Anomaly‐based intrusion detection systems: The requirements, methods, measurements, and datasets

2021

International audience; With the Internet's unprecedented growth and nations' reliance on computer networks, new cyber‐attacks are created every day as means for achieving financial gain, imposing political agendas, and developing cyberwarfare arsenals. Network security is thus acquiring increasing attention among researchers, practitioners, network architects, policy makers, and others. To defend organizations' networks from existing, foreseen, and future threats, intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are becoming a must. Existing surveys on anomaly‐based IDS (AIDS) focus on specific components such as detection mechanisms and lack many others. In contrast to existing surveys, this article co…

Arbiter Meta-Learning with Dynamic Selection of Classifiers and its Experimental Investigation

1999

In data mining, the selection of an appropriate classifier to estimate the value of an unknown attribute for a new instance has an essential impact to the quality of the classification result. Recently promising approaches using parallel and distributed computing have been presented. In this paper, we consider an approach that uses classifiers trained on a number of data subsets in parallel as in the arbiter meta-learning technique. We suggest that information is collected during the learning phase about the performance of the included base classifiers and arbiters and that this information is used during the application phase to select the best classifier dynamically. We evaluate our techn…

Prediction of Temperature in Buildings Using Machine Learning Techniques

2017

Energy efficiency is a trend due to ecological and economic benefits. Within this field, energy efficiency in buildings sector constitutes one of the main concerns due to the fact that approximately 40% of total world energy consumption corresponds to this sector. Climate control in buildings has the potential to increase its energy efficiency planning strategies for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) machines. These planning strategies may include a stage for long term indoor temperature forecasting. This chapter entails the use of four prediction models (NAÏVE, MLR, MLP, FIS and ANFIS) to forecast temperature in an office building using a temporal horizon of several hour…

Using Attribute Grammars for Description of Inductive Inference Search Space

1998

The problem of practically feasible inductive inference of functions or other objects that can be described by means of an attribute grammar is studied in this paper. In our approach based on attribute grammars various kinds of knowledge about the object to be found can be encoded, ranging from usual input/output examples to assumptions about unknown object's syntactic structure to some dynamic object's properties. We present theoretical results as well as describe the architecture of a practical inductive synthesis system based on theoretical findings.

Text Classification Using Novel “Anti-Bayesian” Techniques

2015

This paper presents a non-traditional “Anti-Bayesian” solution for the traditional Text Classification (TC) problem. Historically, all the recorded TC schemes work using the fundamental paradigm that once the statistical features are inferred from the syntactic/semantic indicators, the classifiers themselves are the well-established statistical ones. In this paper, we shall demonstrate that by virtue of the skewed distributions of the features, one could advantageously work with information latent in certain “non-central” quantiles (i.e., those distant from the mean) of the distributions. We, indeed, demonstrate that such classifiers exist and are attainable, and show that the design and im…

Predictive and Contextual Feature Separation for Bayesian Metanetworks

2007

Bayesian Networks are proven to be a comprehensive model to describe causal relationships among domain attributes with probabilistic measure of conditional dependency. However, depending on a context, many attributes of the model might not be relevant. If a Bayesian Network has been learned across multiple contexts then all uncovered conditional dependencies are averaged over all contexts and cannot guarantee high predictive accuracy when applied to a concrete case. We are considering a context as a set of contextual attributes, which are not directly effect probability distribution of the target attributes, but they effect on "relevance" of the predictive attributes towards target attribut…

Prediction of Disease–lncRNA Associations via Machine Learning and Big Data Approaches

2021

This chapter introduces long non-coding RNAs and their role in the occurrence and progress of diseases. The discovery of novel lncRNA-disease associations may provide valuable input to the understanding of disease mechanisms at the lncRNA level, as well as to the detection of biomarkers for disease diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and prevention. Unfortunately, due to costs and time complexity, the number of possible disease-related lncRNAs verified by traditional biological experiments is very limited. Computational approaches for the prediction of potential disease-lncRNA associations can effectively decrease the time and cost of biological experiments. We first review the main computatio…

Experimental evaluation of topological-based fitness functions to detect complexes in PPI networks

2012

The detection of groups of proteins sharing common biological features is an important research issue, intensively investigated in the last few years, because of the insights it can give in understanding cell behavior. In this paper we present an extensive experimental evaluation campaign aiming at exploring the capability of Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to find clusters in protein-protein interaction networks, when different topological-based fitness functions are employed. A complete experimentation on the yeast protein-protein interaction network, along with a comparative evaluation of the effectiveness in detecting true complexes on the yeast and human networks, reveals GAs as a feasible an…
