Abstract

With the advancement of technology, cybercrimes are surging at an alarming rate as miscreants pour into the world's modern reliance on the virtual platform. Due to the accumulation of an enormous quantity of cybercrime data, there is huge potential to analyze and segregate the data with the help of Machine Learning. The focus of this research is to construct a model, Ensem_SLDR which can predict the relevant sections of IT Act 2000 from the compliant text/subjects with the aid of Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, and Ensemble Learning methods. The objective of this paper is to implement a robust technique to categorize cybercrime into two sections, 66 and 67 of IT Act 2000 with high precision using ensemble learning technique. In the proposed methodology, Bag of Words approach is applied for performing feature engineering where these features are given as input to the hybrid model Ensem_SLDR. The proposed model is implemented with the help of model stacking, comprising Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, and Random Forest and gave better performance by having 96.55 % accuracy, which is higher and reliable than the past models implemented using a single learning algorithm and some of the existing hybrid models. Ensemble learning techniques enhance model performance and robustness. This research is beneficial for cyber-crime cells in India, which have a repository of detailed information on cybercrime including complaints and investigations. Hence, there is a need for model and automation systems empowered by artificial intelligence technologies for the analysis of cybercrime and their classification of its sections.
