A comparison between the probability similarities of a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) dataset and Lévy walks is presented. This effort validates Lévy walks as a model resembling DDoS probability features. In addition, a method, based on the Smirnov transform, for generating synthetic data with the statistical properties of Lévy-walks is demonstrated. The Smirnov transform is used to address a cybersecurity problem associated with the Internet-of-things (IoT). The synthetic Lévy-walk is merged with sections of distinct signals (uniform noise, Gaussian noise, and an ordinary sinusoid). Zero-crossing rate (ZCR) within a varying-size window is utilized to analyze both the composite signal and the DDoS dataset. ZCR identifies all the distinct sections in the composite signal and successfully detects the occurrence of the cyberattack. The ZCR value increases as the signal under analysis becomes more complex and produces steadier values as the varying window size increases. The ZCR computation directly in the time-domain is its most notorious advantage for real-time implementations.

Based on the study of the characteristics of load current signal, this article develops a method to extract features that can be use to distinguish the different working status of machine tools in real-time manner. The features are extracted from wavelet packet energy spectrum and bispectrum of the load current signal, and thus can take advantages of both wavelet packet transforms and bispectrum in signal analysis. Experimental results show that, compared with the features extracted from wavelet packet energy spectrum or bispectrum alone, the features extracted by applying the proposed method can provide better performance in term of identifying the machine working status.

A method, based on the Smirnov transform, for generating synthetic data with the statistical properties of Lévy-walks is presented. This method can be utilized for generating arbitrary prescribed probability density functions (pdf). A cybersecurity engineering problem associated with Internet traffic is addressed. The synthetic Lévy-walks process is intertwined with sections of distinct characteristics creating a composite signal that is analyzed through zero-crossing rate (ZCR) within a varying-size window to identify sections. The advantages of the ZCR computation directly in the time-domain are appealing for real-time implementations. Moreover, the characterization of the degree of closeness, via the Kullback-Leibler divergence (KLD), among the pdfs of arbitrary processes (focusing on Lévy walks) and model pdfs is presented. The results obtained from the KLD experiments provide a categorical determination of the closeness degree. These results, a remarkable achievement in this research, are also promising to be used as features for classification of complex signals in real-time.

Abstract Physiological signals retrieve information from sensors implanted or attached to the human body. These signals are vital data sources that can assist in predicting the disease well before time; thus, proper treatment can be made possible. With the addition of the Internet of Things in healthcare, real-time data collection and preprocessing for signal analysis has reduced the burden of in-person appointments and decision making on healthcare. Recently, deep learning-based algorithms have been implemented by researchers for the recognition, realization and prediction of diseases by extracting and analyzing important features. In this research, real-time 1-D time series data of on-body noninvasive biomedical sensors were acquired, preprocessed and analysed for anomaly detection. Feature engineered parameters of large and diverse datasets have been used to train the data to make the anomaly detection system more reliable. For comprehensive real-time monitoring, the implemented system uses wavelet time scattering features for classification and a deep learning-based autoencoder for anomaly detection of time series signals to assist the clinical diagnosis of cardiovascular and muscular activity. In this research, an implementation of an IoT-based AI-edge healthcare framework using biomedical sensors was presented. This paper also aims to analyse cloud data acquired through biomedical sensors using signal analysis techniques for anomaly detection, and time series classification has been performed for disease prognosis in real time by implementing 24 AI-based techniques to find the most accurate technique for real-time raw signals. The deep learning-based LSTM method based on wavelet time scattering feature extraction has shown a classification test accuracy of 100%. Using wavelet time scattering feature extraction achieved 95% signal reduction to increase the real-time processing speed. In real-time signal anomaly detection, 98% accuracy is achieved using LSTM autoencoders. The average mean absolute error loss of 0.0072 for normal signals and 0.078 is achieved for anomalous signals.

The smart teaching mode overcomes the shortcomings of traditional teaching online and offline, but there are certain deficiencies in the real-time feature extraction of teachers and students. In view of this, this study uses the particle swarm image recognition and deep learning technology to process the intelligent classroom video teaching image and extracts the classroom task features in real time and sends them to the teacher. In order to overcome the shortcomings of the premature convergence of the standard particle swarm optimization algorithm, an improved strategy for multiple particle swarm optimization algorithms is proposed. In order to improve the premature problem in the search performance algorithm of PSO algorithm, this paper combines the algorithm with the useful attributes of other algorithms to improve the particle diversity in the algorithm, enhance the global search ability of the particle, and achieve effective feature extraction. The research indicates that the method proposed in this paper has certain practical effects and can provide theoretical reference for subsequent related research.

Multi-step real-time prediction based on the spatial correlation of wind speed is a research hotspot for large-scale wind power grid integration, and this paper proposes a multi-location multi-step wind speed combination prediction method based on the spatial correlation of wind speed. The correlation coefficients were determined by gray relational analysis for each turbine in the wind farm. Based on this, timing-control spatial association optimization is used for optimization and scheduling, obtaining spatial information on the typical turbine and its neighborhood information. This spatial information is reconstructed to improve the efficiency of spatial feature extraction. The reconstructed spatio-temporal information is input into a convolutional neural network with memory cells. Spatial feature extraction and multi-step real-time prediction are carried out, avoiding the problem of missing information affecting prediction accuracy. The method is innovative in terms of both efficiency and accuracy, and the prediction accuracy and generalization ability of the proposed method is verified by predicting wind speed and wind power for different wind farms.
