitations, such as increased acquisition costs as well as larger space requirements, more powerful energy supplies, and their utilization is usually low for most workloads. That results in the need of GPU virtualization to maximize the use of an acquired GPU to share between the virtual machines for optimal use, to reduce power utilization and minimize the costs. This study comparatively reviews the recent GPU virtualization techniques including API remoting, para, full and hardware based virtualization, targeted for general-purpose accelerations.
