Temporal Attention Networks for Real-Time Multimodal Emotion Recognition from EEG and fNIRS Signals Vinod Waiker, Anne Marie D. Pahiwon, Ankush Mehta, Gadug Sudhamsu, Pavithra M, K. Kiran Kumar, B Kiran Bala, Osama R. Shahin International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, 2026 Emotion recognition is critical in the development of real-time mental health care and individualized cognitive behavior. Current strategies to recognize cognitive emotions frequently fail to capture complex time dependencies and multimodal physiological reactions, leading to sub-optimal performance and inaccurate generalization. To overcome such shortcomings, the proposed study suggests TCADNet, a new deep learning model that integrates Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCN), attention-based feature weighting, and GAN-based data augmentation to achieve a high recognition rate of the emotional states through EEG and fNIRS recordings. The model utilizes the TCNs to extract both short-term and long-term temporal trends, and the attention mechanism emphasizes salient parts that bring about emotions, which improves interpretability. Moreover, a Deep Convolutional GAN creates artificial signals of unrepresented emotion classes, eliminating data imbalance and enhancing generalization. The TCADNet model is coded in Python on the TensorFlow/Keras system, and its key components are preprocessing, time modeling, attention weighting, data augmentation, and last classification by SoftMax layers. Experimental outcomes indicate that TCADNet has high recognition performance, with overall recognition, accuracy, precision, and recall, and F1-scores of over 98, which is higher than conventional CNN, LSTM, and separate TCN models. The suggested methodology can be useful to researchers, clinicians, and mental health professionals as it allows them to monitor cognitive and emotional conditions in real-time with a reliable, decipherable, and scalable instrument and provides an opportunity to detect and respond to the issue promptly and implement a tailored intervention plan in educational or health-related settings.
Designing Adaptive Lightweight Encryption Protocols for Secure Multi-Device Communication in Resource-Constrained IoT Architectures Vishakha D Bhandarkar, Subhasis Patra, Naveen Malik, Al-Hussein Maysir Majid, D. Jyothi Preshiya, B Kiran Bala 6th Biennial International Conference on Nascent Technologies in Engineering Icnte 2026, 2026 The proliferation of IoT devices presents security considerations due to the limited resources available to provide efficient communication. The purpose of this research is to come up with a secure and practical encryption architecture specific to the multi-device IoT systems. As compared to the static approaches, the presented way adjusts the encryption according to the parameters of the device in real-time. The ALiGKM framework combines adaptive and lightweight security with scalable group key management to tackle the changing resource constraints in the system on the one hand and on the other hand to provide inter-device communication security. Using the UNSW-NB15 dataset, the framework was able to score an accuracy of 98.67% with minimal encryption time, memory, CPU and energy consumption. The findings validate that ALiGKM is a strong and effective implementation of the secure access of resource-restricted IoT environments with low overheads and customization.
Leveraging LSTM-Driven Predictive Analytics for Resource Allocation and Cost Efficiency Optimization in Project Management G. Gokul Kumari, Shokhjakhon Abdufattokhov, Sanjit Singh, Guru Basava Aradhya S, T L Deepika Roy, Yousef A.Baker El-Ebiary, Elangovan Muniyandy, B Kiran Bala International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, 2025 Resource planning and cost optimization are essential elements of effective project management. Conventional models are weak in changing environments because they cannot keep pace with intricate task interdependencies and changing project constraints. To overcome such weaknesses, this research envisions an LSTM-based predictive analytics model that deploys temporal trends and past project information for precise predictions of task duration, resource allocations, and possible delays. The proposed method combines sequential data modeling with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, along with data preprocessing and optimization, to enhance project scheduling and cost control decision-making. With TensorFlow implementation, the proposed LSTM-PRO model resulted in a Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 0.0025, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 0.05, and an R² score of 0.96, which was far better than ARIMA and other baseline models. The model resulted in a cost saving of 20% on project costs and 20% rise in resource utilization from 65% to 85%. The outcome proves the effectiveness and applicability of the model in actual project settings.
Android Malware Detection via Hybrid Lion-Bee Optimization with Bi-Directional Recurrent Neural Network Sivaram Rajeyyagari, Mohamed Ahmed Elfaki, Khan Asif Rashid, B Kiran Bala, Omar Reyad 3rd International Conference on Integrated Circuits and Communication Systems Icicacs 2025, 2025 The number of malicious programs that target the Android OS has significantly expanded with the rise in mobile device usage. It is crucial to identify, prevent, and defeat Android malware assaults since they have long presented a severe threat to Android apps. The emergence of secure Android app ecosystem depends on recognizing and classifying harmful applications into groups are similar to another. Malware families can be categorized in order to recognize harmful activity and to systematically spot dangerous-patterns. Thus, the study suggests a hybrid strategy that combines the attributes discovered from doing static and dynamic malware assessment for enhanced identification and categorization of Android malware. This method more effectively addresses the issue of studying, identifying Android malware. The feature extracted from image sections utilizing the hybrid lion and artificial bee colony (HL-ABC) optimization. RNN were used to classify the retrieved features. Each segment of a malware image file served as a test case for the categorization performance. This is contrasted with other current ways to show the effectiveness of the suggested strategy. Comparing the suggested model to other approaches, the study's findings demonstrate its effectiveness in identifying and classifying Android malware.
Predicting Tax Defaults Through Feature Transformation and XGBoost Optimization Vinod Waiker, Malik Bader Alazzam, Sakar Fatah Sulaiman, Deepak Gupta, Himanshu Gohokar, B Kiran Bala Proceedings of 2025 3rd International Conference on Intelligent Systems Advanced Computing and Communication Isacc 2025, 2025 This study focuses on predicting tax defaults using advanced machine learning techniques, specifically Feature Transformation and XGBoost Optimization. Accurate prediction of tax defaults is crucial for improving tax collection efficiency and minimizing revenue losses. The analysis begins with data collection from the Kaggle Individual Income Tax Statistics dataset, which includes detailed taxpayer income, deductions, and credits. To enhance the predictive power of the model, Min-Max Normalization is applied to ensure all features are scaled uniformly, preventing larger values from dominating the model’s learning process. Following normalization, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is utilized to reduce dimensionality by extracting the most significant features, which helps in simplifying the dataset while preserving essential information. XGBoost, a powerful gradient boosting algorithm, is then employed for predicting tax defaults. XGBoost’s strength lies in its ability to handle complex relationships between features and mitigate issues like overfitting and data imbalance, which are common in tax default datasets where the majority of taxpayers do not default. The model is fine-tuned through hyperparameter optimization to further improve prediction accuracy. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of combining feature transformation techniques with XGBoost to create a robust and scalable solution for tax default prediction. Feature importance analysis is also conducted to identify key drivers of tax defaults, providing valuable insights for tax authorities to implement preemptive measures. The proposed method is implemented in Python and has an accuracy of about 98.96% which is superior than BiLSTM, LSTM and CNN.
