Introduction: Cloud computing is considered a remarkable paradigm shift in Information Technology (IT), offering scalable and virtualized resources to end users at a low cost in terms of infrastructure and maintenance. These resources offer an exceptional degree of flexibility and adhere to established standards, formats, and networking protocols while being managed by several management entities. However, the existence of flaws and vulnerabilities in underlying technology and outdated protocols opens the door for malicious network attacks.Methods: This study addresses these vulnerabilities by introducing a method for classifying attacks in Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud environments, utilizing machine learning methodologies within a digital forensics framework. Various machine learning algorithms are employed to automatically identify and categorize cyber-attacks based on metrics related to process performance. The dataset is divided into three distinct categories—CPU usage, memory usage, and disk usage—to assess each category’s impact on the detection of attacks within cloud computing systems.Results: Decision Tree and Neural Network models are recommended for analyzing disk-related features due to their superior performance in detecting attacks with an accuracy of 90% and 87.9%, respectively. Neural Network is deemed more suitable for identifying CPU behavior, achieving an accuracy of 86.2%. For memory-related features, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) demonstrates the best False Negative Rate (FNR) value of 1.8%.Discussion: Our study highlights the significance of customizing the selection of classifiers based on the specific system feature and the intended focus of detection. By tailoring machine learning models to particular system features, the detection of malicious activities in IaaS cloud environments can be enhanced, offering practical insights into effective attack classification.

A leading cause of mortality globally, skin cancer is deadly. Early skin cancer diagnosis reduces mortality. Visual inspection is the main skin cancer diagnosis tool; however, it is imprecise. Researchers propose deep-learning techniques to assist physicians identify skin tumors fast and correctly. Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can identify distinct objects in complex tasks. We train a CNN on photos with merely pixels and illness labels to classify skin lesions. We train on HAM-10000 using a CNN. On the HAM10000 dataset, the suggested model scored 95.23% efficiency, 95.30% sensitivity, and 95.91% specificity.

The treatment of brain tumors poses significant challenges and contributes to a significant number of deaths on a global scale. The process of identifying brain tumors in medical practice involves the visual analysis of photographs by healthcare experts, who manually delineate the tumor locations. However, this approach is characterized by its time-consuming nature and susceptibility to errors. In recent years, scholars have put forth automated approaches to early detection of brain tumors. However, these techniques face challenges attributed to their limited precision and significant false-positive rates. There is a need for an effective methodology to identify and classify tumors, which involves extracting reliable features and achieving precise disease classification. This work presents a novel model architecture that is derived from the EfficientNetB3. The suggested framework has been trained and assessed on a dataset consisting of 7,023 magnetic resonance images. The findings of this study indicate that the fused feature vector exhibits superior performance compared to the individual vectors. Furthermore, the technique that was provided showed superior performance compared to the currently available systems and attained a 100% accuracy rate. As a result, it is viable to employ this technique within a clinical environment for the purpose of categorizing brain tumors based on magnetic resonance images scans.

Chemical engineers' formulation, development, and stance processes all heavily rely on models. The physical and economic consequences of these decisions can have disastrous effects. Attempts to employ a hybrid form of artificial intelligence for modeling in various disciplines. However, they fell short of expectations. Due to a rise in the amount of data and computational resources during the previous five years. A lot of recent work has gone into developing new data sources, indexes, chemical interface designs, and machine learning algorithms in an effort to facilitate the adoption of these techniques in the research community. However, there are some important downsides to machine learning gains. The most promising uses for machine learning are in time-critical tasks like real-time optimization and planning that require extreme precision and can build on models that can self-learn to recognize patterns, draw conclusions from data, and become more intelligent over time. Due to their limited exposure to computer science and data analysis, the majority of chemical engineers are potentially vulnerable to the development of artificial intelligence. But in the not-too-distant future, chemical engineers' modeling toolbox will include a reliable machine learning component.
Phishing email assaults have been a prevalent cybercriminal tactic for many decades. Various detectors have been suggested over time that rely on textual information. However, to address the growing prevalence of phishing emails, more sophisticated techniques are required to use all aspects of emails to improve the detection capabilities of machine learning classifiers. This paper presents a novel approach to detecting phishing emails. The proposed methodology combines ensemble learning techniques with various variables, such as word frequency, the presence of specific keywords or phrases, and email length, to improve detection accuracy. We provide two approaches for the planned task; The first technique employs ensemble learning soft voting, while the second employs weighted ensemble learning. Both strategies use distinct machine learning algorithms to concurrently process the characteristics, reducing their complexity and enhancing the model’s performance. An extensive assessment and analysis are conducted, considering unique criteria designed to minimize biased and inaccurate findings. Our empirical experiments demonstrates that using ensemble learning to merge attributes in the evolution of phishing emails showcases the competitive performance of ensemble learning over other machine learning algorithms. This superiority is underscored by achieving an F1-score of 0.90 in the weighted ensemble method and 0.85 in the soft voting method, showcasing the effectiveness of this approach.
