| 2023 | Deep learning, radiomics and radiogenomics applications in the digital breast tomosynthesis: a systematic reviewabstractBACKGROUND: Recent advancements in computing power and state-of-the-art algorithms have helped in more accessible and accurate diagnosis of numerous diseases. In addition, the development of de novo areas in imaging science, such as radiomics and radiogenomics, have been adding more to personalize healthcare to stratify patients better. These techniques associate imaging phenotypes with the related disease genes. Various imaging modalities have been used for years to diagnose breast cancer. Nonetheless, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), a state-of-the-art technique, has produced promising results comparatively. DBT, a 3D mammography, is replacing conventional 2D mammography rapidly. This technological advancement is key to AI algorithms for accurately interpreting medical images. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS: This paper presents a comprehensive review of deep learning (DL), radiomics and radiogenomics in breast image analysis. This review focuses on DBT, its extracted synthetic mammography (SM), and full-field digital mammography (FFDM). Furthermore, this survey provides systematic knowledge about DL, radiomics, and radiogenomics for beginners and advanced-level researchers. RESULTS: A total of 500 articles were identified, with 30 studies included as the set criteria. Parallel benchmarking of radiomics, radiogenomics, and DL models applied to the DBT images could allow clinicians and researchers alike to have greater awareness as they consider clinical deployment or development of new models. This review provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the current state of early breast cancer detection using DBT images. CONCLUSION: Using this survey, investigators with various backgrounds can easily seek interdisciplinary science and new DL, radiomics, and radiogenomics directions towards DBT.

| 2023 | A Smart Digital Twin Enabled Security Framework for Vehicle-to-Grid Cyber-Physical SystemsabstractThe rapid growth of electric vehicle (EV) penetration has led to more flexible and reliable vehicle-to-grid-enabled cyber-physical systems (V2G-CPSs). However, the increasing system complexity also makes them more vulnerable to cyber-physical threats. Coordinated cyber attacks (CCAs) have emerged as a major concern, requiring effective detection and mitigation strategies within V2G-CPSs. Digital twin (DT) technologies have shown promise in mitigating system complexity and providing diverse functionalities for complex tasks such as system monitoring, analysis, and optimal control. This paper presents a resilient and secure framework for CCA detection and mitigation in V2G-CPSs, leveraging a smart DT-enabled approach. The framework introduces a smarter DT orchestrator that utilizes long short-term memory (LSTM) based actor-critic deep reinforcement learning (LSTM-DRL) in the DT virtual replica. The LSTM algorithm estimates the system states, which are then used by the DRL network to detect CCAs and take appropriate actions to minimize their impact. To validate the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed smart DT framework, case studies are conducted on an IEEE 30 bus system-based V2G-CPS, considering different CCA types such as malicious V2G node or control command attacks. The results demonstrate that the framework is capable of accurately estimating system states, detecting various CCAs, and mitigating the impact of attacks within 5 seconds.

| 2023 | Federated Learning for Privacy Preservation in Smart Healthcare Systems: A Comprehensive SurveyabstractRecent advances in electronic devices and communication infrastructure have revolutionized the traditional healthcare system into a smart healthcare system by using internet of medical things (IoMT) devices. However, due to the centralized training approach of artificial intelligence (AI), mobile and wearable IoMT devices raise privacy issues concerning the information communicated between hospitals and end-users. The information conveyed by the IoMT devices is highly confidential and can be exposed to adversaries. In this regard, federated learning (FL), a distributive AI paradigm, has opened up new opportunities for privacy preservation in IoMT without accessing the confidential data of the participants. Further, FL provides privacy to end-users as only gradients are shared during training. For these specific properties of FL, in this paper, we present privacy-related issues in IoMT. Afterwards, we present the role of FL in IoMT networks for privacy preservation and introduce some advanced FL architectures by incorporating deep reinforcement learning (DRL), digital twin, and generative adversarial networks (GANs) for detecting privacy threats. Moreover, we present some practical opportunities for FL in IoMT. In the end, we conclude this survey by discussing open research issues and challenges while using FL in future smart healthcare systems.

| 2021 | Vulnerability Assessment of 6G-Enabled Smart Grid Cyber-Physical SystemsabstractNext-generation wireless communication and networking technologies, such as sixth-generation (6G) networks and software-defined Internet of Things (SDIoT), make cyber-physical systems (CPSs) more vulnerable to cyberattacks. In such massively connected CPSs, an intruder can trigger a cyberattack in the form of false data injection, which can lead to system instability. To address this issue, we propose a graphics-processing-unit-enabled adaptive robust state estimator. It comprises a deep learning algorithm, long short-term memory, and a nonlinear extended Kalman filter, and is called LSTMKF. Through an SDIoT controller, it provides an online parametric state estimate. The reliability is improved by performing two levels of online parametric state estimation for secure communication and load management. The CPS under study is a 6G and SDIoT-enabled smart grid, which is tested on IEEE 14, 30, and 118 bus systems. Compared to existing techniques, the proposed algorithm is able to estimate the state variables of the system even during or after a cyberattack, with lower time complexity and high accuracy.

| 2021 | Load Forecasting Through Estimated Parametrized Based Fuzzy Inference System in Smart GridsabstractFor optimal utilization of power generation resources, load forecasting plays a vital role in balancing the load flow in a power distribution network. There are several drawbacks associated with existing forecasting techniques for load flow balancing. Neural network (NN) based forecasting techniques are unable to consider the actual states of a power system, while weighted least squares state estimation (WLS) fails to counter nonlinearity in the demand profile. In this article, a hybrid approach is proposed for short term load forecasting. The hybrid technique, comprised of a WLS, NN, and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), is termed WLANFIS. ANFIS itself is the combination of an NN and fuzzy logic. It takes a refined data set obtained through NN and WLS, which helps in determining the optimal number and types of membership functions. It also helps in determining the effective fuzzy set ranges for an individual membership function that is used by the fuzzy system. WLS provides estimated states in the real-world scenario while the NN models the nonlinearity in the demand profile and is tested on IEEE 14 and 30 bus systems as well on real-world data sets. Results show that the proposed algorithm has a higher generalization capability and provides accurate forecasting results even in the case of medium-term load forecasting. It outperforms other methodologies by achieving a mean absolute percentage error as low as 2.66%. Mansoor Ali, Muhammad Adnan 0005, Muhammad Tariq 0001, H. Vincent Poor |
