    Deep Learning Based Fall Detection Using Smartwatches for Healthcare Applications
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Sengul, Gokhan; Karakaya, Murat; Misra, Sanjay; Abayomi-Alli, Olusola O.; Damasevicius, Robertas
    We implement a smart watch-based system to predict fall detection. We differentiate fall detection from four common daily activities: sitting, squatting, running, and walking. Moreover, we separate falling into falling from a chair and falling from a standing position. We develop a mobile application that collects the acceleration and gyroscope sensor data and transfers them to the cloud. In the cloud, we implement a deep learning algorithm to classify the activity according to the given classes. To increase the number of data samples available for training, we use the Bica cubic Hermite interpolation, which allows us to improve the accuracy of the neural network. The 38 statistical data features were calculated using the rolling update approach and used as input to the classifier. For activity classification, we have adopted the bi-directional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) neural network. The results demonstrate that our system can detect falling with an accuracy of 99.59% (using leave-one-activityout cross-validation) and 97.35% (using leave-one-subject-out cross-validation) considering all activities. When considering only binary classification (falling vs. all other activities), perfect accuracy is achieved.

    (Mdpi, 2019) Azeez, Nureni Ayofe; Ayemobola, Tolulope Jide; Misra, Sanjay; Maskeliunas, Rytis; Damasevicius, Robertas
    Ubiquitous nature of Internet services across the globe has undoubtedly expanded the strategies and operational mode being used by cybercriminals to perpetrate their unlawful activities through intrusion on various networks. Network intrusion has led to many global financial loses and privacy problems for Internet users across the globe. In order to safeguard the network and to prevent Internet users from being the regular victims of cyber-criminal activities, new solutions are needed. This research proposes solution for intrusion detection by using the improved hashing-based Apriori algorithm implemented on Hadoop MapReduce framework; capable of using association rules in mining algorithm for identifying and detecting network intrusions. We used the KDD dataset to evaluate the effectiveness and reliability of the solution. Our results obtained show that this approach provides a reliable and effective means of detecting network intrusion.

    A Suite of Object Oriented Cognitive Complexity Metrics
    (Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2018) Misra, Sanjay; Adewumi, Adewole; Fernandez-Sanz, Luis; Damasevicius, Robertas
    Object orientation has gained a wide adoption in the software development community. To this end, different metrics that can be utilized in measuring and improving the quality of object-oriented (OO) software have been proposed, by providing insight into the maintainability and reliability of the system. Some of these software metrics are based on cognitive weight and are referred to as cognitive complexity metrics. It is our objective in this paper to present a suite of cognitive complexity metrics that can be used to evaluate OO software projects. The present suite of metrics includes method complexity, message complexity, attribute complexity, weighted class complexity, and code complexity. The metrics suite was evaluated theoretically using measurement theory and Weyuker's properties, practically using Kaner's framework and empirically using thirty projects.

    Fusion of Smartphone Sensor Data for Classification of Daily User Activities
    (Springer, 2021) Sengul, Gokhan; Ozcelik, Erol; Misra, Sanjay; Damasevicius, Robertas; Maskeliunas, Rytis
    New mobile applications need to estimate user activities by using sensor data provided by smart wearable devices and deliver context-aware solutions to users living in smart environments. We propose a novel hybrid data fusion method to estimate three types of daily user activities (being in a meeting, walking, and driving with a motorized vehicle) using the accelerometer and gyroscope data acquired from a smart watch using a mobile phone. The approach is based on the matrix time series method for feature fusion, and the modified Better-than-the-Best Fusion (BB-Fus) method with a stochastic gradient descent algorithm for construction of optimal decision trees for classification. For the estimation of user activities, we adopted a statistical pattern recognition approach and used the k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers. We acquired and used our own dataset of 354 min of data from 20 subjects for this study. We report a classification performance of 98.32 % for SVM and 97.42 % for kNN.

    Reconstruction of 3d Object Shape Using Hybrid Modular Neural Network Architecture Trained on 3d Models From Shapenetcore Dataset
    (Mdpi, 2019) Kulikajevas, Audrius; Maskeliunas, Rytis; Damasevicius, Robertas; Misra, Sanjay
    Depth-based reconstruction of three-dimensional (3D) shape of objects is one of core problems in computer vision with a lot of commercial applications. However, the 3D scanning for point cloud-based video streaming is expensive and is generally unattainable to an average user due to required setup of multiple depth sensors. We propose a novel hybrid modular artificial neural network (ANN) architecture, which can reconstruct smooth polygonal meshes from a single depth frame, using a priori knowledge. The architecture of neural network consists of separate nodes for recognition of object type and reconstruction thus allowing for easy retraining and extension for new object types. We performed recognition of nine real-world objects using the neural network trained on the ShapeNetCore model dataset. The results evaluated quantitatively using the Intersection-over-Union (IoU), Completeness, Correctness and Quality metrics, and qualitative evaluation by visual inspection demonstrate the robustness of the proposed architecture with respect to different viewing angles and illumination conditions.

    Hybrid Microgrid for Microfinance Institutions in Rural Areas - a Field Demonstration in West Africa
    (Elsevier, 2019) Ayodele, Esan; Misra, Sanjay; Damasevicius, Robertas; Maskeliunas, Rytis
    We present a hybrid energy microgrid optimization model for a microbank in a remote rural residential area. The model is based on the use of renewable (wind turbines & solar photovoltaic (PV)) and conventional (gasoline generators) energy sources and battery storage systems. We conducted a detailed assessment of a typical microbank's load, residential loads and energy resources in a village called Ajasse-Ipo in Kwara State, Nigeria. We performed the modeling of a hybrid microgrid system, followed by an economic analysis and sensitivity analysis to optimize the hybrid system design. We performed simulations based on the energy resources available (solar PV, wind, gasoline generator & battery energy storage system) to satisfy the energy demands of the microbank, while the excess energy was supplied to meet the demand of the community loads, i.e. water pumping machine and rural home lighting. The results obtained showed that the hybrid system comprising the solar PV/battery/diesel was most techno-economically viable with a Net Present Cost (NPC) and Cost of Energy (COE) of $468,914 and 0.667$/kWh, respectively. Comparing these results with those obtained using analytical methods, the solar PV, battery and converter sizes obtained were slightly higher than the optimal system configurations as produced by HOMER. The proposed hybrid energy system also allowed to achieve almost 50% reductions in CO2, CO, unburned hydrocarbons, particulate matter, SO2 & NO2. The system can be applicable for other rural regions in the developing countries with similar environmental conditions.

    Co-Lstm: Convolutional Lstm Model for Sentiment Analysis in Social Big Data
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021) Behera, Ranjan Kumar; Jena, Monalisa; Rath, Santanu Kumar; Misra, Sanjay
    Analysis of consumer reviews posted on social media is found to be essential for several business applications. Consumer reviews posted in social media are increasing at an exponential rate both in terms of number and relevance, which leads to big data. In this paper, a hybrid approach of two deep learning architectures namely Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) (RNN with memory) is suggested for sentiment classification of reviews posted at diverse domains. Deep convolutional networks have been highly effective in local feature selection, while recurrent networks (LSTM) often yield good results in the sequential analysis of a long text. The proposed Co-LSTM model is mainly aimed at two objectives in sentiment analysis. First, it is highly adaptable in examining big social data, keeping scalability in mind, and secondly, unlike the conventional machine learning approaches, it is free from any particular domain. The experiment has been carried out on four review datasets from diverse domains to train the model which can handle all kinds of dependencies that usually arises in a post. The experimental results show that the proposed ensemble model outperforms other machine learning approaches in terms of accuracy and other parameters.

    Outdoor Path Loss Predictions Based on Extreme Learning Machine
    (Springer, 2018) Popoola, Segun I.; Misra, Sanjay; Atayero, Aderemi A.
    In a typical outdoor environment, the propagation of radio waves is usually random in nature, to the extent that the characterization of the wireless channel often becomes very difficult. Several models have been developed to predict the average Received Signal Strength (RSS) for specified distance ranges. However, the use of deterministic models requires high computational efficiency while the prediction results of empirical models may not be as accurate as required. On machine learning approach, the performances of multi-layered feed-forward network models are limited by slow convergence and local minimum, such that a global optimal solution is not guaranteed. In this paper, Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) algorithm is considered in the development of an optimal path loss prediction model for outdoor propagation scenario. Single Hidden Layer Feed-forward Neural Networks (SHLFNNs) are trained and tested with the path loss data that were computed based on the RSS data of a commercial 1800 MHz base station located along Lagos-Badagry highway in Nigeria. The training speed, learning effectiveness, and the generalization ability of Artificial Neural Network Back-Propagation (ANN-BP) and ELM algorithms are analysed. Experimental results show that ELM models are 140 times faster to train than the ANN-BP models. On prediction accuracy, the outputs of ELM, ANN-BP, Okumura-Hata, and COST-231 models have Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) values of 2.896, 2.449, 7.456, and 6.116 dB respectively; and regression coefficient (R) values of 0.959, 0.973, 0.935, and 0.935 respectively, when compared to the target variable of the training dataset. When the models were tested with new input data that were excluded from the training process, RMSE values of 4.250, 6.622, 8.732, and 7.087 respectively; and R values of 0.893, 0.876, 0.904, and 0.904 respectively are obtained. In conclusion, the findings of this study confirm that ELM algorithm guarantees an optimal path loss model with fast training convergence, high prediction accuracy, and good generalization ability for radio network planning and optimization in outdoor environments.

    Measuring the Reusable Quality for Xml Schema Documents
    (Budapest Tech, 2013) Thaw, Tinzar; Misra, Sanjay
    eXtensible Markup Language (XML) based web applications are widely used for data describing and providing internet services. The design of XML schema document (XSD) needs to be quantified with software with the reusable nature of XSD. This nature of documents helps software developers to produce software at a lower software development cost. This paper proposes a metric Entropy. Measure of Complexity (EMC), which is intended to measure the reusable quality of XML schema documents. A higher EMC value tends to more reusable quality, and as well, a higher EMC value implies that this schema document contains inheritance feature, elements and attributes. For empirical validation, the metric is applied on 70 WSDL schema files. A comparison with similar measures is also performed. The proposed EMC metric is also validated practically and theoretically. Empirical, theoretical and practical validation and a comparative study proves that the EMC metric is a valid metric and capable of measuring the reusable quality of XSD.
