Recently, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been used in several applications of environmental modeling and land use inventories. At the same time, the computer vision-based remote sensing image classification models are needed to monitor the modifications over time such as vegetation, inland water, bare soil or human infrastructure regardless of spectral, spatial, temporal, and radiometric resolutions. In this aspect, this paper proposes an ensemble of DL-based multimodal land cover classification (EDL-MMLCC) models using remote sensing images. The EDL-MMLCC technique aims to classify remote sensing images into the different cloud, shades, and land cover classes. Primarily, median filtering-based preprocessing and data augmentation techniques take place. In addition, an ensemble of DL models, namely VGG-19, Capsule Network (CapsNet), and MobileNet, is used for feature extraction. In addition, the training process of the DL models can be enhanced by the use of hosted cuckoo optimization (HCO) algorithm. Finally, the salp swarm algorithm (SSA) with regularized extreme learning machine (RELM) classifier is applied for land cover classification. The design of the HCO algorithm for hyperparameter optimization and SSA for parameter tuning of the RELM model helps to increase the classification outcome to a maximum level considerably. The proposed EDL-MMLCC technique is tested using an Amazon dataset from the Kaggle repository. The experimental results pointed out the promising performance of the EDL-MMLCC technique over the recent state of art approaches.
Mobile edge computing (MEC) becomes popular as it offers cloud services and functionalities to the edge devices, to enhance the quality of service (QoS) of end-users by offloading their computationally intensive tasks. At the same time, the rise in the number of internet of things (IoT) objectives poses considerable cybersecurity issues owing to the latest rise in the existence of attacks. Presently, the development of deep learning and hardware technologies offers a way to detect the present traffic condition, data offloading, and cyber-attacks in edge networks. The utilization of DL models finds helpful in several domains in which the MEC provides the decisive beneficiary of the approach for traffic prediction and attack detection since a large quantity of data generated by IoT devices enables deep models to learn better than shallow approaches. In this view, this paper presents a new DL based traffic prediction with a data offloading mechanism with cyber-attack detection (DLTPDO-CD) technique. The proposed model involves three major processes traffic prediction, data offloading, and attack detection. Initially, bidirectional long short term memory (BiLSTM) based traffic prediction to enable the proficient data offloading process. Then, the adaptive sampling cross entropy (ASCE) technique is executed to maximize the network throughput by making decisions related to offloading users to the WiFi system. Finally, a deep belief network (DBN) optimized by a barnacles mating optimizer (BMO) algorithm called BMO-DBN is applied as a detection tool for cyberattacks in MEC. Extensive simulation is carried out to ensure the proficient performance of the DLTPDO-CD model. The experimental outcome stated the superiority of the presented model over the compared methods under different dimensions.
Medical image analysis for pancreatic cancer (PC) classification and recognition is a vital domain of research and medical practices. PC is challenging to diagnose and treat; medical imaging approaches aid early diagnosis to analyse and treat, and employ of medical imaging approaches are support early diagnosis, correct analysis, and treatment planning. Computed Tomography (CT) scans are generally utilized to detect and classify PCs. Deep learning (DL) approaches have demonstrated the ability to support the diagnosis and detection of several medical conditions, containing PC. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a kind of DL approach generally employed for image analysis that is trained to automatically learn and extract features in medical images. So, this study purposes a new Sparrow Search Algorithm with Stacked Deep Learning based Medical Image Analysis for Pancreatic Cancer Detection and Classification (SSASDL-PCDC) technique on CT images. The purpose of the study is to design an SSASDL-PCDC technique to achieve improved pancreatic cancer detection performance. In addition, the SSASDL-PCDC technique applies Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) with a densely connected networks (DenseNet) model for the feature extraction process. Moreover, convolutional neural network with bi-directional long short-term memory (CNN-BiLSTM) approach was utilized for PC detection and classification. Furthermore, Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA) is used to adjust the hyperparameter values of the CNN-BiLSTM technique.

The simulation outcome value depicted that the SSASDL-PCDC technique with maximum sensitivity of 99.26%, specificity of 99.26%, and accuracy of 99.26%.
The aim of this paper is to analyze the sales of a big superstore, and predict their future sales for helping them to increase their profits and make their brand even better and competitive as per the market trends by generating customer satisfaction as well. The technique used for prediction of sales is the Linear Regression Algorithm, which is a famous algorithm in the field of Machine Learning. The sales data is from the year 2011-13 and prediction of data for the year 2014 is done. Then, real-time data of the year 2014 is also taken and the actual data of the year 2014 has been compared to the predicted data to calculate the accuracy of prediction. This is done so as to validate our results with the actual ones. This in turn would help them take necessary actions (which has been discussed later) for their increase their sales.
