Classification trees built with the Classification And Regression Tree algorithm were evaluated for modelling infrared spectroscopic data in order to discriminate between genuine and counterfeit drug samples and to classify counterfeit samples in different classes following the RIVM classification system. Models were built for two data sets consisting of the Fourier Transformed Infrared spectra, the near infrared spectra and the Raman spectra for genuine and counterfeit samples of respectively Viagra(®) and Cialis(®). Easy interpretable models were obtained for both models. The models were validated for their descriptive and predictive properties. The predictive properties were evaluated using both cross validation as an external validation set. The obtained models for both data sets showed a 100% correct classification for the discrimination between genuine and counterfeit samples and 83.3% and 100% correct classification for the counterfeit samples for the Viagra(®) and the Cialis(®) data set respectively.

Smartphone app expansion needs strict security measures to avoid fraud and danger. This study overcomes this issue by identifying apps differently. This new solution uses convolutional neural network (CNN), natural language processing (NLP), and the strong AppAuthentix Recommender algorithm to secure app stores and boost customer confidence in the digital marketplace.

Counterfeit pharmaceuticals are a subclass of falsified and substandard medicines. They are illicit products, purporting to be genuine medicines, that are made and sold by criminal organisations. They represent a significant risk to patient safety, as well as a financial and reputational threat to the companies who make the genuine medicines.

Substandard and falsified medical products for treating COVID-19 have spread worldwide. These medicines have entered Japan through personal importation of products purchased via the Internet. In this study, we investigated the circulation of 19 COVID-19-related medicines on the Internet in Japan and evaluated the pharmaceutical quality and authenticity of 2 medicines (dexamethasone tablets and ivermectin tablets) obtained online.

The pervasive spread of fake news in online social media has emerged as a critical threat to societal integrity and democratic processes. To address this pressing issue, this research harnesses the power of supervised AI algorithms aimed at classifying fake news with selected algorithms. Algorithms such as Passive Aggressive Classifier, perceptron, and decision stump undergo meticulous refinement for text classification tasks, leveraging 29 models trained on diverse social media datasets.
