Protecting Internet of things (IoT) devices against cyber attacks is imperative owing to inherent security vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities can include a spectrum of sophisticated attacks that pose significant damage to both individuals and organizations. Employing robust security measures like intrusion detection systems (IDSs) is essential to solve these problems and protect IoT systems from such attacks. In this context, our proposed IDS model consists on a combination of convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) deep learning (DL) models. This fusion facilitates the detection and classification of IoT traffic into binary categories, benign and malicious activities by leveraging the spatial feature extraction capabilities of CNN for pattern recognition and the sequential memory retention of LSTM for discerning complex temporal dependencies in achieving enhanced accuracy and efficiency. In assessing the performance of our proposed model, the authors employed the new CICIoT2023 dataset for both training and final testing, while further validating the model's performance through a conclusive testing phase utilizing the CICIDS2017 dataset. Our proposed model achieves an accuracy rate of 98.42%, accompanied by a minimal loss of 0.0275. False positive rate(FPR) is equally important, reaching 9.17% with an F1-score of 98.57%. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed CNN-LSTM IDS model in fortifying IoT environments against potential cyber threats.

Anomaly detection in sport facilities has gained significant attention due to its potential to promote energy saving and optimizing operational efficiency. In this research article, we investigate the role of machine learning, particularly deep learning, in anomaly detection for sport facilities. We explore the challenges and perspectives of utilizing deep learning methods for this task, aiming to address the drawbacks and limitations of conventional approaches. Our proposed approach involves feature extraction from the data collected in sport facilities. We present a problem formulation using Deep Feedforward Neural Networks (DFNN) and introduce threshold estimation techniques to identify anomalies effectively. Furthermore, we propose methods to reduce false alarms, ensuring the reliability and accuracy of anomaly detection. To evaluate the effectiveness of our approach, we conduct experiments on aquatic center dataset at Qatar University. The results demonstrate the superiority of our deep learning-based method over conventional techniques, highlighting its potential in real-world applications. Typically, 94.33% accuracy and 92.92% F1-score have been achieved using the proposed scheme.

Institutional bias can impact patient outcomes, educational attainment, and legal system navigation. Written records often reflect bias, and once bias is identified; it is possible to refer individuals for training to reduce bias. Many machine learning tools exist to explore text data and create predictive models that can search written records to identify real-time bias. However, few previous studies investigate large language model embeddings and geometric models of biased text data to understand geometry's impact on bias modeling accuracy. To overcome this issue, this study utilizes the RedditBias database to analyze textual biases. Four transformer models, including BERT and RoBERTa variants, were explored. Post-embedding, t-SNE allowed two-dimensional visualization of data. KNN classifiers differentiated bias types, with lower k-values proving more effective. Findings suggest BERT, particularly mini BERT, excels in bias classification, while multilingual models lag. The recommendation emphasizes refining monolingual models and exploring domain-specific biases.
