New TSK fuzzy framework achieves 99.95% accuracy in phishing detection

Researchers have developed a new phishing detection system using a Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy inference model. This model is optimized with gradient-based techniques, specifically the Adam optimizer, to combine the interpretability of fuzzy logic with the precision of gradient optimization. Experiments on over 235,000 URLs showed a 99.95% accuracy and a perfect AUC score, demonstrating the framework's effectiveness and explainability for cybersecurity applications. AI

IMPACT Offers a highly accurate and interpretable solution for cybersecurity, potentially improving defenses against sophisticated phishing attacks.
