The successful prediction of the stocks’ future price would produce substantial profit to the investor. In this paper, we propose a framework with the help of various technical indicators of the stock market to predict the future prices of the stock using Recurrent Neural Network based Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm. The historical transactional data set is amalgamated with the technical indicators to create a more effective input dataset. The historical data is taken from 2010-2019 ten years in total. The dataset is divided into 80% training set and 20% test set. The experiment is carried out in two phases first without the technical indicators and after adding technical indicators. In the experimental setup, it has been observed the LSTM with technical indicators have significantly reduced the error value by 2.42% and improved the overall performance of the system as compared to other machine learning frameworks that are not accounting the effect of technical indicators.
Handwritten signatures have been widely acclaimed for personal identification viability in educated human society. But, the astronomical growth of population in recent years warrant developing mechanized systems to remove the tedium and bias associated with manual checking. Here the proposed system, performing identification with Nearest Neighbor matching between offline signature images collected temporally. The raw images and their extracted features are preserved using Case Based Reasoning and Feature Engineering principles. Image patterns are captured through standard global and local features, along with some profitable indigenously developed features. Outlier feature values, on detection, are automatically replaced by their nearest statistically determined limit values. Search space reduction possibilities within the case base are probed on a few selected key features, applying Hierarchical clustering and Dendogram representation. Signature identification accuracy is found promising when compared with other machine learning techniques and a few existing well known approaches.
Information security dominate the world. All the time we connect to the internet for social media, banking, and online shopping through various applications. Our priceless data may be hacked by attackers. There is a necessity for a better encryption method to enhance information security. The distinctive features of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) in particular the key atomity, speedy ciphering and preserving bandwidth captivating its use in multimedia encipher. An encryption method is proposed by incorporating ECC, Secure Hash Algorithm – 256 (SHA-256), Arnold transform, and hyperchaos. Randomly generated salt values are concatenated with each pixel of an image. SHA-256 hash is imposed which produces a hash value of 32-bit, later used to generate the key in ECC. Stronger ciphering is done by applying Arnold’s transformation and hyperchaos thereby achieved more randomness in image. Simulation outcomes and analysis show that the proposed approach provides more confidentiality for color images.
Software evolution is mandatory to keep it useful and functional. However, the quality of the evolving software may degrade due to improper incorporation of changes. Quality can be monitored by analyzing the trends of software metrics extracted from source code as these metrics represent the structural characteristics of a software such as size, coupling, inheritance etc. An analysis of these metric trends will give insight to software practitioners regarding effects of software evolution on its internal structure. Thus, this study analyzes the trends of 14 object-oriented (OO) metrics in a widely used mobile operating system software, Android. The study groups the OO metrics into four dimensions and analyzes the trends of these metrics over five versions of Android software (4.0.2-4.3.1). The results of the study indicate certain interesting patterns for the evaluated dimensions, which can be helpful to software practitioners for outlining specific maintenance decisions to improve software quality.
The dialectical Arabic and the Modern Standard Arabic lacks sufficient standardized language resources to enable the tasks of Arabic language processing, despite it being an active research area. This work addresses this issue by firstly highlighting the steps and the issues related to building a multi Arabic dialect corpus using web data from blogs and social media platforms (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, etc.). This is to create a vectorized dictionary for the crawled data using the word Embeddings. In other terms, the goal of this article is to build an updated multi-dialect data set, and then, to extract an annotated corpus from it.
