Frederick Abban, Dr. Koudjo M. KoumadiDepartment of Computer Engineering, University of Ghana, Legon, Ghana

ABSTRACT

The universal exponential increase in the demand for high data rate for mobile devices has propelled lots of research in wireless communication. Deploying and implementing a wireless network in a particular geographical area requires proper planning since all existing propagation models are not “one size fit all” models. In this study, path losses of seven empirical propagation model were simulated and compared with results of measurements of received signal strength in Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) scenario for Accra, Ghana on 2300 MHz. The study terrain is similar to most cities on the coast of West Africa. Correction factors were computed and applied to original propagation model equations and the Ericsson 9999 model showed the best fit to the measurement data, thus it can be used to predict received signal strength for Accra and other environments with similar terrains.

ABSTRACT

In order to solve the problem of limited channel resources of the Internet of Things (IoT) and improve the information timeliness of IoT system, a multi-access Cognitive Radio (CR) IoT system model was considered. The model included one Primary User (PU) and two Secondary User (SU) nodes. PU had spectrum access rights, and two SU could share the PU spectrum. Both SUs had Age of Information (AoI) oriented data streams. The difference was that the first user cannot control the generation of status updates and can only generate status updates according to a certain probability, while the second user generated status updates according to any generation strategy. Receiver adopted multiple antennas and transmitter adopted single antenna. Under the constraint of the main user, the average age of information of the First Secondary User node in the First Come First Served (FCFS), Last Come Last Served (LCLS) and the packet dropping queue was analyzed respectively. Then the average age of information of the second user node in the threshold strategy was derived. Finally, an optimization problem was proposed to minimize the average age of information of the first user and lower the average age of information of the second user than the given threshold. The constraint condition of the problem was convex, but the objective function was non-convex, so a suboptimal technique was introduced and the optimal solution was obtained by double convex optimization algorithm. Simulation results show the performance of the proposed algorithm under different system parameters.

ABSTRACT

Today there are more than 4.39 billion internet users that almost 70 percent of them use social media on mobile devices. Network security is one of the most important aspects to consider while working over the internet, LAN or other networks, no matter how small or big your business is. We know many zero day attacks are continuously emerging because of the addition of various protocols mainly from Internet of Things (IoT). previously known attacks in cyberattacks can detect by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions such as Neural Networks, Machine Learning (ML), Support Vector Machine (SVM), decision tree, Hidden Markov Model (HMM), Hierarchical Clustering, Game Theory (GT), and Natural Language Processing (NLP). But advanced mechanisms of AI are not able to detect all of attacks. On the other hand Deep Learning (DL) techniques which are capable of providing embedded intelligence in the IoT devices and networks, are emerged to cope with different security problems. Then we used Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Genetic Algorithm.

ABSTRACT

Social network providers offer a variety of entertainment services in exchange for end users’ personal information, such as their identity. The majority of users access social networking sites via their smartphones, which they utilize in conjunction with a traditional authenticator like a password. On the other hand, aggregators, which pull content from multiple social networks, are often used to get into smartphone apps that may involve mobile ticketing, identification, and access control. They are a potential target for malware and spyware injections due to their powerful position. Malware is capable of circumventing authentication mechanisms in order to get access to social networking services, which may result in stealing the personal information of users. To deflect any type of attack from malicious software, BrightPass [22], a malware-resistant method based on screen brightness, was introduced. Conversely, we have demonstrated that the BrightPass user’s personally identifiable information, such as PIN numbers, may be recovered by evaluating the variations between the recorded input from many authentication sessions. We have then offered various enhanced BrightPass versions to address the observed vulnerability. Our enhanced BrightPass versions are both simple and secure to use when it comes to accessing social networks via mobiles.

Fatai Jimoh1, Mo Saraee2, Azar Shahgholian3, 1,2School of Engineering Science and Humanity, University of Salford, United Kingdom, 3Liverpool Business School, Liverpool John Moore University, Liverpool, United Kingdom

ABSTRACT

The conventional data mining approach to crime prediction models often depends on historical data. However, considering the current global crime trend where offenders frequently register their criminal intent on social media and also invite others to witness and/or participate in various crimes, there is a need for an alternative and more dynamic approach.This paper, therefore, applied an ensemble of machine learning algorithms to reducethe crime rate in Manchester cities by combining historical crime data with tweet data. To overcome the problem with data qualities and bias in our prediction we ensured that all the features used in this work were from the same year and same month. The ensembled method showed the highest performance in predicting different categories of crimes with the highest accuracy when compared with base models and our study also revealed the contribution of sentiment score to the overall performance of the model. Finally, we conclude that social media data if properly mined would contribute to an improved prediction on the likelihood of crimes occurrence as well as their prediction.

Seyed Mohammad Hossein Abedi Nejad, Mohammad Amin Behzadi and Abdolrahim Taheri, Iran

ABSTRACT

Overloading in DC servo motors is a major concern in industries, as many companies face the problem of finding expert operators, and also human monitoring may not be an effective solution. Therefore, this paper proposed an embedded Artificial intelligence (AI) approach using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) using a new transformation to extract faults from real-time input signals without human interference. Our main purpose is to extract as many as possible features from the input signal to achieve a relaxed dataset that results in an effective but compact network to provide real-time fault detection even in a low-memory microcontroller. Besides, fault detection method a synchronous dualmotor system is also proposed to take action in faulty events. To fulfill this intention, a one-dimensional input signal from the output current of each DC servo motor is monitored and transformed into a 3d stack of data and then the CNN is implemented into the processor to detect any fault corresponding to overloading, finally experimental setup results in 99.9997% accuracy during testing for a model with nearly 8000 parameters. In addition, the proposed dual-motor system could achieve overload reduction and provide a fault-tolerant system and it is shown that this system also takes advantage of less energy consumption.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of social media sentiments on predicting the Btcoin price using machine learning models, with a focus on integrating on-chain data and employing a Multi Modal Fusion Model. For conducting the experiments, the crypto market data, on-chain data, and corresponding social media data (Twitter) has been collected from 2014 to 2022 containing over 2000 samples. We trained various models over historical data including K-Nearest Neighbors, Logistic Regression, Gaussian Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machine, Extreme Gradient Boosting and a Multi Modal Fusion. Next, we added Twitter sentiment data to the models, using the Twitter-roBERTa and VADAR models to analyse the sentiments expressed in social media about Bitcoin. We then compared the performance of these models with and without the Twitter sentiment data and found that the inclusion of sentiment feature resulted in consistently better performance, with Twitter-RoBERTa-based sentiment giving an average F1 scores of 0.79. The best performing model was an optimised Multi Modal Fusion classifier using TwitterRoBERTa based sentiment, producing an F1 score of 0.85. This study represents a significant contribution to the field of financial forecasting by demonstrating the potential of social media sentiment analysis, onchain data integration, and the application of a Multi Modal Fusion model to improve the accuracy and robustness of machine learning models for predicting market trends, providing a valuable tool for investors, brokers, and traders seeking to make informed decisions.

Drgpt: Leveraging Large-language Models for Diagnosing Patients

Abhinav Gullapalli and Neil Patel, College of Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA

ABSTRACT

The rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs) over the 21st century has sparked curiosity in diverse opportunities to apply deep learning with natural language. Our work evaluates the application of LLMs to diagnose patients in the clinical setting. Specifically, we apply OpenAIs GPT-3.5-Turbo1 with zeroshot learning and fine-tune Big Bird2 and OpenAIs GPT-3-Turbo1 on an open-source French dataset3 encompassing 49 pathologies with various related questions and answers which we translate to English. We further extend the French dataset with manually labelled ICD-10 codes for a standardized, languageagnostic representation of each pathology. Model performance for diagnosing patients is evaluated on three increasingly difficult tasks to identify partial representations and the complete representation of each pathologys respective ICD-10 code. We find that Few-Shot GPT-3-Davinci performs best on the primary task of interest, namely identifying the complete ICD-10 code for patient diagnosis, which is inherently the hardest of the three tasks evaluated in this work. The development of future DrGPTs, while exciting and potentially useful, should be used responsibly while considering the ethical implications of diagnosing and treating human patients through LLMs.

Pricespy: a Comprehensive Price and Product Comparison Service

Venkat Amith Woonna and Rahul Sandireddy, Department of Computer Science, Vellore Institute of Technology, Chennai, India

ABSTRACT

The process of monitoring the price of a product and receiving alerts if the price drops involves entering the URL of the product, setting a threshold price, and receiving an alert email if the price drops below the set threshold value. This process can help users to monitor the price of a product and potentially save money if the product goes on sale or experiences a price drop. Price tracking tools that use data extraction systems such as this can be very useful for users who want to monitor the price of a particular product and get alerted when the price drops to a certain level. The system being described is a price tracking tool that extracts data from e-commerce websites based on the user’s URL input, specifically for Flipkart and Amazon. This system employs the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process, where the first step is to extract the data, followed by transforming the data, and then loading the data into the system. Once the system has collected the price data, it sends an email alert to the user with the lowest available price. The model periodically checks the price of products for every 4 hours, which can be set to any duration by the user on e-commerce websites, extract data on price history, and provides insights into the opinions of other users about the product. It is worth noting that data extraction from websites without permission is not legal and can result in legal action against the perpetrator. However, many e-commerce websites offer APIs or other methods for authorized data extraction that can be used to create price-tracking tools or other applications. Additionally, it is important to consider the ethical implications of using such systems, particularly in terms of potential harm to small businesses and consumers. Price tracking tools can be useful for users who want to make informed decisions about purchasing products at the optimal price point or understand how other users feel about the product. The system described can help users monitor the price of a particular product and get alerted when the price drops to a certain level, and can also provide insights into the product’s pricing history and patterns. However, it is important to use such systems ethically and legally and to consider the potential harm to small businesses and consumers.

A Dual Band Printed F-antenna Using a Trap With Small Band Separation

Prasad Samudrala, Justin Jose, and Amit Kulkarni, Ph.D, Honeywell Building Technologies,Advanced Technology Group, Honeywell Inc

ABSTRACT

Trap antenna is well known method and has many applications. With this method, trap(s) are used on antenna to block currents of some frequencies and so electrically divide the antenna into multiple segments and thus one antenna can work on multiple frequencies. In this paper, trap antenna method is used to design a dual band Sub GHz printed F-antenna. The antenna is printed on FR4 board to achieve low cost solution. The two bands are 865-870 MHz and 902-928 MHz. The challenge of this design is that the frequency separation of the two bands is very small. In this case,and also the extra section for low frequency band is too small. Then, the influence of trap LC component variation due to tolerance to the two resonant frequencies is big, and so it is difficult to achieve good in band return loss within the LC tolerance. This is the main difficulty of this design. The problem is solved by placing the low band section away from the end of the antenna.

The Energy-impulse-information Tensor: a Unified Framework for Understanding Physical Phenomena

Alessandro Rizzo, Independent Researcher, Brescia, Italy

ABSTRACT

TIn this paper, we present the Energy-Impulse-Information Tensor (EIIT), a unified framework for studying the interplay between energy[3], impulse, and information in physical systems. The EIIT combines classical concepts of energy and impulse with the more recent concept of information[7], allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of physical phenomena. We provide a detailed mathematical definition of the EIIT and demonstrate its applicability in several areas including fluid dynamics, quantum mechanics and cosmology. Our results show that the EIIT has potential to be a powerful tool for predicting behavior of physical systems and we encourage further research into its applications. By incorporating principles of quantum mechanics into this framework it allows for analysis and manipulation of complex systems through study of their energy, momentum and information properties. We demonstrate potential applications of EIIT in addressing fundamental problems in computer science, physics and mathematics. A formal mathematical definition of EIIT is presented along with its symmetries and properties. This framework has been applied to study four-color theorem with connections to golden ratio explored. Additionally we have investigated relationship between equation of continuity and EIIT framework emphasizing role determinant energy components play in ensuring stability and continuity in system. By framing the P vs NP problem in terms of efficient energy allocation using the EIIT tensor, we have shown that finding an efficient algorithm to solve an NP problem is equivalent to finding an efficient way to allocate energy in a system described by the EIIT tensor. We have proposed a modified version of the Karmarkar-Karp algorithm for solving the subset sum problem using the EIIT framework. However, it is important to note that the P vs NP problem remains unsolved as the conjecture of existence of an algorithm satisfying the equation of continuity with det E i = 0 for all NP problems has not been proven.

ABSTRACT

In this paper, a study of autonomous vehicles in MATLAB/Simulink® 2022 is carried out and is conducted using vehicles with three different speeds 40, 80, and 120 km/hr. A normal highway in UAE is considered for road modelling. All vehicles modelled are representative of that available in the UAE. In the model, lane following and lane-keeping assistance functions and Simulink block which are described using artificial neural networks are selected. Simulation is validated with existing published results of physical vehicle models. In the simulations, it is assumed that vehicles have minimal steering angles as the system is in an autonomous collision free environment, selected from MATLAB. Results are obtained as velocities, accelerations, and safe distance with respect to the preceding vehicle. The following results are critically analysed and validated.

Sequential Recommendation Model for Next Purchase Prediction

Xin Chen, Alex Reibman, Sanjay Arora, Ernst & Young LLP. US.

ABSTRACT

Timeliness and contextual accuracy of recommendations are increasingly important when delivering contemporary digital marketing experiences. Conventional recommender systems (RS) suggest relevant but time-invariant items to users by accounting for their past purchases. These recommendations only map to customers’ general preferences rather than a customer’s specific needs immediately preceding a purchase. In contrast, RSs that consider the order of transactions, purchases, or experiences to measure evolving preferences can offer more salient and effective recommendations to customers: Sequential RSs not only benefit from a better behavioral understanding of a user’s current needs but also better predictive power. In this paper, we demonstrate and rank the effectiveness of a sequential recommendation system by utilizing a production dataset of over 2.7 million credit card transactions for 46K cardholders. The method first employs an autoencoder on raw transaction data and submits observed transaction encodings to a GRU-based sequential model. The sequential model produces a MAP@1 metric of 47% on the out-of-sample test set, in line with existing research. We also discuss implications for embedding real-time predictions using the sequential RS into Nexus, a scalable, low-latency, event-based digital experience architecture.

Optimised Association Rule Mining for Health Data

Purnima Das1, John F. Roddick1, Patricia A. H. Williams1 and Mehwish Nasim1, 2, 1College of Science and Engineering, Flinders University, Tonsley, SA 5042, 2The University of Western Australia, Perth, WA 6009

ABSTRACT

Association Rule Mining (ARM) has been recognised as a valuable and easy-to-interpret data mining technique in response to the exponential growth of big data. However, research on ARM techniques has mainly focused on enhancing computational efficiency while neglecting the automatic determination of threshold values for measuring the "interestingness" of items. Selecting appropriate threshold values (such as support, confidence, etc.) significantly affects the quality of the association rule mining outcomes. This study proposes an algorithm that utilises Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and ARM techniques to determine optimised threshold values in the health domain automatically. The algorithm was evaluated using the UCI machine learning medical database for heart disease. Results show that the proposed algorithm is capable of generating frequent itemsets and rules in an efficient manner and can detect the optimum threshold values. This research has practical implications for the health domains, as it can extract valuable results.

ABSTRACT

The condition of the propagation environment is essential in the design and execution of any transmission medium. As a result, mathematical modeling of transport route has been a focus of study for centuries. Geometrical channel modeling, as demonstrated by researchers and theorists, is best suited for mobile-to-mobile (M2M) communication settings. Several hollow cylindrical geometrical systematic collections have been thoroughly studied in this research. According to the literature, an elliptical modeling technique could more centralized national the transmission channel. Furthermore, the influence of different channel coefficients across multiple-in-multiple-out (MIMO) resonators has been illustrated utilizing geometrical models. Moreover, the velocity of a mobile station (MS) inside the M2M presenter has still not been assessed among the MIMO resonators. For 5G communications networks, a study of several mobile station (MS) variables would be given.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this Natural Language Processing (NLP) paper is to discover, learn, and help others to better understand and disclose the sentiment of fictional and blended, non-fictional stories during the period of the Wilmington Riots of 1898 utilizing the literature Hanover; or the Persecution of the Lowly. In addition, the goal of the project is to process the events and sentiments of the characters to derive feeling from the story. We analyzed each sentence and designated a specific sentiment (neutral, positive, negative) and emotion to it. After processing those sentences, we conducted several machine learning processes to try and predict and/or classify the sentiment of a sentence from the text. Although NLP balancing techniques were attempted, our models were not able to predict the sentiment of the sentences at a decent accuracy level. Future work may involve conducting a sentiment analysis on Hanover at a document-level or phrase-level analysis.

Manar Khalid Ibraheem, Mbarka Belhaj Mohamed and Ahmed Fakhfakh, Laboratory of signals, systems, artificial intelligence and networks (SM@RTS), Digital Research Center of Sfax (CRNS)

ABSTRACT

Forest fire applications face a significant challenge in handling a large volume of sensitive data that requires transmission, immediate storage, and processing. The acquisition of information related to natural phenomena is crucial and necessitates efficient tracking and timely processing. However, this task poses constraints in terms of storage space, computing time, and power consumption, particularly within wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that comprise low-cost sensor nodes with limited size and power capabilities. To optimize sensor lifetime and overall bandwidth utilization, it becomes imperative to reduce the transmitted data. This research focuses on investigating the impact of energy consumption in WSNs on forest fire applications by incorporating sleep-based concepts and analysing the disparity in power consumption between sleep mode and active mode. The simulation and analysis of results will be conducted using the Omnet++ program.
