Recently, Telehealth connects patients to vital healthcare services via remote monitoring, wireless communications, videoconferencing, and electronic consults. By increasing access to specialists and physicians, telehealth assists in ensuring patients receive the proper care at the right time and right place. Teleophthalmology is a study of telemedicine that provides services for eye care using digital medical equipment and telecommunication technologies. Multimedia computing with Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) for telehealth has the potential to revolutionize various aspects of our society, but several technical challenges should be resolved before this potential can be realized. Advances in artificial intelligence methods and tools reduce waste and wait times, provide service efficiency and better insights, and increase speed, the level of accuracy, and productivity in medicine and telehealth. Therefore, this study develops an XAI-enabled teleophthalmology for diabetic retinopathy grading and classification (XAITO-DRGC) model. The proposed XAITO-DRGC model utilizes OphthoAI IoMT headsets to enable remote monitoring of diabetic retinopathy (DR) disease. To accomplish this, the XAITO-DRGC model applies median filtering (MF) and contrast enhancement as a pre-processing step. In addition, the XAITO-DRGC model applies U-Net-based image segmentation and SqueezeNet-based feature extractor. Moreover, Archimedes optimization algorithm (AOA) with a bidirectional gated recurrent convolutional unit (BGRCU) is exploited for DR detection and classification. The experimental validation of the XAITO-DRGC method can be tested using a benchmark dataset and the outcomes are assessed under distinct prospects. Extensive comparison studies stated the enhancements of the XAITO-DRGC model over recent approaches.

Recently, computer aided diagnosis (CAD) model becomes an effective tool for decision making in healthcare sector. The advances in computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have resulted in the effective design of CAD models, which enables to detection of the existence of diseases using various imaging modalities. Oral cancer (OC) has commonly occurred in head and neck globally. Earlier identification of OC enables to improve survival rate and reduce mortality rate. Therefore, the design of CAD model for OC detection and classification becomes essential. Therefore, this study introduces a novel Computer Aided Diagnosis for OC using Sailfish Optimization with Fusion based Classification (CADOC-SFOFC) model. The proposed CADOC-SFOFC model determines the existence of OC on the medical images. To accomplish this, a fusion based feature extraction process is carried out by the use of VGGNet-16 and Residual Network (ResNet) model. Besides, feature vectors are fused and passed into the extreme learning machine (ELM) model for classification process. Moreover, SFO algorithm is utilized for effective parameter selection of the ELM model, consequently resulting in enhanced performance. The experimental analysis of the CADOC-SFOFC model was tested on Kaggle dataset and the results reported the betterment of the CADOC-SFOFC model over the compared methods with maximum accuracy of 98.11%. Therefore, the CADOC-SFOFC model has maximum potential as an inexpensive and non-invasive tool which supports screening process and enhances the detection efficiency.

The internet of things (ransomware refers to a type of malware) is the concept of connecting devices and objects of all types on the internet. IoT cybersecurity is the task of protecting ecosystems and IoT gadgets from cyber threats. Currently, ransomware is a serious threat challenging the computing environment, which needs instant attention to avoid moral and financial blackmail. Thus, there comes a real need for a novel technique that can identify and stop this kind of attack. Several earlier detection techniques followed a dynamic analysis method including a complex process. However, this analysis takes a long period of time for processing and analysis, during which the malicious payload is often sent. This study presents a new model of dwarf mongoose optimization with machine-learning-driven ransomware detection (DWOML-RWD). The presented DWOML-RWD model was mainly developed for the recognition and classification of goodware/ransomware. In the presented DWOML-RWD technique, the feature selection process is initially carried out using an enhanced krill herd optimization (EKHO) algorithm by the use of dynamic oppositional-based learning (QOBL). For ransomware detection, DWO with an extreme learning machine (ELM) classifier can be utilized. The design of the DWO algorithm aids in the optimal parameter selection of the ELM model. The experimental validation of the DWOML-RWD method can be examined on a benchmark dataset. The experimental results highlight the superiority of the DWOML-RWD model over other approaches.

An Internet of Things (IoT)-assisted Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) is a system where WSN nodes and IoT devices together work to share, collect, and process data. This incorporation aims to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of data analysis and collection, resulting in automation and improved decision-making. Security in WSN-assisted IoT can be referred to as the measures initiated for protecting WSN linked to the IoT. This article presents a Binary Chimp Optimization Algorithm with Machine Learning based Intrusion Detection (BCOA-MLID) technique for secure IoT-WSN. The presented BCOA-MLID technique intends to effectively discriminate different types of attacks to secure the IoT-WSN. In the presented BCOA-MLID technique, data normalization is initially carried out. The BCOA is designed for the optimal selection of features to improve intrusion detection efficacy. To detect intrusions in the IoT-WSN, the BCOA-MLID technique employs a class-specific cost regulation extreme learning machine classification model with a sine cosine algorithm as a parameter optimization approach. The experimental result of the BCOA-MLID technique is tested on the Kaggle intrusion dataset, and the results showcase the significant outcomes of the BCOA-MLID technique with a maximum accuracy of 99.36%, whereas the XGBoost and KNN-AOA models obtained a reduced accuracy of 96.83% and 97.20%, respectively.

Cloud computing (CC) refers to an Internet-based computing technology in which shared resources, such as storage, software, information, and platform, are offered to users on demand. CC is a technology through which virtualized and dynamically scalable resources are presented to users on the Internet. Security is highly significant in this on-demand CC. Therefore, this paper presents improved metaheuristics with a fuzzy logic-based intrusion detection system for the cloud security (IMFL-IDSCS) technique. The IMFL-IDSCS technique can identify intrusions in the distributed CC platform and secure it from probable threats. An individual sample of IDS is deployed for every client, and it utilizes an individual controller for data management. In addition, the IMFL-IDSCS technique uses an enhanced chimp optimization algorithm-based feature selection (ECOA-FS) method for choosing optimal features, followed by an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model enforced to recognize intrusions. Finally, the hybrid jaya shark smell optimization (JSSO) algorithm is used to optimize the membership functions (MFs).

The extensive comparison study reported the enhanced outcomes of the IMFL-IDSCS model with maximum detection efficiency with accuracy of 99.31%, precision of 92.03%, recall of 78.25%, and F-score of 81.80%.

The internet of things (IoT) paradigm roles an important play in enhancing smart city tracking applications and managing city procedures in real time. The most important problem connected to smart city applications has been solid waste management, which can have adverse effects on society’s health and environment. Waste management has developed a challenge faced by not only evolving nations but also established and developed counties. Solid waste management is an important and stimulating problem for environments across the entire world. Therefore, there is the need to develop an effective technique that will remove these problems, or at least decreases them to a minimal level. This study develops a modified cuttlefish swarm optimization with machine learning-based solid waste management (MCSOML-SWM) in smart cities. The MCSOML-SWM technique aims to recognize different categories of solid wastes and enable smart waste management. In the MCSOML-SWM model, a single shot detector (SSD) model allows effectual recognition of objects. Then, a deep convolutional neural network-based MixNet model was exploited to produce feature vectors. Since trial-and-error hyperparameter tuning is a tedious process, the MCSO algorithm was applied for automated hyperparameter tuning. For accurate waste classification, the MCSOML-SWM technique applies support vector machine (SVM) in this study. A comprehensive set of simulations demonstrate the improved classification performance of the MCSOML-SWM model with maximum accuracy of 99.34%.
