In today’s society, investment wealth management has become a mainstream of the contemporary era. Investment wealth management refers to the use of funds by investors to arrange funds reasonably, for example, savings, bank financial products, bonds, stocks, commodity spots, real estate, gold, art, and many others. Wealth management tools manage and assign families, individuals, enterprises, and institutions to achieve the purpose of increasing and maintaining value to accelerate asset growth. Among them, in investment and financial management, people’s favorite product of investment often stocks, because the stock market has great advantages and charm, especially compared with other investment methods. More and more scholars have developed methods of prediction from multiple angles for the stock market. According to the feature of financial time series and the task of price prediction, this article proposes a new framework structure to achieve a more accurate prediction of the stock price, which combines Convolution Neural Network (CNN) and Long–Short-Term Memory Neural Network (LSTM). This new method is aptly named stock sequence array convolutional LSTM (SACLSTM). It constructs a sequence array of historical data and its leading indicators (options and futures), and uses the array as the input image of the CNN framework, and extracts certain feature vectors through the convolutional layer and the layer of pooling, and as the input vector of LSTM, and takes ten stocks in U.S.A and Taiwan as the experimental data. Compared with previous methods, the prediction performance of the proposed algorithm in this article leads to better results when compared directly.

The human pose estimation is a significant issue that has been taken into consideration in the computer vision network for recent decades. It is a vital advance toward understanding individuals in videos and still images. In simple terms, a human pose estimation model takes in an image or video and estimates the position of a person’s skeletal joints in either 2D or 3D space. Several studies on human posture estimation can be found in the literature, however, they center around a specific class; for instance, model-based methodologies or human movement investigation, and so on. Later, various Deep Learning (DL) algorithms came into existence to overcome the difficulties which were there in the earlier approaches. In this study, an exhaustive review of human pose estimation (HPE), including milestone work and recent advancements is carried out. This survey discusses the different two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional human (3D) pose estimation techniques along with their classical and deep learning approaches which provide the solution to the various computer vision problems. Moreover, the paper also considers the different deep learning models used in pose estimation, and the analysis of 2D and 3D datasets is done. Some of the evaluation metrics used for estimating human poses are also discussed here. By knowing the direction of the individuals, HPE opens a road for a few real-life applications some of which are talked about in this study.

Medical images are processed using these DL methods to solve various tasks like prediction, segmentation, and classification with accuracy bypassing human abilities. However, the current DL models have some limitations that encourage the researchers to seek further improvement.

To enhance the security of single-chaotic systems, we propose a novel image encryption cryptosystem based on true random numbers and chaotic systems. First, we select any one of several chaotic systems. Next, the hash function is used to calculate the initial value of the chaotic system using a plaintext image. Then, we obtain a solution of this chaotic system and use the k-medoids clustering machine-learning algorithm and chaotic sequence to scramble the original image. Finally, new random numbers obtained using a chaotic signal and true random numbers are used to perform the exclusive-OR operator on the scrambled results. To illustrate the effectiveness of our method, a one-dimensional (1D) logistic chaotic system is selected for image encryption. The simulation results show that compared with the existing models, such as image encryption based on chaos and image encryption based on the advanced encryption standar (AES), our method is simpler with a higher security and resists different classical attacks.

Cyberbullying is disturbing and troubling online misconduct. It appears in various forms and is usually in a textual format in most social networks. Intelligent systems are necessary for automated detection of these incidents. Some of the recent experiments have tackled this issue with traditional machine learning models. Most of the models have been applied to one social network at a time. The latest research has seen different models based on deep learning algorithms make an impact on the detection of cyberbullying. These detection mechanisms have resulted in efficient identification of incidences while others have limitations of standard identification versions. This paper performs an empirical analysis to determine the effectiveness and performance of deep learning algorithms in detecting insults in Social Commentary. The following four deep learning models were used for experimental results, namely: Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BLSTM), Gated Recurrent Units (GRU), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). Data pre-processing steps were followed that included text cleaning, tokenization, stemming, Lemmatization, and removal of stop words. After performing data pre-processing, clean textual data is passed to deep learning algorithms for prediction. The results show that the BLSTM model achieved high accuracy and F 1-measure scores in comparison to RNN, LSTM, and GRU. Our in-depth results shown which deep learning models can be most effective against cyberbullying when directly compared with others and paves the way for future hybrid technologies that may be employed to combat this serious online issue.
