Technology and the rapid growth in the area of brain imaging technologies have forever made for a pivotal role in analyzing and focusing the new views of the brain anatomy and functions. The mechanism of image processing has a widespread usage in the area of medical science for improving the early detection and treatment phases. Deep Neural Network (DNN), till date have demonstrated a wonderful performance in classification and segmentation task. Carrying this idea into consideration, in this paper a technique for image compression using a Deep Wavelet Autoencoder (DWA), which blends the basic feature reduction property of autoencoder along with image decomposition property of wavelet transform is proposed. The combination of both has a tremendous effect on sinking the size of the feature set for enduring further classification task by using DNN. A brain image dataset was taken and the proposed DWA-DNN image classifier was considered. The performance criterion for the DWA-DNN classifier was compared with other existing classifiers like Autoencoder-DNN or DNN, and it was noted that the proposed method outshines the existing methods.

In every aspect of human life, sound plays an important role. From personal security to critical surveillance, sound is a key element to develop the automated systems for these fields. Few systems are already in the market, but their efficiency is a point of concern for their implementation in real-life scenarios. The learning capabilities of the deep learning architectures can be used to develop the sound classification systems to overcome efficiency issues of the traditional systems. Our aim, in this paper, is to use the deep learning networks for classifying the environmental sounds based on the generated spectrograms of these sounds. We used the spectrogram images of environmental sounds to train the convolutional neural network (CNN) and the tensor deep stacking network (TDSN). We used two datasets for our experiment: ESC-10 and ESC-50. Both systems were trained on these datasets, and the achieved accuracy was 77% and 49% in CNN and 56% in TDSN trained on the ESC-10. From this experiment, it is concluded that the proposed approach for sound classification using the spectrogram images of sounds can be efficiently used to develop the sound classification and recognition systems.

At present times, the real-time requirement on the multiaccess healthcare monitoring system, information mining, and efficient disease diagnosis of health conditions is a difficult process. The recent advances in information technology and the internet of medical things (IoMT) have fostered extensive utilization of the smart system. A complex, 24/7 healthcare service is needed for effective and trustworthy monitoring of patients on a daily basis. To accomplish this need, edge computing and cloud platforms are highly required to satisfy the requirements of smart healthcare systems. This paper presents a new effective training scheme for the deep neural network (DNN), called ETS-DNN model in edge computing enabled IoMT system. The proposed ETS-DNN intends to facilitate timely data collection and processing to make timely decisions using the patterns that exist in the data. Initially, the IoMT devices sense the patient's data and transfer the captured data to edge computing, which executes the ETS-DNN model to diagnose it. The proposed ETS-DNN model incorporates a Hybrid Modified Water Wave Optimization (HMWWO) technique to tune the parameters of the DNN structure, which comprises of several autoencoder layers cascaded to a softmax (SM) layer. The SM classification layer is placed at the end of the DNN to perform the classification task. The HMWWO algorithm integrates the MWWO technique with limited memory Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shannon (L-BFGS). Once the ETS-DNN model generates the report in edge computing, then it will be sent to the cloud server, which is then forwarded to the healthcare professionals, hospital database, and concerned patients. The proposed ETS-DNN model intends to facilitate timely data collection and processing to identify the patterns exist in the data. An extensive set of experimental analysis takes place and the results are investigated under several aspects. The simulation outcome pointed out the superior characteristics of the ETS-DNN mode...

The explosive rise of intelligent devices with ubiquitous connectivity have dramatically increased Internet of Things (IoT) traffic in the cloud environment and created potential attack surfaces for cyber-attacks. Traditional security approaches are insufficient and inefficient to address security threats in cloud-based IoT networks. In this vein, software defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), and machine learning techniques introduce numerous advantages that can effectively resolve cybersecurity matters for cloud-based IoT systems. In this paper, we propose a collaborative and intelligent network-based intrusion detection system (NIDS) architecture, namely SeArch for SDN-based cloud IoT networks. It composes a hierarchical layer of intelligent IDS nodes working in collaboration to detect anomalies and formulate policy into the SDN-based IoT gateway devices to stop malicious traffic as fast as possible. We first describe a new NIDS architecture with a comprehensive analysis in terms of the system resource and path selection optimizations. Next, the system process logic is extensively investigated through main consecutive procedures, including initialization, runtime operation, and database update. Afterward, we conduct a detailed implementation of the proposed solution in an SDN-based environment and perform a variety of experiments. Finally, evaluation results of the SeArch architecture yield outstanding performance in anomaly detection and mitigation as well as bottleneck problem handling in the SDN-based cloud IoT networks in comparison with existing solutions.

Wireless technology and the latest developments in a mobile object, has led to a Mobile Ad Hoc network (MANET), which is a collection of mobile nodes that are communicating with each other without requiring any fixed infrastructure. Due to the dynamic nature with a decentralized system, these networks are susceptible to different attacks such as Black Hole Attack (BHA), Gray Hole Attack (GHA), Sink Hole Attack (SHA) and many more. Several researchers have worked for the detection and mitigation of individual attacks, either GHA or BHA nodes. But the protection of MANET against a dual-threat is scarce. In this paper, the protection against dual attacks has been presented for BHA and GHA by using the concept of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) as a deep learning algorithm along with the swarm-based Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) optimization technique. The performance of the system has been increased by the selection of appropriate and best nodes for data packets transmission which is explained in the result section of this paper. For the network designing and simulation purposes, MATLAB software is used with communication and neural network toolboxes. The examined results show that the presented protocol performs better in contrast to the existing work under black hole as well as gray hole attack condition. A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes that dynamically form a temporary network without using any existing network infrastructure.
