The financial sector is grappling with significant challenges in detecting cyber attacks, leading to potential short- and long-term financial losses for banks and other institutions. The statistical and machine learning methods have been effective in identifying suspicious activities, they have struggled to achieve a balance between recall and precision. To improve accuracy, this paper introduces a novel approach that employs deep learning and bio-inspired algorithms to detect suspicious activities. The proposed model analyzes transactional patterns, quantities, and temporal aspects using a carefully curated dataset of labeled transactions. The model shows promising results in distinguishing between legitimate and fraudulent operations, achieving a balance between recall and precision. Further, many in the industry are transitioning to cloud computing infrastructures to enhance application performance. However, these infrastructures are not ideal for delay-sensitive applications, such as those in the medical and finance sectors. To address communication delays, fog computing has emerged as a new paradigm. The proposed model was simulated using Python and the Google Colab framework, and experimental results shows that improved accuracy and a balanced recall and precision.

A useful electrical energy consumption prediction scheme could help users estimate their monthly electricity bills and the use of new electrical appliances in their homes. Traditional energy consumption prediction methods are time-consuming and necessitate expert assistance to analyze and calculate energy use over time. The limitations of the existing works are that the existing literature does not accurately predict monthly energy consumption and costs using machine learning. They concentrated on electrical energy consumption over a short period of time in a single building, using seasonal data rather than automating the system for repeated use. To address these issues, this paper proposes machine learning-based automation systems that predict monthly energy consumption, estimate costs, and identify relevant features using data from electrical home appliances in Bangladesh. Several regression models, including Random Forest, Decision Tree, XGBoost, Boosting, and LightGBM Regressor, are tested to find the best prediction model. We have performed dataset collection, dataset cleaning, feature extraction, scaling, normalization, hyper parameter tuning, training, testing, and model selection activities. The simulation results clearly indicated that the Random Forest regressor model performed better than the other models, with higher R squared values and lower error values. The comparison results revealed that the proposed random forest regression model outperforms previous works by at least 4% in accuracy and 7% in mean absolute error. The proposed mobile application helps users make informed decisions by calculating energy consumption for new home appliances, making recommendations, delivering updated news from the power board, and providing required guidelines. The mobile application feature evaluation results revealed that our proposed application received an excellent rating from more than 70% of customers.

In aquaculture, precision agriculture can significantly improve fish farming practices through precise monitoring and data-driven decision-making, addressing challenges such as optimizing resource usage and improving fish health. This paper presents the development and implementation of an IoT-based Fish Recommendation System designed to optimize aquaculture practices through a mobile application. This system uses different sensors for extracting data continuously regarding temperature, PH and Turbidity etc. These parameters can be analysed in real-time to help fish farmers make decisions on when or how much the system should feed and aerate, and what approach of water treatment is best for their fishes. This information is stored to create individual datasets, offering researchers valuable insights into optimal conditions for each fish species. This can enhance their survival rates and promote growth. In this study, we evaluate a series of machine learning algorithms for their ability to predict the optimal fish species based on water quality parameters. Among these algorithms, Random Forest demonstrated superior performance, achieving an accuracy of 92.5%, precision of 93%, recall of 93%, and F1-score of 92%. These findings highlight the effectiveness of our approach in integrating machine learning with IoT for precise aquaculture management. Implemented through a user-friendly mobile application, our system enhances accessibility and usability for fish farmers.
