On-Device Interpretable Tsetlin Machine-Based Intrusion Detection for Secure IoMT

The rapid evolution of digital health technologies is redefining healthcare services worldwide. The integration of wireless communication and Internet-enabled medical devices within Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) networks enables continuous, real-time patient monitoring. However, this increased connectivity raises cybersecurity and patient safety risks due to increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. This paper proposes a novel on-device, interpretable Tsetlin Machine (TM)-based Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to identify various phases of cyberattacks in IoMT environments. The TM is a rule-driven and transparent machine learning (ML) approach that represents attack patterns using propositional logic. Extensive evaluations on the MedSec-25 dataset, encompassing various phases of realistic cyberattacks, show that the proposed model outperforms ML models and state-of-the-art methods, attaining a classification performance of 97.83\%. Moreover, the proposed model offers explicit explanations of its decisions to enhance transparency using feature-level contributions, class-wise vote scores, and clause activation heatmaps. Edge deployment (Raspberry Pi) further supports real-time on-device inference and intrusion detection. The combination of interpretability and high performance makes the proposed model well-suited for IoMT healthcare, where trust, reliability, safety, and timely decision-making are critical.

A Contrastive Learning Scheme with Transformer Innate Patches

This paper presents Contrastive Transformer, a contrastive learning scheme using the Transformer innate patches. Contrastive Transformer enables existing contrastive learning techniques, often used for image classification, to benefit dense downstream prediction tasks such as semantic segmentation. The scheme performs supervised patch-level contrastive learning, selecting the patches based on the ground truth mask, subsequently used for hard-negative and hard-positive sampling. The scheme applies to all vision-transformer architectures, is easy to implement, and introduces minimal additional memory footprint. Additionally, the scheme removes the need for huge batch sizes, as each patch is treated as an image. We apply and test Contrastive Transformer for the case of aerial image segmentation, known for low-resolution data, large class imbalance, and similar semantic classes. We perform extensive experiments to show the efficacy of the Contrastive Transformer scheme on the ISPRS Potsdam aerial image segmentation dataset. Additionally, we show the generalizability of our scheme by applying it to multiple inherently different Transformer architectures. Ultimately, the results show a consistent increase in mean IoU across all classes.

Adaptive Task Assignment in Online Learning Environments

With the increasing popularity of online learning, intelligent tutoring systems are regaining increased attention. In this paper, we introduce adaptive algorithms for personalized assignment of learning tasks to student so that to improve his performance in online learning environments. As main contribution of this paper, we propose a a novel Skill-Based Task Selector (SBTS) algorithm which is able to approximate a student's skill level based on his performance and consequently suggest adequate assignments. The SBTS is inspired by the class of multi-armed bandit algorithms. However, in contrast to standard multi-armed bandit approaches, the SBTS aims at acquiring two criteria related to student learning, namely: which topics should the student work on, and what level of difficulty should the task be. The SBTS centers on innovative reward and punishment schemes in a task and skill matrix based on the student behaviour. To verify the algorithm, the complex student behaviour is modelled using a neighbour node selection approach based on empirical estimations of a students learning curve. The algorithm is evaluated with a practical scenario from a basic java programming course. The SBTS is able to quickly and accurately adapt to the composite student competency --- even with a multitude of student models.
