An innovative network intrusion detection system (NIDS): Hierarchical deep learning model based on Unsw-Nb15 dataset

With the increasing prevalence of network intrusions, the development of effective network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) has become crucial. In this study, we propose a novel NIDS approach that combines the power of long short-term memory (LSTM) and attention mechanisms to analyze the spatial and temporal features of network traffic data. We utilize the benchmark UNSW-NB15 dataset, which exhibits a diverse distribution of patterns, including a significant disparity in the size of the training and testing sets. Unlike traditional machine learning techniques like support vector machines (SVM) and k-nearest neighbors (KNN) that often struggle with limited feature sets and lower accuracy, our proposed model overcomes these limitations. Notably, existing models applied to this dataset typically require manual feature selection and extraction, which can be time-consuming and less precise. In contrast, our model achieves superior results in binary classification by leveraging the advantages of LSTM and attention mechanisms. Through extensive experiments and evaluations with state-of-the-art ML/DL models, we demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of our proposed approach. Our findings highlight the potential of combining LSTM and attention mechanisms for enhanced network intrusion detection

Advanced Deep Learning Model for Predicting the Academic Performances of Students in Educational Institutions

Educational institutions are increasingly focused on supporting students who may be facing academic challenges, aiming to enhance their educational outcomes through targeted interventions. Within this framework, leveraging advanced deep learning techniques to develop recommendation systems becomes essential. These systems are designed to identify students at risk of underperforming by analyzing patterns in their historical academic data, thereby facilitating personalized support strategies. This research introduces an innovative deep learning model tailored for pinpointing students in need of academic assistance. Utilizing a Gated Recurrent Neural Network (GRU) architecture, the model is rich with features such as a dense layer, max-pooling layer, and the ADAM optimization method used to optimize performance. The effectiveness of this model was tested using a comprehensive dataset containing 15,165 records of student assessments collected across several academic institutions. A comparative analysis with existing educational recommendation models, like Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), AdaBoost, and Artificial Immune Recognition System v2, highlights the superior accuracy of the proposed GRU model, which achieved an impressive overall accuracy of 99.70%. This breakthrough underscores the model’s potential in aiding educational institutions to proactively support students, thereby mitigating the risks of underachievement and dropout

Neural Network Prediction Model to Explore Complex Nonlinear Behavior in Dynamic Biological Network

Organism network systems provide a biological data with high complex level. Besides, these data reflect the complex activities in organisms that identifies nonlinear behavior as well. Hence, mathematical modelling methods such as Ordinary Differential Equations model (ODE's) are becoming significant tools to predict, and expose implied knowledge and data. Unfortunately, the aforementioned approaches face some of cons such as the scarcity and the vagueness in the biological knowledge to expect the protein concentrations measurements. So, the main object of this research presents a computational model such as a neural Feed Forward Network model using Back Propagation algorithm to engage with imprecise and missing biological knowledge to provide more insight about biological systems in organisms. Therefore, the model predicts protein concentration and illustrates the nonlinear behavior for the biological dynamic behavior in precise form. Also, the desired results are matched with recent ODE's model and it provides precise results in simpler form than ODEs

Energy-Efficient Hybrid Routing Protocol for IoT Communication Systems in 5G and Beyond

One of the major concerns in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is most of the sensor nodes are powered through limited lifetime of energy-constrained batteries, which majorly affects the performance, quality, and lifetime of the network. Therefore, diverse clustering methods are proposed to improve energy efficiency of the WSNs. In the meantime, fifth-generation (5G) communications require that several Internet of Things (IoT) applications need to adopt the use of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna systems to provide an improved capacity over multi-path channel environment. In this paper, we study a clustering technique for MIMO-based IoT communication systems to achieve energy efficiency. In particular, a novel MIMO-based energy-efficient unequal hybrid clustering (MIMO-HC) protocol is proposed for applications on the IoT in the 5G environment and beyond. Experimental analysis is conducted to assess the effectiveness of the suggested MIMO-HC protocol and compared with existing state-of-the-art research. The proposed MIMO-HC scheme achieves less energy consumption and better network lifetime compared to existing techniques. Specifically, the proposed MIMO-HC improves the network lifetime by approximately 3× as long as the first node and the final node dies as compared with the existing protocol. Moreover, the energy that cluster heads consume on the proposed MIMO-HC is 40% less than that expended in the existing protocol
