Fall is an increasing problem as people ageing. It may happen to anyone, but their incidence does increase with age. Hence, the elderly will be facing catastrophic consequences due to falls. Nevertheless, there are still vulnerable in its accuracy in categorizing and differentiating the Activities Daily Living (ADL) and falls as most of the existing systems cause false alarm. This paper presents the research and simulation of wearable device-based fall detection approach by addressing the building of wearable device-based fall detection system for elderly care by using mobile devices. Two main phases involve in this research: online phase and offline phase. Online phase covers in data acquisition step whereby the raw data of simulated fall by participants is collected via built-in-tri-axial accelerometer in a smartphone, then automatically sent towards the computer via wireless communication. Meanwhile, offline phase covers data pre-processing, feature extraction and selection and data classification where these steps are handled in offline mode. Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier was employed, and evaluated in the analysis. Overall accuracy rate, sensitivity, specificity as well as False Positive Rate (FPR) and False Negative Rate (FNR) were calculated. The findings suggest that SVM with Polynomial (order 5) method which achieved 68.91% overall accuracy as well as producing only 24.46% FPR is the most precise model for fall detection system in this paper. This approach has the potential to be implemented and deploy in real mobile application in future.

The majority of the senior population lives alone at home. Falls can cause serious injuries, such as fractures or head injuries. These injuries can be an obstacle for a person to move around and normally practice his daily activities. Some of these injuries can lead to a risk of death if not handled urgently. In this paper, we propose a fall detection system for elderly people based on their postures. The postures are recognized from the human silhouette which is an advantage to preserve the privacy of the elderly. The effectiveness of our approach is demonstrated on two well-known datasets for human posture classification and three public datasets for fall detection, using a Support-Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The experimental results show that our method can not only achieves a high fall detection rate but also a low false detection.

Post Impact

Automatic fall detection systems ensure that elderly people get prompt assistance after experiencing a fall. Fall detection systems based on accelerometer measurements are widely used because of their portability and low cost. However, the ability of these systems to differentiate falls from Activities of Daily Living (ADL) is still not acceptable for everyday usage at a large scale. More work is still needed to raise the performance of these systems. In our research, we explored an essential but often neglected part of accelerometer-based fall detection systems—data segmentation. The aim of our work was to explore how different configurations of windows for data segmentation affect detection accuracy of a fall detection system and to find the best-performing configuration. For this purpose, we designed a testing environment for fall detection based on a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier and evaluated the influence of the number and duration of segmentation windows on the overall detection accuracy. Thereby, an event-centered approach for data segmentation was used, where windows are set relative to a potential fall event detected in the input data. Fall and ADL data records from three publicly available datasets were utilized for the test. We found that a configuration of three sequential windows (pre-impact, impact, and post-impact) provided the highest detection accuracy on all three datasets. The best results were obtained when either a 0.5 s or a 1 s long impact window was used, combined with pre- and post-impact windows of 3.5 s or 3.75 s.

The KDD Cup '99 is commonly used dataset for training and testing IDS machine learning algorithms. Some of the major downsides of the dataset are the distribution and the proportions of U2R and R2L instances, which represent the most dangerous attack types, as well as the existence of R2L attack instances identical to normal traffic. This enforces minor category detection complexity and causes problems while building a machine learning model capable of detecting these attacks with sufficiently low false negative rate. This paper presents a new support vector machine based intrusion detection system that classifies unknown data instances according both to the feature values and weight factors that represent importance of features towards the classification. Increased detection rate and significantly decreased false negative rate for U2R and R2L categories, that have a very few instances in the training set, have been empirically proven.

Digital watermark detection is treated as classification problem of image processing. For image classification that searches for a butterfly, an image can be classified as positive class that is a butterfly and negative class that is not a butterfly. Similarly, the watermarked and unwatermarked images are perceived as positive and negative class respectively. Hence, Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used as the classifier of watermarked and unwatermarked digital image due to its ability of separating both linearly and non-linearly separable data. Hyperplanes of various detectors are briefly elaborated to show how SVM's hyperplane is suitable for Stirmark attacked watermarked image. Cox’s spread spectrum watermarking scheme is used to embed the watermark into digital images. Then, Support Vector Machine is trained with both the watermarked and unwatermarked images. Training SVM eliminates the use of watermark during the detection process. Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) graphs are plotted to assess the false positive and false negative probability of both the correlation detector of the watermarking schemes and SVM classifier. Both watermarked and unwatermarked images are later attacked under Stirmark, and then tested on the correlation detector and SVM classifier. Remedies are suggested to preprocess the training data. The optimal setting of SVM parameters is also investigated and determined besides preprocessing. The preprocessing and optimal parameters setting enable the trained SVM to achieve substantially better results than those resulting from the correlation detector.

Purpose – Phishing is one of the major challenges faced by the world of e-commerce today. Thanks to phishing attacks, billions of dollars has been lost by many companies and individuals. The global impact of phishing attacks will continue to be on the increase and thus a more efficient phishing detection technique is required. The purpose of this paper is to investigate and report the use of a nature inspired based-machine learning (ML) approach in classification of phishing e-mails. Design/methodology/approach – ML-based techniques have been shown to be efficient in detecting phishing attacks. In this paper, firefly algorithm (FFA) was integrated with support vector machine (SVM) with the primary aim of developing an improved phishing e-mail classifier (known as FFA_SVM), capable of accurately detecting new phishing patterns as they occur. From a data set consisting of 4,000 phishing and ham e-mails, a set of features, suitable for phishing e-mail detection, was extracted and used to construct the hybrid classifier. Findings – The FFA_SVM was applied to a data set consisting of up to 4,000 phishing and ham e-mails. Simulation experiments were performed to evaluate and compared the performance of the classifier. The tests yielded a classification accuracy of 99.94 percent, false positive rate of 0.06 percent and false negative rate of 0.04 percent. Originality/value – The hybrid algorithm has not been earlier apply, as in this work, to the classification and detection of phishing e-mail, to the best of the authors’ knowledge.
