    A predicting phishing websites using support vector machine and multi-class classification based on association rule techniques
    (2018-06) Woods, N. C.; Agada, V. E.; Ojo, A. K.
    Phishing is a semantic attack which targets the user rather than the computer. It is a new Internet crime in comparison with other forms such as virus and hacking. Considering the damage phishing websites has caused to various economies by collapsing organizations, stealing information and financial diversion, various researchers have embarked on different ways of detecting phishing websites but there has been no agreement about the best algorithm to be used for prediction. This study is interested in integrating the strengths of two algorithms, Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Multi-Class Classification Rules based on Association Rules (MCAR) to establish a strong and better means of predicting phishing websites. A total of 11,056 websites were used from both PhishTank and yahoo directory to verify the effectiveness of this approach. Feature extraction and rules generation were done by the MCAR technique; classification and prediction were done by SVM technique. The result showed that the technique achieved 98.30% classification accuracy with a computation time of 2205.33s with minimum error rate. It showed a total of 98% Area under the Curve (AUC) which showed the proportion of accuracy in classifying phishing websites. The model showed 82.84% variance in the prediction of phishing websites based on the coefficient of determination. The use of two techniques together in detecting phishing websites produced a more accurate result as it combined the strength of both techniques respectively. This research work centralized on this advantage by building a hybrid of two techniques to help produce a more accurate result.

    Knowledge discovery in academic electronic resources using text mining
    (2013-02) Ojo, A. K.; Adeyemo, A. B.
    Academic resources documents contain important knowledge and research results. They have highly quality information. However, they are lengthy and have much noisy results such that it takes a lot of human efforts to analyse. Text mining could be used to analyse these textual documents and extract useful information from large amount of documents quickly and automatically. In this paper, abstracts of electronic publications from African Journal of Computing and ICTs, an IEEE Nigerian Computer Chapter Publication were analysed using text mining techniques. A text mining model was developed and was used to analyse the abstracts collected. The texts were transformed into structured data in frequency form, cleaned up and the documents split into series of word features (adjectives, verbs, adverbs, nouns) and the necessary words were extracted from the documents. The corpus collected had 1637 words. The word features were then analysed by classifying and clustering them. The text mining model developed is capable of mining texts from academic electronic resources thereby identifying the weak and strong issues in those publications.
