The rapid growth and adaptation of medical information to identify significant health trends and help with timely preventive care have been recent hallmarks of the modern healthcare data system. Heart disease is the deadliest condition in the developed world. Cardiovascular disease and its complications, including dementia, can be averted with early detection. Further research in this area is needed to prevent strokes and heart attacks. An optimal machine learning model can help achieve this goal with a wealth of healthcare data on heart disease. Heart disease can be predicted and diagnosed using machine-learning-based systems. Active learning (AL) methods improve classification quality by incorporating user–expert feedback with sparsely labelled data. In this paper, five (MMC, Random, Adaptive, QUIRE, and AUDI) selection strategies for multi-label active learning were applied and used for reducing labelling costs by iteratively selecting the most relevant data to query their labels. The selection methods with a label ranking classifier have hyperparameters optimized by a grid search to implement predictive modelling in each scenario for the heart disease dataset. Experimental evaluation includes accuracy and F-score with/without hyperparameter optimization. Results show that the generalization of the learning model beyond the existing data for the optimized label ranking model uses the selection method versus others due to accuracy. However, the selection method was highlighted in regards to the F-score using optimized settings.

Although there are many attempts to build an optimal model for feature selection in Big Data applications, the complex nature of processing such kind of data makes it still a big challenge. Accordingly, the data mining process may be obstructed due to the high dimensionality and complexity of huge data sets. For the most informative features and classification accuracy optimization, the feature selection process constitutes a mandatory pre-processing phase to reduce dataset dimensionality. The exhaustive search for the relevant features is time-consuming. In this paper, a new binary variant of the wrapper feature selection grey wolf optimization and particle swarm optimization is proposed. The K-nearest neighbor classifier with Euclidean separation matrices is used to find the optimal solutions. A tent chaotic map helps in avoiding the algorithm from locked to the local optima problem. The sigmoid function employed for converting the search space from a continuous vector to a binary one to be suitable to the problem of feature selection. Cross-validation K-fold is used to overcome the overfitting issue. A variety of comparisons have been made with well-known and common algorithms, such as the particle swarm optimization algorithm, and the grey wolf optimization algorithm. Twenty datasets are used for the experiments, and statistical analyses are conducted to approve the performance and the effectiveness and of the proposed model with measures like selected features ratio, classification accuracy, and computation time. The cumulative features picked through the twenty datasets were 196 out of 773, as opposed to 393 and 336 in the GWO and the PSO, respectively. The overall accuracy is 90% relative to other algorithms' 81.6 and 86.8. The total processing time for all datasets equals 184.3 seconds, wherein GWO and PSO equal 272 and 245.6, respectively.

Throughout recent years, the progress of telemonitoring and telediagnostics devices for evaluating and tracking Parkinson’s (PD) disease has become increasingly important. The early detection of PD increases the consistency of the treatment of patients and ultimately allows it possible to achieve a rapid diagnostic decision from an experienced clinician. In this paper, a proposed fog-based ANFIS+PSOGWO model provided for Parkinson’s disease prediction. The proposed model exploits the advantages of the grey wolf optimization (GWO) and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) for adjusting the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) parameters with the use of chaotic tent map for the initialization. The fog processing utilized for gathering and analyzing the data at the edge of the gateways and notifying the local community instantly. Compared to other optimization methods, many evaluation metrics used like the root mean square error (RMSE), the mean square error (MSE), the standard deviation (SD), and the accuracy and five standard datasets from repository of UCI machine learning that demonstrated the superiority of the model proposed against the grey wolf optimization (GWO), the particle swarm optimization (PSO), the differential evolution (DE), the genetic algorithm (GA), the ant colony optimization (ACO), and the standard ANFIS model. Moreover, the proposed ANFIS+PSOGWO applied for Parkinson’s disease prediction and achieved an accuracy of 87.5%. The proposed ANFIS+PSOGWO compared in producing positive outcomes better than PSO, GWO, GA, ACO, DE, and some recent literature for Parkinson’s disease prediction. The proposed model produced accuracy for the Parkinson’s disease prediction has outperformed its closest competitors in all algorithms by 7.3%.

Due to the growing number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, network attacks like denial of service (DoS) and floods are rising for security and reliability issues. As a result of these attacks, IoT devices suffer from denial of service and network disruption. Researchers have implemented different techniques to identify attacks aimed at vulnerable Internet of Things (IoT) devices. In this study, we propose a novel features selection algorithm FGOA-kNN based on a hybrid filter and wrapper selection approaches to select the most relevant features. The novel approach integrated with clustering rank the features and then applies the Grasshopper algorithm (GOA) to minimize the top-ranked features. Moreover, a proposed algorithm, IHHO, selects and adapts the neural network’s hyper parameters to detect botnets efficiently. The proposed Harris Hawks algorithm is enhanced with three improvements to improve the global search process for optimal solutions. To tackle the problem of population diversity, a chaotic map function is utilized for initialization. The escape energy of hawks is updated with a new nonlinear formula to avoid the local minima and better balance between exploration and exploitation. Furthermore, the exploitation phase of HHO is enhanced using a new elite operator ROBL. The proposed model combines unsupervised, clustering, and supervised approaches to detect intrusion behaviors. The N-BaIoT dataset is utilized to validate the proposed model. Many recent techniques were used to assess and compare the proposed model’s performance. The result demonstrates that the proposed model is better than other variations at detecting multiclass botnet attacks.

Vehicular adhoc network (VANET) plays a vital role in smart transportation. VANET includes a set of vehicles that communicate with one another via wireless links. The vehicular communication in VANET necessitates an intelligent clustering protocol to maximize energy efficiency. Since energy acts as an essential factor in the design of VANET, energy-aware clustering protocols depending upon metaheuristic optimization algorithms are required to be developed. This study introduces an intelligent energy-aware oppositional chaos game optimization-based clustering (IEAOCGO-C) protocol for VANET. The presented IEAOCGO-C technique aims to select cluster heads (CHs) in the network proficiently. The proposed IEAOCGO-C model constructs clusters based on oppositional-based learning (OBL) with the chaos game optimization (CGO) algorithm to improve efficiency. Besides, it computes a fitness function involving five parameters, namely throughput (THRPT), packet delivery ratio (PDR), network lifetime (NLT), end to end delay (ETED) and energy consumption (ECM). The experimental validation of the proposed model is accomplished, and the outcomes are studied in numerous aspects with existing models under several vehicles and measures. The simulation outcomes reported the enhanced performance of the proposed approach over the recent technologies. As a result, it has resulted in maximal NLT (4480), minimal ECM (65.6), maximal THRPT (81.6), maximal PDR (84.5), and minimal ETED (6.7) as average values over the other methods under all vehicle numbers.
