Published: July 2024

Precise tidal forecasting is an academic exercise and a crucial tool for designing and constructing coastal and marine infrastructure. Machine learning algorithms (MLAs) like Random Forest Regression (RF), K-Nearest Neighbors Regression (KN), Gradient Boosting Machines (GBM), and artificial neural networks (ANNs) are powerful data-driven techniques that can be harnessed for this practical purpose. This study utilizes four machine learning algorithms (MLAs), namely (RF), (KN), (GBM), and the Artificial Neural Network - Multilayer Perceptron (ANN-MLP) model, to accurately estimate the tidal levels along the central coast of the western Arabian Gulf, with direct implications for real-world infrastructure planning and construction. Several metrics, such as mean absolute error (MAE), mean squared error (MSE), normalized mean square error (NMSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), correlation coefficient (R), and root mean square error (RMSE), are used to compare how well the MLAs forecast daily tidal levels. The results confirmed the ANN-MLP model's superiority over the other approaches. The ANN-MLP model, a specific type of artificial neural network, yields enhancements in (RMSE) of 8.945% and 19.05%, 14.18% compared to (RF), (KN), and (GBM), respectively, throughout the testing process. The ANN-MLP, being a powerful and versatile machine learning algorithm, demonstrated the best level of accuracy, together with the lowest values for (RMSE). This experiment unequivocally proves that the ANN-MLP method can be utilized as a supervised machine-learning method for accurately forecasting seawater levels of tidal.

Phishing is performed by trying to trick the victim into accessing any computing information that looks original and then instructing them to send important data to unrestricted/unwanted private resources. For prevention, it is essential to develop a phishing detection system. Recent phishing detection systems are based on data mining and machine learning techniques. Most of the related work literature requires the collection of previous phishing attack logs, analyzing them creating a list of such activities, and blocking traffic from such sources. However, this is a cumbersome task because the data size is very large, continues changing, and is dynamic in nature. [1]. Instead of using a single algorithm approach, it would be better to use a hybrid approach. A hybrid approach would be better at mitigating phishing attacks because the classification of different formats of data is handled; whether the intruder wants to use images or textural input to gain into another user system for phishing. Hybrid recommendation decision trees enhance any of the machine learning and deep learning algorithms' performance. The decision path of the model followed a series of if/else/then statements that connect the predicted class from the root of the tree through the branches of the tree to detect true positives and false negatives of phishing attempts. 10 decision trees were considered and used the features to train the recommendation decision regression model. The developed hybrid recommendation decision tree approach provided an overall true positive rate of the model of 92.28 % and a false negative rate is 7.4%.

The topic of study and practice known as "privacy-preserving machine learning (PPML)" is devoted to creating methods and strategies that enable the training and application of machine learning models while protecting the privacy of sensitive data for convolution neural network and Machine learning algorithms. Garbled worlds" is a concept primarily used in the context of privacy-preserving machine learning (PPML). It refers to a technique used to protect the privacy of individual data points during the training process of machine learning models. Garbled worlds allow organizations or individuals to collaborate and train machine learning models using their combined datasets without sharing the raw data. This is particularly important in scenarios where data privacy regulations or concerns prohibit the sharing of sensitive information. By using garbled worlds, organizations can leverage the collective knowledge in multiple datasets while protecting the privacy of individuals whose data contributes to the training process. This technique helps balance data privacy and the utility of machine learning models in various applications. The effectiveness and adaptability of ABY3 (The mixed protocol framework for machine learning) enable users to select several cryptographic protocols based on their unique needs and limitations. In comparison to other safe multi-party computation frameworks, it minimizes computational and communication costs while maintaining a high level of security. The viability of our system is demonstrated by the enhanced benchmarking of the previously described algorithms in contrast to ABY3.
