Computer Based Detection of Normal and Alcoholic Signals Using Discrete Fourier Transform
Alcoholism is a severe, disorder that affects; the functionality of neurons in the central nervous system and leads to the loss of .health and wealth. The suggested technique applies statistical and fractal dimension (FD) features to classify alcoholic and normal subjects using eight channels under an SF-based machine learning architecture. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are placed in a framework and separated into different EEG bands using an orthogonal wavelet filter. The following three classification approaches are used to classify the alcoholic and normal patterns of EEG data: least-square support vector machine, vector machine (SVM), and Naïve Bayesian. Results showed that the best classification method was SVM with a sensitivity of 0.9267%, an accuracy of 0.9892%, and a specificity of 0.9916%

Arabic Crime Tweet Filtering and Prediction Using Machine Learning
Crime is undeniably rising, thus negatively affecting countries’ economies. Despite several efforts to study crime prediction to reduce crime rates, few studies take the timeline factor into account when extracting crime-related tweets to predict crime. Aiming to predict Arabic crime tweets on Twitter/X, this study predicts crimes after analyzing social sentiment—that is, whether a tweet raises positive, negative, or neutral feelings—and filters the tweets based on crime behavior through an intelligent dictionary built through a genetic algorithm. The study uses a variety of machine learning (ML) models—random forest, logistic regression, and decision trees—which are assessed according to their accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 scores to guarantee robustness and dependability in crime prediction. The accuracy after filtering crimes based on an intelligent dictionary is 97% for decision tree, 97% for random forest, and 94.43% for logistic regression. This research will provide insight into potential crime attitudes and public opinion toward safety and law enforcement
Digital Image Forgery Detection And Localization Using The Innovated U-Net
A reliable image copy–move forgery detection approach adaptable to different scenarios of tampering with color images is crucial for many applications. Different methods and solutions have been effectively proposed, but they are still subject to false positive/negative detections and cannot handle the variety of copy–move forgeries. In this paper, a machine learning model that combines ResNet 50 and U-net architectures for automatic image forgery detection in color image(s) is presented. The proposed system is inspired by the ResNet 50 architecture as an encoder and the U-Net architecture as a decoder. The encoder function implies applying convolution and normalizing for feature extraction. Conversely, the decoder functions is locating the spatial features. The decoder in the U-Net network comprises multiple decoder blocks, which are connected to corresponding encoder blocks by employing concatenate layers. A binary mask is then produced to represent the tampered regions in the image. Quantitative experimental results on two standard public datasets and a comparison with state-of-the-art methods demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed model
Enhanced Hybrid Algorithm for E-AbdulRazzaq and Fast Online Hybrid Matching Algorithms for Exact String Matching
Algorithms for string matching are considered one of the most extensively researched topics in the field of computer science due to their substantial role in various applications, such as information retrieval, editing, security, firewalls, and biological applications. String matching involves examining the optimal alignment by comparing the characters in the pattern and the text. Over the past two decades, it has gained considerable attention due to technological advancements. The need to address string-matching problems has also emerged because of its wide-ranging applications. This study presents the E-ARFO hybrid string-matching algorithm, which combines the best features of two original algorithms, namely, E-AbdulRazzaq and fast online hybrid matching. Compared with other algorithms, the proposed method demonstrates outstanding performance in terms of the number of attempts and character comparisons conducted across multiple databases, including DNA and protein sequences. Results indicate that irrespective of the number of attempts or character comparisons made, E-ARFO consistently ranks first for short and lengthy patterns in most databases. Results also reveal reduced runtimes and competitive character comparisons. Moreover, results underscore the potential effect of E_ARFO on computational biology, offering a new paradigm for precision and efficiency in string matching
Maximum Error Insertion (MEI): A Novel Benchmarking Method for Data Hiding Algorithms
Data hiding is becoming increasingly important due to the growing threat to the privacy and security of data from intruders and hackers. This situation is accompanied by the advancement in artificial intelligence applications designed to reveal hidden data, making it difficult to choose the most appropriate hiding approach from those presented in literature. The benchmarking method serves as an important roadmap for making decisions. We propose a distinct plain benchmarking method called maximum error insertion (MEI) benchmarking. This approach intends to hide data using maximum error insertion. The MEI refers to the maximum amount of distortion that can be added to host data (such as image or audio) while still ensuring the successful retrieval of hidden data. The maximum error that can be generated by each hiding algorithm is intentionally inserted to the media file, thus giving us maximum error, maximum capacity, and maximum sensitivity to signal processing attacks. Investigation of the two hiding algorithms demonstrates their applicability and precision, and their implementation significantly enhances the reliability of results during the benchmarking stage
