    An Analysis on Different Distance Measures in KNN with PCA for Android Malware Detection
    (IEEE, 2022-11-30) Dissanayake, S; Gunathunga, S; Jayanetti, D; Perera, K; Liyanapathirana, C; Rupasinghe, L
    As Majority of the market is presently occupied by Android consumers, Android operating system is a prominent target for intruders. This research shows a dynamic Android malware detection approach that classifies dangerous and trustworthy applications using system call monitoring. While the applications were in the execution phase, dynamic system call analysis was conducted on legitimate and malicious applications. Majority of relevant machine learning-based studies on detecting android malware frequently employ baseline classifier settings and concentrate on selecting either the best attributes or classifier. This study examines the performance of K Nearest Neighbor (KNN), factoring its many hyper-parameters with a focus on various distance metrics and this paper shows performance of KNN before and after performing Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The findings demonstrate that the classification performance may be significantly improved by using the adequate distance metric. KNN algorithm shows decent accuracy and improvement of efficiency such as decreasing the training time After PCA.

    Supply and Demand Planning of Electricity Power: A Comprehensive Solution
    (IEEE, 2019-12-06) Perera, S; Dissanayake, S; Fernando, D; De Silva, S; Rankothge, W
    Electrical energy is one of the fastest growing energy demands in the world. Uncertainty in supplying the demand can threaten the social economic aspects of a country. The biggest driver of electrical demand is weather. Climatic changes not only affect the demand but also renewable energy supply. Wind and Solar are two alternative energy sources with less pollution. We have proposed a platform which helps energy providers, energy traders with services related to electricity supply and demand planning, with following modules. (1) Forecasting electricity consumption patterns (2) Forecasting wind power generation (3) Optimizing Load Shedding. Our platform has been implemented using statistical and machine learning techniques: Multi-Linear Regression for consumption prediction, Random forest regression for wind power forecast, and genetic algorithm to optimize load shedding. Our results show that, using our proposed module, we can minimize the imbalance between the supply and demand of electricity by predicting the consumption patterns of consumers, predicting the wind power generation and by selecting the best feeder to be selected for load shedding under given constraints.
