    Artificial Intelligence in Music Production Innovations Practices and Industry Implications, 2026
    An AI-powered music composition framework is introduced, capable of generating complete pop songs by integrating Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) with Genetic Algorithms (GAs). RNNs produce melodically coherent MIDI sequences that reflect long-term musical dependencies, while GAs refine song structure based on user preferences such as variation, transition smoothness, and catchiness. Unlike the MAGMA framework, which is limited to instrumental MIDI creation, the proposed system incorporates vocals using a realistic Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine. Lyrics can be user provided or generated through NLP and are precisely synchronized with the MIDI output using tools such as librosa, pydub, and fluidsynth. The implementation uses Python libraries including tensorflow, torch, pretty-midi, music21, pandas, and matplotlib, and a feedback loop allows users to iteratively improve song quality. The framework aims to make high-quality, personalized music production accessible to musicians, content creators, and professionals.

    Navigating Public Security in the Age of Post Truth Challenges and Implications, 2026
    Phishing attacks continue to pose a major cybersecurity challenge by exploiting deceptive URLs to obtain sensitive information. Although deep learning approaches such as CNNs, RNNs, and Transformers have demonstrated state of the art detection performance, traditional machine learning classifiers remain widely utilized because of their efficiency,interpretability, and relatively low resource requirements. In this study, we implement and evaluate ten machine learning models including Logistic Regression, Gradient Boosting, CatBoost, XGBoost, and Multi-Layer Perceptron on a publicly available phishing URL dataset from Kaggle. Experimental results show that ensemble based models,particularly XGBoost and Random Forest, achieve the highest accuracy, while Logistic Regression offers competitive performance with the advantages of simplicity, interpretability, and low computational overhead. The findings highlight the tradeoffs between accuracy, interpretability, and computational cost,providing practical guidance for selecting appropriate models in real world phishing detection systems.

    Iaes International Journal of Artificial Intelligence, 2024
    Phishing attacks pose a constant threat to online security, necessitating the development of efficient tools for identifying malicious URLs. In this article, we propose a novel approach to detect phishing URLs employing a generative adversarial network (GAN) with a variational autoencoder (VAE) as the generator and a transformer model with self-attention as the discriminator. The VAE generator is trained to produce synthetic URLs. In contrast, the transformer discriminator uses its self-attention mechanism to focus on the different parts of the input URLs to extract crucial features. Our model uses adversarial training to distinguish between legitimate and phishing URLs. We evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method using a large set of one million URLs that incorporate both authentic and phishing URLs. Experimental results show that our model is effective, with an impressive accuracy of 97.75%, outperforming the baseline models. This study significantly improves online security by offering a novel and highly accurate phishing URL detection method.

    In the dynamic realm of digital advancements, the persistent menace of phishing attacks continues to jeopardize the security landscape for both individuals and organizations. As cyber attacks continue to proliferate, URL-based phishing attacks are growing rapidly. This paper presents an exploratory study aimed at enhancing cybersecurity measures through the detection of phishing URLs. Our approach involves exploring the integration of Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) with various attention mechanisms to bolster accuracy in discerning between legitimate and phishing URLs. Notably, our study reveals that the implementation of the Bahdanau attention mechanism with GRU yields remarkable results, achieving an accuracy of 98.14%. We conducted experiments on a comprehensive dataset comprising 95,913 URLs. Our primary objectives include fortifying cybersecurity defenses against phishing threats, innovating through the integration of diverse attention mechanisms with GRU, and substantiating the efficacy of our model through rigorous evaluation metrics. As the realm of cybersecurity confronts escalating challenges, our research not only offers valuable insights but also charts a promising trajectory for future advancements in cybersecurity strategies.

    K. S. Jishnu, B. Arthi
    Automatika, 2024
    The rise of cyber threats, particularly URL-based phishing attacks, has tarnished the digital age despite its unparalleled access to information. These attacks often deceive users into disclosing confidential information by redirecting them to fraudulent websites. Existing browser-based methods, predominantly relying on blacklist approaches, have failed to effectively detect phishing attacks. To counteract this issue, we propose a novel system that integrates a deep learning model with a user-centric Chrome browser extension to detect and alert users about potential phishing URLs instantly. Our approach introduces a Knowledge Distilled ELECTRA model for URL detection and achieves remarkable performance metrics of 99.74% accuracy and a 99.43% F1-score on a diverse dataset of 450,176 URLs. Coupled with the browser extension, our system provides real-time feedback, empowering users to make informed decisions about the websites they visit. Additionally, we incorporate a user feedback loop for continuous model enhancement. This work sets a precedent by offering a seamless, robust, and efficient solution to mitigate phishing threats for internet users.

    Proceedings of the 2023 2nd International Conference on Augmented Intelligence and Sustainable Systems Icaiss 2023, 2023
    A serious cybersecurity threat is phishing attacks, which use bogus URLs to fool users into disclosing critical information. These attacks affect human vulnerability and potentially result in significant data breaches and financial damages. Phishing attack prevention is vital for protecting individuals and organizations from falling for fraudulent schemes and maintaining internet security. This study introduces a novel method for phishing URL detection employing the RoBERTa transformer-based model for feature extraction and the LSTM for classification. RoBERTa extracts semantic and contextual information from URLs during the feature extraction step. By encoding the URLs into contextualized embeddings, RoBERTa successfully learns to represent the URLs in a way that captures their complicated meaning and surrounding context. The LSTM layer accurately categorizes URLs by capturing their sequential relationships using the collected features. The dataset is extensive, with 3,00,000 URLs. After comprehensive training and testing, the proposed system successfully differentiates between legitimate and phishing URLs with an accuracy of 97.14%. The results highlight the importance of incorporating LSTM for classification and RoBERTa for feature extraction in phishing URL detection. The findings of this study broaden phishing detection techniques and offer practical countermeasures.
