AbstractThis article aims to design an automatic detection algorithm of epileptic seizure onsets and offsets in scalp EEGs. A proposed scheme consists of two sequential steps: the detection of seizure episodes, and the determination of seizure onsets and offsets in long EEG recordings. We introduce a neural network-based model called ScoreNet as a post-processing technique to determine the seizure onsets and offsets in EEGs. A cost function called a log-dice loss that has an analogous meaning to F1 is proposed to handle an imbalanced data problem. In combination with several classifiers including random forest, CNN, and logistic regression, the ScoreNet is then verified on the CHB-MIT Scalp EEG database. As a result, in seizure detection, the ScoreNet can significantly improve F1 to 70.15% and can considerably reduce false positive rate per hour to 0.05 on average. In addition, we propose detection delay metric, an effective latency index as a summation of the exponential of delays, that includes undetected events into account. The index can provide a better insight into onset and offset detection than conventional time-based metrics.

Multiclass Svm

A patient-specific algorithm, for epileptic seizure prediction, based on multiclass support-vector machines (SVM) and using multi-channel high-dimensional feature sets, is presented. The feature sets, combined with multiclass classification and post-processing schemes aim at the generation of alarms and reduced influence of false positives. This study considers 216 patients from the European Epilepsy Database, and includes 185 patients with scalp EEG recordings and 31 with intracranial data. The strategy was tested over a total of 16,729.80[Formula: see text]h of inter-ictal data, including 1206 seizures. We found an overall sensitivity of 38.47% and a false positive rate per hour of 0.20. The performance of the method achieved statistical significance in 24 patients (11% of the patients). Despite the encouraging results previously reported in specific datasets, the prospective demonstration on long-term EEG recording has been limited. Our study presents a prospective analysis of a large heterogeneous, multicentric dataset. The statistical framework based on conservative assumptions, reflects a realistic approach compared to constrained datasets, and/or in-sample evaluations. The improvement of these results, with the definition of an appropriate set of features able to improve the distinction between the pre-ictal and nonpre-ictal states, hence minimizing the effect of confounding variables, remains a key aspect.

Many research works are in progress in classification of the eye movements using the electrooculography signals and employing them to control the human–computer interface systems. This article introduces a new model for recognizing various eye movements using electrooculography signals with the help of empirical mean curve decomposition and multiwavelet transformation. Furthermore, this article also adopts a principal component analysis algorithm to reduce the dimension of electrooculography signals. Accordingly, the dimensionally reduced decomposed signal is provided to the neural network classifier for classifying the electrooculography signals, along with this, the weight of the neural network is fine-tuned with the assistance of the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm. Finally, the proposed method is compared with the existing methods and it is observed that the proposed methodology gives the better performance in correspondence with accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, false positive rate, false negative rate, negative predictive value, false discovery rate, F1 score, and Mathews correlation coefficient.

Malicious domain name attacks have become a serious issue for Internet security. In this study, a malicious domain names detection algorithm based on N-Gram is proposed. The top 100,000 domain names in Alexa 2013 are used in the N-Gram method. Each domain name excluding the top-level domain is segmented into substrings according to its domain level with the lengths of 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. The substring set of the 100,000 domain names is established, and the weight value of a substring is calculated according to its occurrence number in the substring set. To detect a malicious attack, the domain name is also segmented by the N-Gram method and its reputation value is calculated based on the weight values of its substrings. Finally, the judgment of whether the domain name is malicious is made by thresholding. In the experiments on Alexa 2017 and Malware domain list, the proposed detection algorithm yielded an accuracy rate of 94.04%, a false negative rate of 7.42%, and a false positive rate of 6.14%. The time complexity is lower than other popular malicious domain names detection algorithms.

Sql Injection Attacks

Structured Query Language injection (SQLi) attack is a code injection technique where hackers inject SQL commands into a database via a vulnerable web application. Injected SQL commands can modify the back-end SQL database and thus compromise the security of a web application. In the previous publications, the author has proposed a Neural Network (NN)-based model for detections and classifications of the SQLi attacks. The proposed model was built from three elements: 1) a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) generator, 2) a URL classifier, and 3) a NN model. The proposed model was successful to: 1) detect each generated URL as either a benign URL or a malicious, and 2) identify the type of SQLi attack for each malicious URL. The published results proved the effectiveness of the proposal. In this paper, the author re-evaluates the performance of the proposal through two scenarios using controversial data sets. The results of the experiments are presented in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model in terms of accuracy, true-positive rate as well as false-positive rate.

In the field of computer vision, face detection algorithms achieved accuracy to a great extent, but for the real time applications it remains a challenge to maintain the balance between the accuracy and efficiency i.e., to gain accuracy computational cost also increases to deal with the large data sets. This paper, propose half face detection algorithm to address the efficiency of the face detection algorithm. The full face detection algorithm consider complete face data set for training which incur more computation cost. To reduce the computation cost, proposed model captures the features of the half of the face by assuming that the human face is symmetric about the vertical axis passing through the nose and train the system using reduced half face features. The proposed algorithm extracts Linear Binary Pattern (LBP) features and train model using adaboost classifier. Algorithm performance is presented in terms of the accuracy i.e., True Positive Rate (TPR), False Positive Rate (FTR) and face recognition time complexity.

Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with post-processing is routinely used for the analysis of tumors. However, although breast MRI has gained broad clinical recognition, the relationship between imaging findings and tumor pathogenesis has yet to be fully elucidated. We grafted tumors on rats, to examine dynamic MRI images of the tumors, using post-processing subtraction with 3D maximum intensity projection (sMIP). We established a preliminary platform for analysis to compare hemodynamic-based images with histopathological findings and to further biomolecular research. This platform could facilitate future research on the mechanisms of breast tumor enhancement using MRI, improvements to MRI analysis and reduction of the false positive rate, and the development of novel drugs and contrast media.

Defects such as insulator, pins, and counterweight in highvoltage transmission lines affect the stability of the power system. The small targets such as pins in the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) inspection images of transmission lines occupy a small proportion in the images and the characteristic representations are poor which results a low defect detection rate and a high false positive rate. This paper proposed a transmission line pin defect detection algorithm based on improved Faster R-CNN. First, the pre-training weights with higher matching degree are obtained based on transfer learning. And it is applied to construct defect detection model. Then, the regional proposal network is used to extract features in the model. The results of defect detection are obtained by regression calculation and classification of regional characteristics. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the pin defect detection of the transmission line reaches 81.25%

Abnormal Node

Considering the contradiction between limited node resources and high detection costs in mobile multimedia networks, an adaptive and lightweight abnormal node detection algorithm based on artificial immunity and game theory is proposed in order to balance the trade-off between network security and detection overhead. The algorithm can adapt to the highly dynamic mobile multimedia networking environment with a large number of heterogeneous nodes and multi-source big data. Specifically, the heterogeneous problem of nodes is solved based on the non-specificity of an immune algorithm. A niche strategy is used to identify dangerous areas, and antibody division generates an antibody library that can be updated online, so as to realize the dynamic detection of the abnormal behavior of nodes. Moreover, the priority of node recovery for abnormal nodes is decided through a game between nodes without causing excessive resource consumption for security detection. The results of comparative experiments show that the proposed algorithm has a relatively high detection rate and a low false-positive rate, can effectively reduce consumption time, and has good level of adaptability under the condition of dynamic nodes.

We present a new method to detect planetary transits from time-series photometry, the transit least squares (TLS) algorithm. TLS searches for transit-like features while taking the stellar limb darkening and planetary ingress and egress into account. We have optimized TLS for both signal detection efficiency (SDE) of small planets and computational speed. TLS analyses the entire, unbinned phase-folded light curve. We compensated for the higher computational load by (i.) using algorithms such as “Mergesort” (for the trial orbital phases) and by (ii.) restricting the trial transit durations to a smaller range that encompasses all known planets, and using stellar density priors where available. A typical K2 light curve, including 80 d of observations at a cadence of 30 min, can be searched with TLS in ∼10 s real time on a standard laptop computer, as fast as the widely used box least squares (BLS) algorithm. We perform a transit injection-retrieval experiment of Earth-sized planets around sun-like stars using synthetic light curves with 110 ppm white noise per 30 min cadence, corresponding to a photometrically quiet KP = 12 star observed with Kepler. We determine the SDE thresholds for both BLS and TLS to reach a false positive rate of 1% to be SDE = 7 in both cases. The resulting true positive (or recovery) rates are ∼93% for TLS and ∼76% for BLS, implying more reliable detections with TLS. We also test TLS with the K2 light curve of the TRAPPIST-1 system and find six of seven Earth-sized planets using an iterative search for increasingly lower signal detection efficiency, the phase-folded transit of the seventh planet being affected by a stellar flare. TLS is more reliable than BLS in finding any kind of transiting planet but it is particularly suited for the detection of small planets in long time series from Kepler, TESS, and PLATO. We make our python implementation of TLS publicly available.

And Performance

Cloud computing is the internet-based technique where the users utilize the online resources for computing services. The attacks or intrusion into the cloud service is the major issue in the cloud environment since it degrades performance. In this article, we propose an adaptive lion-based neural network (ALNN) to detect the intrusion behaviour. Initially, the cloud network has generated the clusters using a WLI fuzzy clustering mechanism. This mechanism obtains the different numbers of clusters in which the data objects are grouped together. Then, the clustered data is fed into the newly designed adaptive lion-based neural network. The proposed method is developed by the combination of Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm of neural network and adaptive lion algorithm where female lions are used to update the weight adaptively using lion optimization algorithm. Then, the proposed method is used to detect the malicious activity through training process. Thus, the different clustered data is given to the proposed ALNN model. Once the data is trained, then it needs to be aggregated. Subsequently, the aggregated data is fed into the proposed ALNN method where the intrusion behaviour is detected. Finally, the simulation results of the proposed method and performance is analysed through accuracy, false positive rate, and true positive rate. Thus, the proposed ALNN algorithm attains 96.46% accuracy which ensures better detection performance.
