Pandemic novel Coronavirus (Covid‐19) is an infectious disease that primarily spreads by droplets of nose discharge when sneezing and saliva from the mouth when coughing, that had first been reported in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Covid‐19 became a global pandemic, which led to a harmful impact on the world. Many predictive models of Covid‐19 are being proposed by academic researchers around the world to take the foremost decisions and enforce the appropriate control measures. Due to the lack of accurate Covid‐19 records and uncertainty, the standard techniques are being failed to correctly predict the epidemic global effects. To address this issue, we present an Artificial Intelligence (AI)‐based meta‐analysis to predict the trend of epidemic Covid‐19 over the world. The powerful machine learning algorithms namely Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Linear Regression were applied on real time‐series dataset, which holds the global record of confirmed, recovered, deaths and active cases of Covid‐19 outbreak. Statistical analysis has also been conducted to present various facts regarding Covid‐19 observed symptoms, a list of Top‐20 Coronavirus affected countries and a number of coactive cases over the world. Among the three machine learning techniques investigated, Naïve Bayes produced promising results to predict Covid‐19 future trends with less Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Squared Error (MSE). The less value of MAE and MSE strongly represent the effectiveness of the Naïve Bayes regression technique. Although, the global footprint of this pandemic is still uncertain. This study demonstrates the various trends and future growth of the global pandemic for a proactive response from the citizens and governments of countries. This paper sets the initial benchmark to demonstrate the capability of machine learning for outbreak prediction.
Honeypots act as security resources that are used to catch malign activities, so they may be anatomized and watched. During the past few years, they are called as a safeguard of assets of an organization. They are used to acquire information on interrupters in a network. This paper gives an introduction to the honeypots, their classification, detailed study of commercial as well as open source honeypots tools and comparison between them. This paper may be helpful for readers to secure their resources from intruders by using the freely available honeypots tools.
Web applications are a fundamental pillar of today's world. Society depends on them for business and day to day tasks. Because of their extensive use, web applications are under constant attack by hackers that exploit their vulnerabilities to disrupt business and access confidential information. SQL Injection and Remote File Inclusion are the two most frequently used exploits and hackers prefer easier rather than complicated attack techniques. Every day as number of internet users are increasing, the vulnerabilities of a system being attacked is becoming easier. Sql Injection is one of the most common attack method that is being used these days. Havij is one of the tools used to implement SQL Injection which will be discussed in this paper.. Our research objective is to analyse the use of Havij in penetration testing in IT industry and to compare various SQL Injection tools available in the market.
Social media materialized as an influential platform that allows people to share their views on global and local issues. Sentiment analysis can handle these massive amounts of unstructured reviews and convert them into meaningful opinions. Undoubtedly, COVID-19 originated as the enormous challenge across the world that physically and financially bruted humankind. Meanwhile, farmers' protests shook up the world against three pieces of legislation passed by the Indian government. Hence, an artificial intelligence-based sentiment model is needed for suggesting the right direction toward outbreaks. Although Deep Neural Network (DNN) gained popularity in sentiment analysis applications, these still have a limitation of sequential training, high-dimension feature space, and equal feature importance distribution. In addition, inaccurate polarity scoring and utility-based topic modeling are other challenging aspects of sentiment analysis. It motivates us to propose a Knowledge-Enriched Attention-based Hybrid Transformer (KEAHT) model by enriching the explicit knowledge of Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling and lexicalized domain ontology. A pre-trained Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformer (BERT) is employed to train within a minimum training corpus. It provides the facility of attention mechanism and can solve complex text problems accurately. A comparative study with existing baselines and recent hybrid models affirms the credibility of the proposed KEAHT in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). This model emphasizes artificial intelligence's role in handling the situation of the global pandemic and democratic dispute in a country. Furthermore, two benchmark datasets, namely “COVID-19-Vaccine-Labelled-Tweets" and "Indian-Farmer-Protest-Labelled-Tweets”, are also constructed to accommodate future researchers for outlining the essential facts associated with the outbreaks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
