Nowadays, hand gestures have become a booming area for researchers to work on. In communication, hand gestures play an important role so that humans can communicate through this. So, for accurate communication, it is necessary to capture the real meaning behind any hand gesture so that an appropriate response can be sent back. The correct prediction of gestures is a priority for meaningful communication, which will also enhance human–computer interactions. So, there are several techniques, classifiers, and methods available to improve this gesture recognition. In this research, analysis was conducted on some of the most popular classification techniques such as Naïve Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), random forest, XGBoost, Support vector classifier (SVC), logistic regression, Stochastic Gradient Descent Classifier (SGDC), and Convolution Neural Networks (CNN). By performing an analysis and comparative study on classifiers for gesture recognition, we found that the sign language MNIST dataset and random forest outperform traditional machine-learning classifiers, such as SVC, SGDC, KNN, Naïve Bayes, XG Boost, and logistic regression, predicting more accurate results. Still, the best results were obtained by the CNN algorithm.

In today’s cyber world, the demand for the internet is increasing day by day, increasing the concern of network security. The aim of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is to provide approaches against many fast-growing network attacks (e.g., DDoS attack, Ransomware attack, Botnet attack, etc.), as it blocks the harmful activities occurring in the network system. In this work, three different classification machine learning algorithms—Naïve Bayes (NB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and K-nearest neighbor (KNN)—were used to detect the accuracy and reducing the processing time of an algorithm on the UNSW-NB15 dataset and to find the best-suited algorithm which can efficiently learn the pattern of the suspicious network activities. The data gathered from the feature set comparison was then applied as input to IDS as data feeds to train the system for future intrusion behavior prediction and analysis using the best-fit algorithm chosen from the above three algorithms based on the performance metrics found. Also, the classification reports (Precision, Recall, and F1-score) and confusion matrix were generated and compared to finalize the support-validation status found throughout the testing phase of the model used in this approach.
