Intrusion Detection with Interpretable Rules Generated Using the Tsetlin Machine

2020

The rapid deployment in information and communication technologies and internet-based services have made anomaly based network intrusion detection ever so important for safeguarding systems from novel attack vectors. To this date, various machine learning mechanisms have been considered to build intrusion detection systems. However, achieving an acceptable level of classification accuracy while preserving the interpretability of the classification has always been a challenge. In this paper, we propose an efficient anomaly based intrusion detection mechanism based on the Tsetlin Machine (TM). We have evaluated the proposed mechanism over the Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining 1999 (KDD’99) …

Artificial Neural Networks in Sports: New Concepts and Approaches

2001

Artificial neural networks are tools, which - similar to natural neural networks - can learn to recognize and classify patterns, and so can help to optimise context depending acting. These abilitie...

Efficient MLP Digital Implementation on FPGA

2005

The efficiency and the accuracy of a digital feed-forward neural networks must be optimized to obtain both high classification rate and minimum area on chip. In this paper an efficient MLP digital implementation. The key features of the hardware implementation are the virtual neuron based architecture and the use of the sinusoidal activation function for the hidden layer. The effectiveness of the proposed solutions has been evaluated developing different FPGA based neural prototypes for the High Energy Physics domain and the automatic Road Sign Recognition domain. The use of the sinusoidal activation function decreases hardware resource employment of about 32% when compared with the standar…

A spiking network for body size learning inspired by the fruit fly

2013

The concept of peripersonal space is an interesting research topics for psychologists, neurobiologists and for robotic applications. A living being can learn the representation of its own body to take the correct behavioral decision when interacting with the world. To transfer these important learning mechanisms on bio-robots, simple and efficient solutions can be found in the insect world. In this paper a neural-based model for body-size learning is proposed taking into account the results obtained in experiments with fruit flies. Simulations and experimental results on a roving platform are reported and compared with the biological counterpart.

Connectionist models of face processing: A survey

1994

Abstract Connectionist models of face recognition, identification, and categorization have appeared recently in several disciplines, including psychology, computer science, and engineering. We present a review of these models with the goal of complementing a recent survey by Samal and Iyengar [Pattern Recognition25, 65–77 (1992)] of nonconnectionist approaches to the problem of the automatic face recognition. We concentrate on models that use linear autoassociative networks, nonlinear autoassociative (or compression) and/or heteroassociative backpropagation networks. One advantage of these models over some nonconnectionist approaches is that analyzable features emerge naturally from image-b…

Automatic Identification of Watermarks and Watermarking Robustness Using Machine Learning Techniques

2021

The goal of this article is to propose a framework for automatic identification of watermarks from modified host images. The framework can be used with any watermark embedding/extraction system and is based on models built using machine learning (ML) techniques. Any supervised ML approach can be theoretically chosen. An important part of our framework consists in building a stand-alone module, independent of the watermarking system, for generating two types of watermarks datasets. The first type of datasets, that we will name artificially datasets, is generated from the original images by adding noise with an imposed maximum level of noise. The second type contains altered watermarked image…

Improving the Competency of Classifiers through Data Generation

2001

This paper describes a hybrid approach in which sub-symbolic neural networks and symbolic machine learning algorithms are grouped into an ensemble of classifiers. Initially each classifier determines which portion of the data it is most competent in. The competency information is used to generated new data that are used for further training and prediction. The application of this approach in a difficult to learn domain shows an increase in the predictive power, in terms of the accuracy and level of competency of both the ensemble and the component classifiers.

Neural network prediction in a system for optimizing simulations

2002

Neural networks have been widely used for both prediction and classification. Back-propagation is commonly used for training neural networks, although the limitations associated with this technique are well documented. Global search techniques such as simulated annealing, genetic algorithms and tabu search have also been used for this purpose. The developers of these training methods, however, have focused on accuracy rather than training speed in order to assess the merit of new proposals. While speed is not important in settings where training can be done off-line, the situation changes when the neural network must be trained and used on-line. This is the situation when a neural network i…

Clustering Quality and Topology Preservation in Fast Learning SOMs

2008

The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) is a popular unsupervised neural network able to provide effective clustering and data visualization for data represented in multidimensional input spaces. In this paper, we describe Fast Learning SOM (FLSOM) which adopts a learning algorithm that improves the performance of the standard SOM with respect to the convergence time in the training phase. We show that FLSOM also improves the quality of the map by providing better clustering quality and topology preservation of multidimensional input data. Several tests have been carried out on different multidimensional datasets, which demonstrate better performances of the algorithm in comparison with the original …
