Abstract

With population rising to approximately 200 million Nigerians – fast-paced, urbanization has continued to advent food insecurity with maladministration, corruption, internal rife, and starvation. These, threatened the nation's unity with the lockdown of 2020; and consequently, have now become the trend. Nigeria must as a nation, re-examine her methods in the administration of palliatives (in lieu of food and relief) distribution – as the above-listed issues have become of critical need in the equitable distribution of reliefs, both from the humanitarian agency view, and the Government (State and Federal). They have noticed non-transparency, corruption, and data inadequacies, as major drawbacks in its management. Our study presents a blockchain ensemble for the administration of food palliatives distribution in Nigeria that first ensures, that all beneficiaries be registered, and the food palliatives are sensor-tagged and recorded on the blockchain. Results show the number of transactions per second and page retrieval abilities for the proposed chain were quite low with 30-TPS and 0.38seconds respectively – as compared to public blockchain. Proposed ensemble eliminates fraud that is herein rippled across the existing system, minimizes corrupt practices via sensor-based model, provides insight for stakeholders, and minimize the error in reported data on the supply chain.

Abstract

Rainfall as an environmental feat can change fast and yield significant influence in downstream hydrology known as runoff with a variety of implications such as erosion, water quality, and infrastructures. These, in turn impact the quality of life, sewage systems, agriculture, and tourism of a nation to mention a few. It chaotic, complex, and dynamic nature has necessitated studies in the quest for future direction of such runoff via prediction models. With little successes in use of knowledge driven models, many studies have now turned to data-driven models. Dataset is retrieved from Metrological Center in Lagos, Nigeria for the period 1999-2019 for the Benin-Owena River Basin. Data is split: 70% for train and 30% for test. Our study adapts a spatial-temporal profile hidden Markov trained deep neural network. Result yields a sensitivity of 0.9, specificity 0.19, accuracy of 0.74, and improvement rate of classification of 0.12. Other ensembles underperformed when compared to proposed model. The study reveals annual rainfall is an effect of variation cycle. Models will help simulate future floods and provide lead time warnings in flood management.

Abstract

With the incessant outbreak of fire, the heavy loss to both lives and properties in the society fire has since become a critical issue and challenge that needs our daily attention to be resolved. Loss of lives and properties to fire outbreak in 2021 alone as occurring in major Nigerian markets and residential homes was estimated at over 3 trillion Naira. Our study proposes a wireless sensor network internet of things (IoT) based ensemble to aid the effective monitoring, detection and alerting of residents and fire service departments. With cost as a major issue and the requisite installation of fire and smoke detectors in many houses our ensemble can efficiently integrate into the existing system using the ESP8285-controller to create a comprehensive access control system. The system provides real time monitor and control capabilities that will allow administrators to track and manage fire monitor and detection within a facility. Thus, enhances system's efficiency and performance.

Abstract

The advent of the Internet as an effective means for resource sharing has consequently, led to proliferation of adversaries, with unauthorized access to network resources. Adversaries achieved fraudulent activities via carefully crafted attacks of large magnitude targeted at personal gains and rewards. With the cost of over $1.3Trillion lost globally to financial crimes and the rise in such fraudulent activities vis the use of credit-cards, financial institutions and major stakeholders must begin to explore and exploit better and improved means to secure client data and funds. Banks and financial services must harness the creative mode rendered by machine learning schemes to help effectively manage such fraud attacks and threats. We propose HyGAMoNNE – a hybrid modular genetic algorithm trained neural network ensemble to detect fraud activities. The hybrid, equipped with knowledge to altruistically detect fraud on credit card transactions. Results show that the hybrid effectively differentiates, the benign class attacks/threats from genuine credit card transaction(s) with model accuracy of 92%.

Abstract

Besides the inherent benefits of exchanging information and interactions between nodes on a social graph, they can also become a means for the propagation of knowledge. Social graphs have also become a veritable structure for the spread of disease outbreaks. These and its set of protocols are deployed as measures to curb its widespread effects as it has also left network experts puzzled. The recent lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic continue to reiterate that diseases will always be around. Nodal exposure, adoption/diffusion of disease(s) among interacting nodes vis-a-vis migration of nodes that cause further spread of contagion (concerning COVID-19 and other epidemics) has continued to leave experts bewildered towards rejigging set protocols. We model COVID-19 as a Markovian process with node targeting, propagation and recovery using migration-interaction as a threshold feat on a social graph. The migration-interaction design seeks to provision the graph with minimization and block of targeted diffusion of the contagion using seedset(s) nodes with a susceptible-infect policy. The study results showed that migration and interaction of nodes via the mobility approach have become an imperative factor that must be added when modeling the propagation of contagion or epidemics.

Abstract

Blockchain platforms propagate into every facet, including managing medical services with professional and patient-centered applications. With its sensitive nature, record privacy has become imminent with medical services for patient diagnosis and treatments. The nature of medical records has continued to necessitate their availability, reachability, accessibility, security, mobility, and confidentiality. Challenges to these include authorized transfer of patient records on referral, security across platforms, content diversity, platform interoperability, etc. These, are today – demystified with blockchain-based apps, which proffers platform/application services to achieve data features associated with the nature of the records. We use a permissioned-blockchain for healthcare record management. Our choice of permission mode with a hyper-fabric ledger that uses a world-state on a peer-to-peer chain – is that its smart contracts do not require a complex algorithm to yield controlled transparency for users. Its actors include patients, practitioners, and health-related officers as users to create, retrieve, and store patient medical records and aid interoperability. With a population of 500, the system yields a transaction (query and https) response time of 0.56 seconds and 0.42 seconds, respectively. To cater to platform scalability and accessibility, the system yielded 0.78 seconds and 063 seconds, respectively, for 2500 users.

Abstract

The digital market today, is rippled with a variety of goods/services that promote monetization and asset exchange with clients constantly seeking improved alternatives at lowered cost to meet their value demands. From item upgrades to their replacement, businesses are poised with retention strategies to help curb the challenge of customer attrition. Such strategies include the upgrade of goods and services at lesser cost and targeted improved value chains to meet client needs. These are found to improve client retention and better monetization. The study predicts customer churn via tree-based ensembles with data resampling such as the random-under-sample, synthetic minority oversample (SMOTE), and SMOTE-edited nearest neighbor (SMOTEEN). We chose three (3) tree-based ensembles namely: (a) decision tree, (b) random forest, and (c) extreme gradient boosting – to ensure we have single and ensemble classifier(s) to assess how well bagging and boosting modes perform on consumer churn prediction. With chi-square feature selection mode, the Decision tree model yields an accuracy of 0.9973, F1 of 0.9898, a precision of 0.9457, and a recall of 0.9698 respectively; while Random Forest yields an accuracy of 0.9973, F1 of 0.9898, precision 0.9457, and recall 0.9698 respectively. The XGBoost outperformed both Decision tree and Random Forest classifiers with an accuracy of 0.9984, F1 of 0.9945, Precision of 0.9616, and recall of 0.9890 respectively – which is attributed to its use of hyper-parameter tuning on its trees. We also note that SMOTEEN data balancing outperforms other data augment schemes with retention of a 30-day moratorium period for our adoption of the recency-frequency-monetization to improve monetization and keep business managers ahead of the consumer attrition curve.

Abstract

One main objective of higher education is to provide quality education to its students. One way to achieve the highest level of quality in the higher education system is by discovering knowledge for prediction regarding enrolment of students in a particular course, alienation of traditional classroom teaching model, detection of unfair means used in online examination, detection of abnormal values in the result sheets of the students, and prediction about students’ performance. The knowledge is hidden among the educational data set and is extractable through data mining techniques. The present paper is designed to justify the capabilities of data mining techniques in the context of higher education by offering a data mining model for the higher education system in the university. In this research, the classification task is used to evaluate student’s performance, and as many approaches are used for data classification, the decision tree method is used here. By this, we extract data that describes students’ summative performance at semester’s end, helps to identify the dropouts and students who need special attention, and allows the teacher to provide appropriate advising/counseling.

Abstract

The digital revolution frontiers have rippled across society today – with various web content shared online for users as they seek to promote monetization and asset exchange, with clients constantly seeking improved alternatives at lowered costs to meet their value demands. From item upgrades to their replacement, businesses are poised with retention strategies to help curb the challenge of customer attrition. The birth of smartphones has proliferated feats such as mobility, ease of accessibility, and portability – which, in turn, have continued to ease their rise in adoption, exposing user device vulnerability as they are quite susceptible to phishing. With users classified as more susceptible than others due to online presence and personality traits, studies have sought to reveal lures/cues as exploited by adversaries to enhance phishing success and classify web content as genuine and malicious. Our study explores the tree-based Random Forest to effectively identify phishing cues via sentiment analysis on phishing website datasets as scrapped from user accounts on social network sites. The dataset is scrapped via Python Google Scrapper and divided into train/test subsets to effectively classify contents as genuine or malicious with data balancing and feature selection techniques. With Random Forest as the machine learning of choice, the result shows the ensemble yields a prediction accuracy of 97 percent with an F1-score of 98.19% that effectively correctly classified 2089 instances with 85 incorrectly classified instances for the test-dataset.

Abstract

High blood pressure (or hypertension) is a causative disorder to a plethora of other ailments – as it succinctly masks other ailments, making them difficult to diagnose and manage with a targeted treatment plan effectively. While some patients living with elevated high blood pressure can effectively manage their condition via adjusted lifestyle and monitoring with follow-up treatments, Others in self-denial leads to unreported instances, mishandled cases, and in now rampant cases – result in death. Even with the usage of machine learning schemes in medicine, two (2) significant issues abound, namely: (a) utilization of dataset in the construction of the model, which often yields non-perfect scores, and (b) the exploration of complex deep learning models have yielded improved accuracy, which often requires large dataset. To curb these issues, our study explores the tree-based stacking ensemble with Decision tree, Adaptive Boosting, and Random Forest (base learners) while we explore the XGBoost as a meta-learner. With the Kaggle dataset as retrieved, our stacking ensemble yields a prediction accuracy of 1.00 and an F1-score of 1.00 that effectively correctly classified all instances of the test dataset.
