The rapid growth of cloud computing environment with many clients ranging from personal users to big corporate or business houses has become a challenge for cloud organizations to handle the massive volume of data and various resources in the cloud. Inefficient management of resources can degrade the performance of cloud computing. Therefore, resources must be evenly allocated to different stakeholders without compromising the organization’s profit as well as users’ satisfaction. A customer’s request cannot be withheld indefinitely just because the fundamental resources are not free on the board. In this paper, a combined resource allocation security with efficient task scheduling in cloud computing using a hybrid machine learning (RATS-HM) technique is proposed to overcome those problems. The proposed RATS-HM techniques are given as follows: First, an improved cat swarm optimization algorithm-based short scheduler for task scheduling (ICS-TS) minimizes the make-span time and maximizes throughput. Second, a group optimization-based deep neural network (GO-DNN) for efficient resource allocation using different design constraints includes bandwidth and resource load. Third, a lightweight authentication scheme, i.e., NSUPREME is proposed for data encryption to provide security to data storage. Finally, the proposed RATS-HM technique is simulated with a different simulation setup, and the results are compared with state-of-art techniques to prove the effectiveness. The results regarding resource utilization, energy consumption, response time, etc., show that the proposed technique is superior to the existing one.

Software testing is one in all the vital stages of system development. In software development, developers continually depend upon testing to reveal bugs. Within the maintenance stage test suite size grow due to integration of new functionalities. Addition of latest technique force to make new test case which increase the cost of test suite. In regression testing new test case could also be added to the test suite throughout the entire testing process. These additions of test cases produce risk of presence of redundant test cases. Because of limitation of time and resource, reduction techniques should be accustomed determine and take away. Analysis shows that a set of the test case in a suit should satisfy all the test objectives that is named as representative set. Redundant test case increase the execution price of the test suite, in spite of NP-completeness of the problem there are few sensible reduction techniques are available. During this paper the previous GA primarily based technique proposed is improved to search out cost optimum representative set using ant colony optimization.

Hate speech on social media may spread quickly through online users and subsequently, may even escalate into local vile violence and heinous crimes. This paper proposes a hate speech detection model by means of machine learning and text mining feature extraction techniques. In this study, the authors collected the hate speech of English-Odia code mixed data from a Facebook public page and manually organized them into three classes. In order to build binary and ternary datasets, the data are further converted into binary classes. The modeling of hate speech employs the combination of a machine learning algorithm and features extraction. Support vector machine (SVM), naïve Bayes (NB) and random forest (RF) models were trained using the whole dataset, with the extracted feature based on word unigram, bigram, trigram, combined n-grams, term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF), combined n-grams weighted by TF-IDF and word2vec for both the datasets. Using the two datasets, we developed two kinds of models with each feature—binary models and ternary models. The models based on SVM with word2vec achieved better performance than the NB and RF models for both the binary and ternary categories. The result reveals that the ternary models achieved less confusion between hate and non-hate speech than the binary models.

In most developing countries, the contribution of agriculture to gross domestic product is significant. Plant disease is one of the major factors that adversely affect crop yield. Traditional plant disease detection techniques are time-consuming, biased, and ineffective. Potato is among the top consumed plants in the world, in general, and in developing countries, in particular. However, potato is affected by different kinds of diseases which minimize their yield and quantity. The advancement in AI and machine learning has paved the way for new methods of tackling plant disease detection. This study presents a comprehensive systematic literature review on the major diseases that harm potato crops. In this effort, computer vision-based techniques are employed to identify potato diseases, and types of machine learning algorithms used are surveyed. In this review, 39 primary studies that have provided useful information about the research questions are chosen. Accordingly, the most common potato diseases are found to be late blight, early blight, and bacterial wilt. Furthermore, the review discovered that deep learning algorithms were more frequently used to detect crop diseases than classical machine learning algorithms. Finally, the review categorized the state-of-the-art algorithms and identifies open research problems in the area.
