This paper analyses the impact of current trend in applying machine learning in detection of vandalism, with the specific aim of analyzing the impact of the class imbalance in Wikipedia articles. The class imbalance problem has the effect that almost all the examples are labelled as one class (legitimate editing); while far fewer examples are…

The cybercriminal utilized the skills and freely available tools to breach the networks of internet-connected devices by exploiting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Network anomaly detection is crucial for ensuring the security of information resources. Detecting abnormal network behavior poses challenges because of the extensive data, imbalanced attack class nature, and the abundance of features in…

Hypertensive or high blood pressure is a medical condition that can be driven by several factors. These factors or variables are needed to build a classification model of the hypertension dataset. In the construction of classification models, class imbalance problems are often found due to oversampling. This research aims to obtain the best classification model…

The rapid growth of Internet of things (IoT) devices have heightened the need for effective Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to combat evolving cyber threats. The IoT networks has the security challenges due to the heterogeneous and high-dimensional nature of network traffic data, redundant features, and class imbalance which hinder detection accuracy and efficiency. Effective IDS…

The proliferation of internet economies has given the corporate world manifold advantages to businesses, as they can now incorporate the latest innovations into their operations, thereby enhancing ease of doing business.
