Supervised intrusion detection system is a system that has the capability of learning from examples about the previous attacks to detect new attacks. Using artificial neural network (ANN)-based intrusion detection is promising for reducing the number of false negative or false positives, because ANN has the capability of learning from actual examples. In this paper, a developed learning model for fast learning network (FLN) based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) has been proposed and named as PSO-FLN. The model has been applied to the problem of intrusion detection and validated based on the famous dataset KDD99. Our developed model has been compared against a wide range of meta-heuristic algorithms for training extreme learning machine and FLN classifier. PSO-FLN has outperformed other learning approaches in the testing accuracy of the learning.

The Internet of Things (IoT) plays a crucial role in various sectors such as automobiles and the logistic tracking medical field because it consists of distributed nodes, servers, and software for effective communication. Although this IoT paradigm has suffered from intrusion threats and attacks that cause security and privacy issues, existing intrusion detection techniques fail to maintain reliability against the attacks. Therefore, the IoT intrusion threat has been analyzed using the sparse convolute network to contest the threats and attacks. The web is trained using sets of intrusion data, characteristics, and suspicious activities, which helps identify and track the attacks, mainly, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Along with this, the network is optimized using evolutionary techniques that identify and detect the regular, error, and intrusion attempts under different conditions. The sparse network forms the complex hypotheses evaluated using neurons, and the obtained event stream outputs are propagated to further hidden layer processes. This process minimizes the intrusion involvement in IoT data transmission. Effective utilization of training patterns in the network successfully classifies the standard and threat patterns. Then, the effectiveness of the system is evaluated using experimental results and discussion. Network intrusion detection systems are superior to other types of traditional network defense in providing network security. The research applied an IGA-BP network to combat the growing challenge of Internet security in the big data era, using an autoencoder network model and an improved genetic algorithm to detect intrusions. MATLAB built it, which ensures a 98.98% detection rate and 99.29% accuracy with minimal processing complexity, and the performance ratio is 90.26%. A meta-heuristic optimizer was used in the future to increase the system’s ability to forecast attacks.

The field of medical image processing plays a significant role in brain tumor classification. The survival rate of patients can be increased by diagnosing the tumor at an early stage. Several automatic systems have been developed to perform the tumor recognition process. However, the existing systems could be more efficient in identifying the exact tumor region and hidden edge details with minimum computation complexity. The Harris Hawks optimized convolution network (HHOCNN) is used in this work to resolve these issues. The brain magnetic resonance (MR) images are pre-processed, and the noisy pixels are eliminated to minimize the false tumor recognition rate. Then, the candidate region process is applied to identify the tumor region. The candidate region method investigates the boundary regions with the help of the line segments concept, which reduces the loss of hidden edge details. Various features are extracted from the segmented region, which is classified by applying a convolutional neural network (CNN). The CNN computes the exact region of the tumor with fault tolerance. The proposed HHOCNN system was implemented using MATLAB, and performance was evaluated using pixel accuracy, error rate, accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity metrics. The nature-inspired Harris Hawks optimization algorithm minimizes the misclassification error rate and improves the overall tumor recognition accuracy to 98% achieved on the Kaggle dataset.

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) is an effective technique that can convert human speech into text format or computer actions. ASR systems are widely used in smart appliances, smart homes, and biometric systems. Signal processing and machine learning techniques are incorporated to recognize speech. However, traditional systems have low performance due to a noisy environment. In addition to this, accents and local differences negatively affect the ASR system’s performance while analyzing speech signals. A precise speech recognition system was developed to improve the system performance to overcome these issues. This paper uses speech information from jim-schwoebel voice datasets processed by Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs). The MFCC algorithm extracts the valuable features that are used to recognize speech. Here, a sparse auto-encoder (SAE) neural network is used to classify the model, and the hidden Markov model (HMM) is used to decide on the speech recognition. The network performance is optimized by applying the Harris Hawks optimization (HHO) algorithm to fine-tune the network parameter. The fine-tuned network can effectively recognize speech in a noisy environment.
