PhishGuard: A Multi-Layered Ensemble Model for Optimal Phishing Website Detection

Phishing attacks are a growing cybersecurity threat, leveraging deceptive techniques to steal sensitive information through malicious websites. To combat these attacks, this paper introduces PhishGuard, an optimal custom ensemble model designed to improve phishing site detection. The model combines multiple machine learning classifiers, including Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, CatBoost, and XGBoost, to enhance detection accuracy. Through advanced feature selection methods such as SelectKBest and RFECV, and optimizations like hyperparameter tuning and data balancing, the model was trained and evaluated on four publicly available datasets. PhishGuard outperformed state-of-the-art models, achieving a detection accuracy of 99.05% on one of the datasets, with similarly high results across other datasets. This research demonstrates that optimization methods in conjunction with ensemble learning greatly improve phishing detection performance.

Synthetic Error Dataset Generation Mimicking Bengali Writing Pattern

While writing Bengali using English keyboard, users often make spelling mistakes. The accuracy of any Bengali spell checker or paragraph correction module largely depends on the kind of error dataset it is based on. Manual generation of such error dataset is a cumbersome process. In this research, We present an algorithm for automatic misspelled Bengali word generation from correct word through analyzing Bengali writing pattern using QWERTY layout English keyboard. As part of our analysis, we have formed a list of most commonly used Bengali words, phonetically similar replaceable clusters, frequently mispressed replaceable clusters, frequently mispressed insertion prone clusters and some rules for Juktakkhar (constant letter clusters) handling while generating errors.

A Hybrid Approach Towards Two Stage Bengali Question Classification Utilizing Smart Data Balancing Technique

Question classification (QC) is the primary step of the Question Answering (QA) system. Question Classification (QC) system classifies the questions in particular classes so that Question Answering (QA) System can provide correct answers for the questions. Our system categorizes the factoid type questions asked in natural language after extracting features of the questions. We present a two stage QC system for Bengali. It utilizes one dimensional convolutional neural network for classifying questions into coarse classes in the first stage. Word2vec representation of existing words of the question corpus have been constructed and used for assisting 1D CNN. A smart data balancing technique has been employed for giving data hungry convolutional neural network the advantage of a greater number of effective samples to learn from. For each coarse class, a separate Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) based classifier has been used in order to differentiate among the finer classes within that coarse class. TF-IDF representation of each word has been used as feature for the SGD classifiers implemented as part of second stage classification. Experiments show the effectiveness of our proposed method for Bengali question classification.

A Comprehensive Comparison of Machine Learning Based Methods Used in Bengali Question Classification

QA classification system maps questions asked by humans to an appropriate answer category. A sound question classification (QC) system model is the pre-requisite of a sound QA system. This work demonstrates phases of assembling a QA type classification model. We present a comprehensive comparison (performance and computational complexity) among some machine learning based approaches used in QC for Bengali language.
