    An Efficient Deepfake Detection System Using ConvoReinAutoNet and GeoFisherNet

    No full text
    This research proposes an efficient deepfake detection system using a hybrid optimization model and a new deep learning approach. This system is divided into two phases: (i) the training Phase and (ii) the detection Phase. The decision phase is the ultimate decision maker, wherein a new deep learning approach referred to as ConvoReinAutoNet(CRAN) is introduced by levering the layers of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), and Autoencoders, respectively. The training phase is enriched with new feature fusion and a hybrid optimization-based optimal feature selection approach. The extracted temporal and texture features (newly introduced Improved Local Ternary Patterns (I-LTP)) from the pre-processed images of the deepfake database are fused using the new GeoFisherNet. The newest hybrid optimization method called Marine Predator Customized White Shark Optimizer (MCWO) is used to select the best features among the combined features, which represents the combination of both the Marine Predator Algorithm (MPA) and White Shark Optimization Algorithm (WSO). The suggested model has been implemented in python and validated in terms of detection efficiency over the existing approaches

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

    Formalizing Permission to Delegate and Delegation with Policy Interaction

    No full text
    In the context of Internet of Things (IoT) intelligent systems, the latest research regarding delegation using an access control model has gained attention, reflecting the need for models to support more functionalities in relation to hierarchical delegation. With respect to delegation procedures within access control, issues arise after delegation concerning the permissions to others with respect to revocation. Redundancy and conflict arising from delegation can occur depending on the delegation policies used within the hierarchical structure. This article discusses implementation of positive delegation represented by “YES” and negative delegation represented by “NO”. Furthermore, we also consider permission to delegate positively and negatively represented by (YES and NO). These challenges are addressed by creating additional features in a hierarchical policy model (HPol). The implementation was created using Python (ver. 3.10) code to verify the advantages of the approach, through experimentation under different scenarios. The model also has the capability to manage and adapt features of the Internet of Things (IoT) to a blockchain architecture, enhancing security and verification during the delegation process and increasing the scalability of Internet of Things (IoT) intelligent environment systems
