Breakthroughs in deep learning have been particularly transformative, enabling more effective detection of key information and creating new possibilities for video synopsis. To summarize recent progress and accelerate research in this field,this paper provides a comprehensive review of deep learningbased video summarization methods developed over the past decade. We begin by examining the research landscape of video abstraction technologies and identifying core challenges in video summarization. Subsequently, we systematically analyze prevailing deep learning frameworks and methodologies employed in current video summarization systems, offering researchers a clear roadmap of the field's evolution. Unlike previous review works,we first classify research papers based on the structural hierarchy of the video(from frame-level to shot-level to video-level),then further categorize them according to the summary backbone model(feature extraction and spatiotemporal modeling).This approach provides a more systematic and hierarchical organization of the documents. Following this comprehensive review,we summarize the benchmark datasets and evaluation metrics commonly employed in the field. Finally, we analyze persistent challenges and propose insightful directions for future research,providing a forward-looking perspective on video summarization technologies. This systematic literature review is of great reference value to new researchers exploring the fields of deep learning and video summarization.展开更多

文摘Accurate streamflow prediction is essential for flood warning,reservoir operation,irrigation scheduling,hydropower planning,and sustainable water management,yet remains challenging due to the complexity of hydrological processes.Although data-driven models often outperform conventional physics-based hydrological modelling approaches,their real-world deployment is limited by cost,infrastructure demands,and the interdisciplinary expertise required.To bridge this gap,this study developed QPred,a regional,lightweight,cost-effective,web-delivered application for daily streamflow forecasting.The study executed an end-to-end workflow,from field data acquisition to accessible web-based deployment for on-demand forecasting.High-resolution rainfall data were recorded with tippingbucket gauges and loggers,while river water depth in the Aglar and Paligaad watersheds was converted to discharge using site-specific rating curves,resulting in a daily dataset of precipitation,river water level and discharge.Four DL architectures were trained,including vanilla Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM),stacked LSTM,bidirectional LSTM,and Gated Recurrent Unit(GRU),and evaluated using Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency(NSE),Coefficient of Determination(R2),Root-Mean-Square-Error-Standard-Deviation Ratio(RSR),and Percentage Bias(PBIAS)metrics.Performance was watershed-specific,as the vanilla LSTM demonstrated the best generalisation for the Aglar watershed(R2=0.88,NSE=0.82,RMSE=0.12 during validation),while the GRU achieved the highest validation accuracy in Paligaad(R2=0.88,NSE=0.88,RMSE=0.49).All models achieved satisfactory to excellent performance during calibration(R2>0.91,NSE>0.91 for both watersheds),demonstrating strong capability to capture streamflow dynamics.The highest performing models were selected and embedded into the QPred application.QPred was developed as a lightweight web pipeline,utilising Google Colab as the primary execution environment,Flask as the backend inference framework,Google Drive for artefact storage,andNgrok for secureHTTPS tunnelling.Auser-friendly front end utilises range sliders(bounded by observed minima and maxima)to gather inputs and provides discharge data along with metadata,thereby enhancing transparency.This work demonstrates that accurate,context-aware deep learningmodels can be delivered through low-cost,web-based platforms,providing a reproducible and scalable pipeline for hydrological applications in other watersheds and for practitioners.

文摘Human Activity Recognition(HAR)is a novel area for computer vision.It has a great impact on healthcare,smart environments,and surveillance while is able to automatically detect human behavior.It plays a vital role in many applications,such as smart home,healthcare,human computer interaction,sports analysis,and especially,intelligent surveillance.In this paper,we propose a robust and efficient HAR system by leveraging deep learning paradigms,including pre-trained models,CNN architectures,and their average-weighted fusion.However,due to the diversity of human actions and various environmental influences,as well as a lack of data and resources,achieving high recognition accuracy remain elusive.In this work,a weighted average ensemble technique is employed to fuse three deep learning models:EfficientNet,ResNet50,and a custom CNN.The results of this study indicate that using a weighted average ensemble strategy for developing more effective HAR models may be a promising idea for detection and classification of human activities.Experiments by using the benchmark dataset proved that the proposed weighted ensemble approach outperformed existing approaches in terms of accuracy and other key performance measures.The combined average-weighted ensemble of pre-trained and CNN models obtained an accuracy of 98%,compared to 97%,96%,and 95%for the customized CNN,EfficientNet,and ResNet50 models,respectively.

文摘Wearable sensors integrated with deep learning techniques have the potential to revolutionize seamless human-machine interfaces for real-time health monitoring,clinical diagnosis,and robotic applications.Nevertheless,it remains a critical challenge to simultaneously achieve desirable mechanical and electrical performance along with biocompatibility,adhesion,self-healing,and environmental robustness with excellent sensing metrics.Herein,we report a multifunctional,anti-freezing,selfadhesive,and self-healable organogel pressure sensor composed of cobalt nanoparticle encapsulated nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes(CoN CNT)embedded in a polyvinyl alcohol-gelatin(PVA/GLE)matrix.Fabricated using a binary solvent system of water and ethylene glycol(EG),the CoN CNT/PVA/GLE organogel exhibits excellent flexibility,biocompatibility,and temperature tolerance with remarkable environmental stability.Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy confirms near-stable performance across a broad humidity range(40%-95%RH).Freeze-tolerant conductivity under sub-zero conditions(-20℃)is attributed to the synergistic role of CoN CNT and EG,preserving mobility and network integrity.The Co N CNT/PVA/GLE organogel sensor exhibits high sensitivity of 5.75 k Pa^(-1)in the detection range from 0 to 20 k Pa,ideal for subtle biomechanical motion detection.A smart human-machine interface for English letter recognition using deep learning achieved 98%accuracy.The organogel sensor utility was extended to detect human gestures like finger bending,wrist motion,and throat vibration during speech.

文摘The exponential growth of video content has driven significant advancements in video summarization techniques in recent years. Breakthroughs in deep learning have been particularly transformative, enabling more effective detection of key information and creating new possibilities for video synopsis. To summarize recent progress and accelerate research in this field,this paper provides a comprehensive review of deep learningbased video summarization methods developed over the past decade. We begin by examining the research landscape of video abstraction technologies and identifying core challenges in video summarization. Subsequently, we systematically analyze prevailing deep learning frameworks and methodologies employed in current video summarization systems, offering researchers a clear roadmap of the field's evolution. Unlike previous review works,we first classify research papers based on the structural hierarchy of the video(from frame-level to shot-level to video-level),then further categorize them according to the summary backbone model(feature extraction and spatiotemporal modeling).This approach provides a more systematic and hierarchical organization of the documents. Following this comprehensive review,we summarize the benchmark datasets and evaluation metrics commonly employed in the field. Finally, we analyze persistent challenges and propose insightful directions for future research,providing a forward-looking perspective on video summarization technologies. This systematic literature review is of great reference value to new researchers exploring the fields of deep learning and video summarization.
文摘Modern manufacturing processes have become more reliant on automation because of the accelerated transition from Industry 3.0 to Industry 4.0.Manual inspection of products on assembly lines remains inefficient,prone to errors and lacks consistency,emphasizing the need for a reliable and automated inspection system.Leveraging both object detection and image segmentation approaches,this research proposes a vision-based solution for the detection of various kinds of tools in the toolkit using deep learning(DL)models.Two Intel RealSense D455f depth cameras were arranged in a top down configuration to capture both RGB and depth images of the toolkits.After applying multiple constraints and enhancing them through preprocessing and augmentation,a dataset consisting of 3300 annotated RGB-D photos was generated.Several DL models were selected through a comprehensive assessment of mean Average Precision(mAP),precision-recall equilibrium,inference latency(target≥30 FPS),and computational burden,resulting in a preference for YOLO and Region-based Convolutional Neural Networks(R-CNN)variants over ViT-based models due to the latter’s increased latency and resource requirements.YOLOV5,YOLOV8,YOLOV11,Faster R-CNN,and Mask R-CNN were trained on the annotated dataset and evaluated using key performance metrics(Recall,Accuracy,F1-score,and Precision).YOLOV11 demonstrated balanced excellence with 93.0%precision,89.9%recall,and a 90.6%F1-score in object detection,as well as 96.9%precision,95.3%recall,and a 96.5%F1-score in instance segmentation with an average inference time of 25 ms per frame(≈40 FPS),demonstrating real-time performance.Leveraging these results,a YOLOV11-based windows application was successfully deployed in a real-time assembly line environment,where it accurately processed live video streams to detect and segment tools within toolkits,demonstrating its practical effectiveness in industrial automation.The application is capable of precisely measuring socket dimensions by utilising edge detection techniques on YOLOv11 segmentation masks,in addition to detection and segmentation.This makes it possible to do specification-level quality control right on the assembly line,which improves the ability to examine things in real time.The implementation is a big step forward for intelligent manufacturing in the Industry 4.0 paradigm.It provides a scalable,efficient,and accurate way to do automated inspection and dimensional verification activities.

文摘The rapid expansion of Internet of things(IoT)and cyber-physical systems presents a formidable challenge for sustainably powering massive numbers of distributed sensors.Friction,a ubiquitous phenomenon typically viewed as a source of energy dissipation,offers a novel avenue for energy harvesting and in situ sensing.In this study,a self-powered sensing system integrating a self-lubricating p-p heterojunction DC generator(SHDG)is constructed from the friction interface between a hydrogenated diamond-like carbon coating(HDLC)and a p-type gallium nitride(pGaN)wafer.The SHDG exhibits a peak power density of 2.1 kW m−2 and an 85%reduction in the wear rate compared to metal-pGaN counterparts.Theoretical analysis revealed that material transfer can modulate the pGaN surface states attenuating the built-in electric field and thus augmenting the tribo-induced electric-field-dominated DC output.Furthermore,the SHDG is integrated into a bearing for the high-precision monitoring of dynamic parameters,such as cage slip,exhibiting an average deviation of 0.0014 Hz from commercial sensors.Coupled with deep learning,self-sensing signals were utilized for fault diagnosis achieving an average accuracy of 96.81%across various conditions.The successful deployment of a smart bearing in a transmission system featuring wireless monitoring and stable operation exceeding 12 h corroborated its feasibility and durability.This study establishes a new paradigm for developing high-performance,long-lifespan,and self-powered sensing systems for next-generation intelligent equipment and IoT terminals.

文摘The stator of the maglev track plays a crucial role in the operation of the maglev system.Currently,the efficiency of maglev track inspection is limited by several factors,including the large span of elevated structures,manual visual inspection,short inspection window times,and limited GPS positioning accuracy.To address these issues,this paper proposes a deep learning-based method for detecting and locating stator surface damage.This study establishes a maglev track stator surface image dataset,trains different object detection models,and compares their performance.Ultimately,YOLO and ByteTrack object tracking algorithms were chosen as the basic framework and enhanced to achieve automatic identification of high-speed maglev track stator surface damage images and track and count stator surface localization feature images.By matching the identified damaged images with their corresponding stator segment and beam segment sequence numbers,the location of the damage is pinpointed to the corresponding stator segment,enabling rapid and accurate identification and localization of complex damage to the maglev track stator surface.

文摘Nondestructive measurement technology of phenotype can provide substantial phenotypic data support for applications such as seedling breeding,management,and quality testing.The current method of measuring seedling phenotypes mainly relies on manual measurement which is inefficient,subjective and destroys samples.Therefore,the paper proposes a nondestructive measurement method for the canopy phenotype of the watermelon plug seedlings based on deep learning.The Azure Kinect was used to shoot canopy color images,depth images,and RGB-D images of the watermelon plug seedlings.The Mask-RCNN network was used to classify,segment,and count the canopy leaves of the watermelon plug seedlings.To reduce the error of leaf area measurement caused by mutual occlusion of leaves,the leaves were repaired by CycleGAN,and the depth images were restored by image processing.Then,the Delaunay triangulation was adopted to measure the leaf area in the leaf point cloud.The YOLOX target detection network was used to identify the growing point position of each seedling on the plug tray.Then the depth differences between the growing point and the upper surface of the plug tray were calculated to obtain plant height.The experiment results show that the nondestructive measurement algorithm proposed in this paper achieves good measurement performance for the watermelon plug seedlings from the 1 true-leaf to 3 true-leaf stages.The average relative error of measurement is 2.33%for the number of true leaves,4.59%for the number of cotyledons,8.37%for the leaf area,and 3.27%for the plant height.The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm in this paper provides an effective solution for the nondestructive measurement of the canopy phenotype of the plug seedlings.

文摘Underground engineering projects such as deep tunnel excavation often encounter rockburst disasters accompanied by numerous microseismic events.Rapid interpretation of microseismic signals is crucial for the timely identification of rockbursts.However,conventional processing encompasses multi-step workflows,including classification,denoising,picking,locating,and computational analysis,coupled with manual intervention,which collectively compromise the reliability of early warnings.To address these challenges,this study innovatively proposes the“microseismic stethoscope"-a multi-task machine learning and deep learning model designed for the automated processing of massive microseismic signals.This model efficiently extracts three key parameters that are necessary for recognizing rockburst disasters:rupture location,microseismic energy,and moment magnitude.Specifically,the model extracts raw waveform features from three dedicated sub-networks:a classifier for source zone classification,and two regressors for microseismic energy and moment magnitude estimation.This model demonstrates superior efficiency compared to traditional processing and semi-automated processing,reducing per-event processing time from 0.71 s to 0.49 s to merely 0.036 s.It concurrently achieves 98%accuracy in source zone classification,with microseismic energy and moment magnitude estimation errors of 0.13 and 0.05,respectively.This model has been well applied and validated in the Daxiagu Tunnel case in Sichuan,China.The application results indicate that the model is as accurate as traditional methods in determining source parameters,and thus can be used to identify potential geomechanical processes of rockburst disasters.By enhancing the signal processing reliability of microseismic events,the proposed model in this study presents a significant advancement in the identification of rockburst disasters.

文摘Recent advances in deep learning have significantly improved flood detection and segmentation from aerial and satellite imagery.However,conventional convolutional neural networks(CNNs)often struggle in complex flood scenarios involving reflections,occlusions,or indistinct boundaries due to limited contextual modeling.To address these challenges,we propose a hybrid flood segmentation framework that integrates a Vision Transformer(ViT)encoder with a U-Net decoder,enhanced by a novel Flood-Aware Refinement Block(FARB).The FARB module improves boundary delineation and suppresses noise by combining residual smoothing with spatial-channel attention mechanisms.We evaluate our model on a UAV-acquired flood imagery dataset,demonstrating that the proposed ViTUNet+FARB architecture outperforms existing CNN and Transformer-based models in terms of accuracy and mean Intersection over Union(mIoU).Detailed ablation studies further validate the contribution of each component,confirming that the FARB design significantly enhances segmentation quality.To its better performance and computational efficiency,the proposed framework is well-suited for flood monitoring and disaster response applications,particularly in resource-constrained environments.

文摘Microscopy imaging is fundamental in analyzing bacterial morphology and dynamics,offering critical insights into bacterial physiology and pathogenicity.Image segmentation techniques enable quantitative analysis of bacterial structures,facilitating precise measurement of morphological variations and population behaviors at single-cell resolution.This paper reviews advancements in bacterial image segmentation,emphasizing the shift from traditional thresholding and watershed methods to deep learning-driven approaches.Convolutional neural networks(CNNs),U-Net architectures,and three-dimensional(3D)frameworks excel at segmenting dense biofilms and resolving antibiotic-induced morphological changes.These methods combine automated feature extraction with physics-informed postprocessing.Despite progress,challenges persist in computational efficiency,cross-species generalizability,and integration with multimodal experimental workflows.Future progress will depend on improving model robustness across species and imaging modalities,integrating multimodal data for phenotype-function mapping,and developing standard pipelines that link computational tools with clinical diagnostics.These innovations will expand microbial phenotyping beyond structural analysis,enabling deeper insights into bacterial physiology and ecological interactions.

文摘As deep learning(DL)models are increasingly deployed in sensitive domains(e.g.,healthcare),concerns over privacy and security have intensified.Conventional penetration testing frameworks,such asOWASP and NIST,are effective for traditional networks and applications but lack the capabilities to address DL-specific threats,such asmodel inversion,membership inference,and adversarial attacks.This review provides a comprehensive analysis of penetration testing for the privacy of DL models,examining the shortfalls of existing frameworks,tools,and testing methodologies.Through systematic evaluation of existing literature and empirical analysis,we identify three major contributions:(i)a critical assessment of traditional penetration testing frameworks’inadequacies when applied to DL-specific privacy vulnerabilities,(ii)a comprehensive evaluation of state-of-the-art privacy-preserving methods and their integration with penetration testing workflows,and(iii)the development of a structured framework that combines reconnaissance,threat modeling,exploitation,and post-exploitation phases specifically tailored for DL privacy assessment.Moreover,this review evaluates popular solutions such as IBMAdversarial Robustness Toolbox and TensorFlowPrivacy,alongside privacy-preserving techniques(e.g.,Differential Privacy,Homomorphic Encryption,and Federated Learning),which we systematically analyze through comparative studies of their effectiveness,computational overhead,and practical deployment constraints.While these techniques offer promising safeguards,their adoption is hindered by accuracy loss,performance overheads,and the rapid evolution of attack strategies.Our findings reveal that no single existing solution provides comprehensive protection,which leads us to propose a hybrid approach that strategically combines multiple privacy-preserving mechanisms.The findings of this survey underscore an urgent need for automated,regulationcompliant penetration testing frameworks specifically tailored to DL systems.We argue for hybrid privacy solutions that combinemultiple protectivemechanisms to ensure bothmodel accuracy and privacy.Building on our analysis,we present actionable recommendations for developing adaptive penetration testing strategies that incorporate automated vulnerability assessment,continuous monitoring,and regulatory compliance verification.

文摘This study proposed a deep learning-based nanoindentation simulation method to address the challenge of obtaining the mechanical parameters of rock-forming minerals and the complexity of regression analysis.This approach enables the accurate assessment of rock-forming minerals'mechanical parameters.A material database of nanoindentation load-depth(P-h)curves was generated using the material point method(MPM)to characterize the mechanical behavior of major rock-forming minerals(quartz,albite,and muscovite)in sandstone.We used Bayesian hyperparameter optimization to determine the optimal hyperparameters for training a deep neural network(DNN).The trained DNN model accurately predicted the material parameters of rock-forming minerals using experimental nanoindentation P-h data.Numerical simulations of the uniaxial compression of heterogeneous sandstones were conducted using the predicted parameters to assess the sandstones’macro-mechanical characteristics.The research findings provide new insights into the fundamental mechanical behavior of heterogeneous rock materials.
文摘Breast cancer screening programs rely heavily on mammography for early detection;however,diagnostic performance is strongly affected by inter-reader variability,breast density,and the limitations of conven-tional computer-aided detection systems.Recent advances in deep learning have enabled more robust and scalable solutions for large-scale screening,yet a systematic comparison of modern object detection architectures on nationally representative datasets remains limited.This study presents a comprehensive quantitative comparison of prominent deep learning–based object detection architectures for Artificial Intelligence-assisted mammography analysis using the MammosighTR dataset,developed within the Turkish National Breast Cancer Screening Program.The dataset comprises 12,740 patient cases collected between 2016 and 2022,annotated with BI-RADS categories,breast density levels,and lesion localization labels.A total of 31 models were evaluated,including One-Stage,Two-Stage,and Transformer-based architectures,under a unified experimental framework at both patient and breast levels.The results demonstrate that Two-Stage architectures consistently outperform One-Stage models,achieving approximately 2%–4%higher Macro F1-Scores and more balanced precision–recall trade-offs,with Double-Head R-CNN and Dynamic R-CNN yielding the highest overall performance(Macro F1≈0.84–0.86).This advantage is primarily attributed to the region proposal mechanism and improved class balance inherent to Two-Stage designs.One-Stage detectors exhibited higher sensitivity and faster inference,reaching Recall values above 0.88,but experienced minor reductions in Precision and overall accuracy(≈1%–2%)compared with Two-Stage models.Among Transformer-based architectures,Deformable DEtection TRansformer demonstrated strong robustness and consistency across datasets,achieving Macro F1-Scores comparable to CNN-based detectors(≈0.83–0.85)while exhibiting minimal performance degradation under distributional shifts.Breast density–based analysis revealed increased misclassification rates in medium-density categories(types B and C),whereas Transformer-based architectures maintained more stable performance in high-density type D tissue.These findings quantitatively confirm that both architectural design and tissue characteristics play a decisive role in diagnostic accuracy.Overall,the study provides a reproducible benchmark and highlights the potential of hybrid approaches that combine the accuracy of Two-Stage detectors with the contextual modeling capability of Transformer architectures for clinically reliable breast cancer screening systems.

文摘Waves are important physical phenomena in an ocean,and their accurate prediction is essential for ocean engineering,maritime traffic,and marine early warning systems.This study focuses on the Qinhuangdao Sea area located in the Bohai Sea,China.Herein,we use on-site wind data to correct the reanalysis wind data obtained from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts(ECMWF),improving the accuracy of boundary conditions.Then,we use the Simulating WAves Nearshore(SWAN)model to simulate the regional wave field over time.A regional wave-parameter prediction model is then developed using a limited number of sampled data(covering only 2 years,2020–2021);the model is based on the Whale Optimization Algorithm(WOA),convolutional neural networks(CNNs),and long short-term memory(LSTM)neural networks.WOA is used to optimize the CNN and LSTM framework;in this framework,CNN extracts spatial features,and the LSTM network captures temporal features,enabling accurate short and long-term predictions of wave height,period,and direction.The experimental results showed that despite the small sample size,the model achieves a goodness of fit of 0.9957 for wave height prediction,0.9973 for period,and 0.9749 for wave direction in short-term forecasting.As the prediction step size increases,the accuracy of the model decreases.When the prediction step size reaches 9 h,the root mean square error for the prediction of wave height,period,and direction increases to 0.2060 m,0.4582 s,and32.5358°,respectively.The reliability and applicability of the model are further validated by the experimental results.Our findings highlighted the potential of the developed model in operational wave forecasting,even with a limited number of sampled data.

文摘Deep learning methods have achieved significant progress in solving partial differential equations.However,when applied to the widely used anisotropic scattering neutron transport equations in reactor engineering,these encounter significant challenges.To address this issue,this study introduces a multi-antiderivative transformation alternating iterative deep learning method(M-AIM).This method transforms the integral terms of the scattering and fission sources in the transport equation into multiple antiderivative functions corresponding to the integrand,converts the differential-integral form of the transport equation into an exact differential equation,and establishes the necessary constraints for a unique solution.The M-AIM uses multiple deep neural networks to map the unknown angular flux density of transport equations and represents various forms of antiderivative functions.It constructs the corresponding weighted loss functions.By alternating iterative training with deep learning methods applied to these neural networks,the loss is reduced gradually.When the loss decreases to a preset minimum,the neural network approaches a numerical solution for both angular flux density and antiderivative functions.This paper presents a numerical verification of geometries such as flat plates and spheres.It verifies the validity of the theoretical framework and associated methods.The study contributes to the development of novel technical approaches for applying deep learning to solve anisotropic scattering neutron transport equations in reactor engineering.
文摘Wind turbine blade defect detection faces persistent challenges in separating small,low-contrast surface faults from complex backgrounds while maintaining reliability under variable illumination and viewpoints.Conven-tional image-processing pipelines struggle with scalability and robustness,and recent deep learning methods remain sensitive to class imbalance and acquisition variability.This paper introduces TurbineBladeDetNet,a convolutional architecture combining dual-attention mechanisms with multi-path feature extraction for detecting five distinct blade fault types.Our approach employs both channel-wise and spatial attention modules alongside an Albumentations-driven augmentation strategy to handle dataset imbalance and capture condition variability.The model achieves 97.14%accuracy,98.65%precision,and 98.68%recall,yielding a 98.66%F1-score with 0.0110 s inference time.Class-specific analysis shows uniformly high sensitivity and specificity;lightning damage reaches 99.80%for sensitivity,precision,and F1-score,and crack achieves perfect precision and specificity with a 98.94%F1-score.Comparative evaluation against recent wind-turbine inspection approaches indicates higher performance in both accuracy and F1-score.The resulting balance of sensitivity and specificity limits both missed defects and false alarms,supporting reliable deployment in routine unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)inspection.
文摘Intrusion detection in Internet of Things(IoT)environments presents challenges due to heterogeneous devices,diverse attack vectors,and highly imbalanced datasets.Existing research on the ToN-IoT dataset has largely emphasized binary classification and single-model pipelines,which often showstrong performance but limited generalizability,probabilistic reliability,and operational interpretability.This study proposes a stacked ensemble deep learning framework that integrates random forest,extreme gradient boosting,and a deep neural network as base learners,with CatBoost as the meta-learner.On the ToN-IoT Linux process dataset,the model achieved near-perfect discrimination(macro area under the curve=0.998),robust calibration,and superior F1-scores compared with standalone classifiers.Interpretability was achieved through SHapley Additive exPlanations–based feature attribution,which highlights actionable drivers ofmalicious behavior,such as command-line patterns,process scheduling anomalies,and CPU usage spikes,and aligns these indicators with MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques.Complementary analyses,including cumulative lift and sensitivity-specificity trade-offs,revealed the framework’s suitability for deployment in security operations centers,where calibrated risk scores,transparent explanations,and resource-aware triage are essential.These contributions bridge methodological rigor in artificial intelligence/machine learning with operational priorities in cybersecurity,delivering a scalable and explainable intrusion detection system suitable for real-world deployment in IoT environments.
