The rapid accumulation of large-scale, long-term meteorological data presents unprecedented opportunities for data-driven weather modeling and high-resolution atmospheric prediction. While various deep learning techniques-such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs)-have been explored for weather forecasting, the complex spatial dependencies within historical meteorological data, particularly dynamic spatial correlations among distributed observation stations, remain insufficiently addressed. To tackle this challenge, we propose a Dynamic Spatio-Temporal Fusion Graph Network (DSTFGN), a novel framework that integrates multivariate... More >

The concept of an Internet of Drones (IoD) is becoming increasingly important in various domains, including surveillance and logistics. Effective communication between the interconnected systems is the essence of the Internet of Drones, however, due to the resource constraints of drones and the dynamic nature of the operating environment, security of communication within IoD networks is indeed the top priority. Considering these challenges on the part of IoD communication, a novel Hyperelliptic Curve Cryptography (HECC)-based authentication protocol is proposed in this paper to secure the data exchange between drones and their control servers and to ensure efficient communication. The propos... More >

Traffic flow prediction is a critical component of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and smart city infrastructures. This survey paper provides a comprehensive analysis of recent advancements in deep learning-based approaches for traffic flow prediction, focusing on spatiotemporal correlations and attention mechanisms. We systematically review key representative works that propose innovative neural network architectures including DHSTNet, Att-DHSTNet, and ASTMGCNet for citywide traffic prediction. Our survey examines their methodologies, key contributions, experimental results, and comparative performance. We organize the discussion around three main themes: (1) modeling dynamic spati...

Stance detection identifies a text’s position or attitude toward a given subject. A major challenge in Roman Urdu is the lack of a publicly available dataset for political stance detection. To address this gap, we constructed a high-quality dataset of 8,374 political tweets and comments using the Twitter API, annotated with stance labels: agree, disagree, and unrelated. The dataset captures diverse political viewpoints and user interactions. For feature representation, we employed TF-IDF due to its effectiveness in handling high-dimensional, context-sensitive Roman Urdu text. Several machine learning classifiers were evaluated, with Random Forest achieving the highest accuracy of 95%. Addi... More >
