Modern connected vehicles face increased cyber threats due to expanded IoVattack surfaces. Robust intrusion detection systems are essential to counter vulnerabilities from weak authentication and encryption. Traditional methods are inadequate, therefore, an advanced real-time intrusion detection system (IDS) is needed to detect and mitigate evolving cyber-attacks in connected vehicles. To overcome these complications, optimized PRNN-ENet for robust IDS in IoV networks (IDS-PRNN-ENet-IoV) is proposed. The input data is collected from car hacking dataset. The gathered dataare provided to the preprocessing phase. Here, fast guided median filter is used to normalize the data. Afterward, the pre-processed data are fed into the physically recurrent neural network (PRNN) with EfficientCovNet (PRNN-ENet),which classifies and detects the intrusion asnormal, DoS, fuzzy, gear spoofing and RPM spoofing. Finally, a bitterling fish optimization algorithm is employed to optimize the weight parameters of PRNN-ENet. The IDS-PRNN-ENet-IoV technique is executed in Python and the metrics like accuracy, recall, f1-score is examined. The proposed IDS-PRNN-ENet-IoV achieves 6.14
This paper presents AuthenRate, a multimodal mis-information detection framework that combines zero-shot text classification, visual analysis, reverse image search, and fact-checking APIs. The system employs facebook/bart-large-mnli for zero-shot classification with a novel Soft Logic scoring method to prevent misclassification of opinion pieces, CLIP ViT-B/32 for visual content analysis with a Meme Override Rule, Google Cloud Vision for reverse image search, and Google Fact Check Tools API for claim verification. Deployed as an Android application with Python Flask backend, the system achieves real-time misinformation detection with execution time of 2-4 seconds while maintaining high accuracy across text, images, and multimodal content.
In this paper, we are suggesting an Explainable Deep Neural Network (DNN) pipeline to identify cyber threats in real-time with the help of Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) to understand the models. The field of cybersecurity is crucial, and the timely and proper identification of threats cannot be considered an exception. The deep neural networks prove to be very effective at determining the presence of intricate patterns in data; however, its black-box characteristics make it hard to trust and understand. To solve this, we add SHAP to the DNN pipeline in order to understand model prediction clearly. SHAP provides a value of each feature that reflects its input in the output of the model, which makes the process of decision-making transparent. The suggested solution will utilize real-time network traffic data and feed it through the DNN to classify the possible threats and SHAP to explain why a particular action or a detection took place. The findings show that such an approach does not just provide a good way of detecting cyber threats but also gives the required interpretability to enable system administrators to know and trust the decisions of the model.
This paper presents a real-time thermal face detection and recognition system based on an enhanced Multi-task Cascaded Convolutional Neural Network (MTCNN) framework. Unlike visible-light methods, thermal imaging introduces domain-specific challenges such as low spatial resolution, high noise, and intensity variance due to temperature fluctuations. To address these, we propose a dedicated preprocessing pipeline including normalization, contrast enhancement, and channel replication to adapt single-channel thermal images for CNN-based processing. The modified MTCNN is fine-tuned on thermal datasets to accurately detect facial regions and landmarks. Aligned faces are then processed through a thermal-optimized feature embedding network trained with triplet loss to produce identity-preserving descriptors. Recognition is performed using a lightweight classifier over the feature space. The system is optimized for real-time performance using GPU acceleration and quantized inference. Experimental results on publicly available thermal face datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in terms of detection accuracy, recognition rate, and processing speed, making it suitable for surveillance and biometric applications under low-light or no-light conditions.
A completely novel method of harnessing wind energy is employed by bladeless wind turbines. The vortex-shedding phenomenon, an aerodynamic feature that has long troubled structural engineers and architects, it is captured using a gadget. The wind’s flow alters as it passes by a permanent object, creating a cyclical vortex pattern. When these forces get sufficiently powerful, the stationary structure begins to oscillate, may even collapse as it enters resonance with the wind’s lateral forces. The Tacoma Narrows Bridge is a well-known academic example that collapsed 3 months after it was opened due to the effects of galloping and flattering as well as the vortex-shedding effect. The goal of the Spanish SME Vortex Bladeless is to create the vortex or vorticity wind turbine, a novel idea for a wind turbine without blades. With the goal of removing or reducing many of the current issues with traditional generators, this design offers a new paradigm in wind energy.
