Hybrid Machine Learning Framework for Herd-Level Cattle Growth Pattern and Weight Gain Forecasting in Grazing-Based Production Systems
Muhammad Riaz Hasib Hossain, Rafiqul Islam, Shawn R. McGrath +2
Commercial grazing systems yield irregular livestock observations, which challenge cattle growth forecasting. This study developed a hybrid machine learning framework for herd leve…
Open-World Darknet Traffic Recognition Under Leave-One-Service-Out Evaluation
Javeriah Saleem, Rafiqul Islam, Md Zahidul Islam
Darknet traffic recognition is critical for cyber threat intelligence, as anonymity networks are often used to conceal malicious activity. However, most existing studies rely on cl…
Behavioral Information Leakage in Darknet Traffic: A Multi-Channel Analysis Across Anonymity Networks
Javeriah Saleem, Rafiqul Islam, Md Zahidul Islam
Existing darknet traffic classification studies largely emphasize predictive accuracy while offering limited insight into the behavioral mechanisms that make encrypted services dis…
SA-DRL: Security-Aware Deep Reinforcement Learning for Ransomware Detection with Asymmetric Reward Design
Jannatul Ferdous, Rafiqul Islam, Md Zahidul Islam
Ransomware detection is a security-critical task in which false negatives and false positives have unequal operational consequences. Conventional machine learning detectors often u…
Auditable Machine Unlearning for Privacy-Compliant Ransomware Detection Using Multi-Shard SISA and Deep Reinforcement Learning
Jannatul Ferdous, Rafiqul Islam, Md Zahidul Islam
Ransomware poses an escalating cybersecurity threat as attackers continuously modify behavioral patterns to evade static defenses. Although existing machine learning-based detector…
Privacy-Aware Machine Unlearning with SISA for Reinforcement Learning-Based Ransomware Detection
Jannatul Ferdous, Rafiqul Islam, Md Zahidul Islam
Ransomware detection systems increasingly rely on behavior-based machine learning to address evolving attack strategies. However, emerging privacy compliance, data governance, and…
