By Rupam Bhattacharyya

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2025.02.02, Pub. Date: 8 Apr. 2025

There is a growing interest in multilingual tweet analysis through advanced deep learning techniques. Identifying the sentiments of Twitter (currently known as X) users during the IPO (Initial Public Offering) is an important application area in the financial domain. The number of research works in this domain is less. In this paper, we introduced a multilingual dataset entitled as LIC IPO dataset. This work also offers a modified majority voting-based ensemble technique in addition to our proposed dataset. This test-time ensembling technique is driven by fine-tuning of state-of-the-art transformer-based pretrained language models used in multilingual natural language processing (NLP) research. Our technique has been employed to perform sentiment analysis over LIC IPO dataset. Performance evaluation of our technique along with five transformer-based multilingual NLP models over this dataset has been reported in this paper. These five models are namely a) Bernice, b) TwHIN-BERT, c) MuRIL, d) mBERT, and e) XLM-RoBERTa. It is found that our test-time ensemble technique solves this multi-class sentiment classification problem defined over the proposed dataset in a better way as compared to individual transformer models. Encouraging experimental outcomes confirms the efficacy of the proposed approach

By Trisya Septiana Dikpride Despa Fadil Hamdani Deny Budiyanto Reza Andrea

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2025.02.03, Pub. Date: 8 Apr. 2025

The University of Lampung is one of the universities mandated to run the Professional Engineer Program (PPI) through the Past Learning Recognition (RPL) pathway. Individuals following this RPL path must have at least five years of experience in the engineering field, where their education, work, and training data from formal and informal institutions can be converted into six courses totaling 24 credits. The RPL data assessment process, if conducted manually, takes a long time and hampers the administrative process in PPI. Therefore, an effective and efficient assessment process is automated through a web-based application by developing an RPL data final grade processing system (E-RAPEL), which addresses common problems in PPI and facilitates grade administration. The system development adopts the Scrum method to enhance product performance, teamwork, and the work environment. Data collection in this study was conducted through interviews and direct observation, and the results indicate that the system facilitates the final assessment process of RPL data using black box testing. The findings show that all test components functioned as expected and reduced the time required for the RPL data final assessment process in PPI.

By Pradip M. Paithane

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2025.02.05, Pub. Date: 8 Apr. 2025

The fast growth of Internet technology has significantly changed online users’ experiences, while security concerns are becoming increasingly overpowering. Among these concerns, phishing stands out as a prominent criminal activity that uses social engineering and technology to steal a victim’s identification data and account information. According to the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG), the number of phishing detections increased by 46 in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. So to overcome these situations below paper introduces a phishing detection system using a hybrid machine learning approach based on URL attributes. It addresses the growing threat of phishing attacks that exploit email manipulation and fake websites to deceive users and steal sensitive data. The study employs a phishing URL dataset with over 11,000 websites, extracted from a reputable repository. After pre-processing, a hybrid machine learning model, which includes Decision Tree, Random Forest, and XGB is employed to safeguard against phishing URLs. The proposed approach undergoes evaluation with key metrics such as precision, accuracy, recall, F1-score, and specificity. Results demonstrate that the proposed method surpasses other models, achieving superior accuracy and efficiency in detecting phishing attacks.

Optimizing energy management for household appliances is essential for maximizing domestic energy utilization and enabling preventive maintenance. Recent studies indicate that traditional forecasting approaches frequently lack the necessary accuracy and real-time learning capabilities required for effective management of household energy. This study demonstrates the implementation of a comprehensive strategy that integrates Internet of Things (IoT) data, machine learning (ML), and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) to improve the accuracy and interpretability of predicting energy usage in residential buildings. Our research focuses on the rising issues faced by IoT-based smart systems, partic- ularly the deficiencies in the performance of current solutions. Therefore, as compared to the other 17 models that were examined, polynomial regression demonstrated outstanding performance. Our solution utilizes a non-intrusive sensor to collect data without disrupting its operation. Real-time data collecting is achieved through a Flask-based web page with Ngrok for external access.The efficacy of the proposed system was assessed using many metrics, yielding highly satisfac- tory results: the root mean square error (RMSE) was 0.03, the mean absolute error (MAE) was 0.02, the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) was 0.04, and the coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.9989. However, modern cutting-edge methods still face considerable hurdles when it comes to interpretability. In order to tackle these problems, we include XAI techniques such as SHAP and LIME. Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) improves the interpretability of the model by elucidating the impact of various variables on energy consumption forecasts. Not only does this increase the effectiveness of the model, but it also promotes comprehension of the data and enables them to identify the elements that influence home energy usage.

Data Deduplication-based Efficient Cloud Optimisation Technique: Optimizing Cloud Storage through Data Deduplication

By Ranga Kavitha Mahaboob Sharief Shaik Narala Swarnalatha M. Pujitha Syed Asadullah Hussaini Samiullah Khan Shamsher Ali

Effective storage management is crucial for cloud computing systems' speed and cost, given data's exponential increase. The significance of this issue has increased as the amount of data continues to increase at a disturbing pace. The act of detecting and removing duplicate data can enhance storage utilisation and system efficiency. Using less storage capacity reduces data transmission costs and enhances cloud infrastructure scalability. The use of deduplication techniques on a wide scale, on the other hand, presents a number of important obstacles. Security issues, delays in deduplication, and maintaining data integrity are all examples of difficulties that fall under this classification.  
This paper introduces a revolutionary method called Data Deduplication-based Efficient Cloud Optimisation Technique (DD-ECOT). Optimising storage processes and enhancing performance in cloud-based systems is its intended goal. DD-ECOT combines advanced pattern recognition with chunking to increase storage efficiency at minimal cost. It protects data during deduplication with secure hash-based indexing. Parallel processing and scalable design decrease latency, making it adaptable enough for vast, ever-changing cloud setups.The DD-ECOT system avoids these problems through employing a secure hash-based indexing method to keep data intact and by using parallel processing to speed up deduplication without impacting system performance. Enterprise cloud storage systems, disaster recovery solutions, and large-scale data management environments are some of the usage cases for DD-ECOT. Analysis of simulations shows that the suggested solution outperforms conventional deduplication techniques in terms of storage efficiency, data retrieval speed, and overall system performance. The findings suggest that DD-ECOT has the ability to improve cloud service delivery while cutting operational costs. A simulation reveals that the proposed DD-ECOT framework outperforms existing deduplication methods. DD-ECOT boosts storage efficiency by 92.8% by reducing duplicate data. It reduces latency by 97.2% using parallel processing and sophisticated deduplication. Additionally, secure hash-based indexing methods improve data integrity to 98.1%. Optimized bandwidth usage of 95.7% makes data transfer efficient. These improvements suggest DD-ECOT may save operational costs, optimize storage, and beat current deduplication methods.
