Epilepsy is one of the widespread disorders. It is a noncommunicable disease that affects the human nerve system. Seizures are abnormal patterns of behavior in the electricity of the brain which produce symptoms like losing consciousness, attention or convulsions in the whole body. This paper demonstrates an effective electroencephalogram (EEG) based seizure detection method using discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) for signal decomposition to extract features. An automatic channel selection method was proposed by the researcher to select the best channel from 23 channels based on maximum variance value. The records were segmented into a nonoverlapping segment with long 1-S. The support vector machine (SVM) model was used to automatically detect segments that contain seizures, using both frequency and time domain statistical moment features. The experimental result was obtained from 24 patients in CHB-MIT database. The average accuracy is 94.1, sensitivity is 93.5, specificity is 94.6 and the false positive rate average is 0.054.
The exponential growth of android contrivances has attracted cybercriminals strongly and dramatically. The applications existed in the android market represented an attack surface owing to the lack of security mechanisms applied by the Google play store. Additionally, downloading apps from unofficial sources lead to a further security threat. Any mobile application requests several permissions to access users’ data to run the app. Thus, attackers exploited this feature in compromising users’ sensitive data. This motivated several researchers to investigate security mechanisms to detect Android malware based on this feature utilizing machine learning techniques, particularly classification techniques. However, This research proposes a permission-based android malware detection framework using a clustering algorithm. Further motivation for this research is that large datasets labeling is a tough mission. Therefore, Our work will contribute to android malware detection as well as android apps datasets labeling. PAM (Partitioning Around Medoid) clustering has been exploited for this purpose since its less affected by outliers or other extreme values. The most significant features have been selected as an input to the clustering algorithm to enhance its results. The results depicted that our clustering algorithm was able from grouping our dataset into two categories malevolent and genuine apps. Moreover, our result has been validated by evaluation standard F-Measure, which is counting for 0.86 for 40 attributes subset, while it is 0.88 for 30 features subset. This reveals a good performance level of permission-based android malware detection and android applications datasets labeling into malware and good ware.
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.
