IoT Anomaly Detection Methods and Applications: A Survey
Ongoing research on anomaly detection for the Internet of Things (IoT) is a
rapidly expanding field. This growth necessitates an examination of application
trends and current gaps. The vast majority of those publications are in areas
such as network and infrastructure security, sensor monitoring, smart home, and
smart city applications and are extending into even more sectors. Recent
advancements in the field have increased the necessity to study the many IoT
anomaly detection applications. This paper begins with a summary of the
detection methods and applications, accompanied by a discussion of the
categorization of IoT anomaly detection algorithms. We then discuss the current
publications to identify distinct application domains, examining papers chosen
based on our search criteria. The survey considers 64 papers among recent
publications published between January 2019 and July 2021. In recent
publications, we observed a shortage of IoT anomaly detection methodologies,
for example, when dealing with the integration of systems with various sensors,
data and concept drifts, and data augmentation where there is a shortage of
Ground Truth data. Finally, we discuss the present such challenges and offer
new perspectives where further research is required.Comment: 22 page
Artificial Intelligence based Anomaly Detection of Energy Consumption in Buildings: A Review, Current Trends and New Perspectives
Enormous amounts of data are being produced everyday by sub-meters and smart
sensors installed in residential buildings. If leveraged properly, that data
could assist end-users, energy producers and utility companies in detecting
anomalous power consumption and understanding the causes of each anomaly.
Therefore, anomaly detection could stop a minor problem becoming overwhelming.
Moreover, it will aid in better decision-making to reduce wasted energy and
promote sustainable and energy efficient behavior. In this regard, this paper
is an in-depth review of existing anomaly detection frameworks for building
energy consumption based on artificial intelligence. Specifically, an extensive
survey is presented, in which a comprehensive taxonomy is introduced to
classify existing algorithms based on different modules and parameters adopted,
such as machine learning algorithms, feature extraction approaches, anomaly
detection levels, computing platforms and application scenarios. To the best of
the authors' knowledge, this is the first review article that discusses anomaly
detection in building energy consumption. Moving forward, important findings
along with domain-specific problems, difficulties and challenges that remain
unresolved are thoroughly discussed, including the absence of: (i) precise
definitions of anomalous power consumption, (ii) annotated datasets, (iii)
unified metrics to assess the performance of existing solutions, (iv) platforms
for reproducibility and (v) privacy-preservation. Following, insights about
current research trends are discussed to widen the applications and
effectiveness of the anomaly detection technology before deriving future
directions attracting significant attention. This article serves as a
comprehensive reference to understand the current technological progress in
anomaly detection of energy consumption based on artificial intelligence.Comment: 11 Figures, 3 Table
Novel deep cross-domain framework for fault diagnosis or rotary machinery in prognostics and health management
Improving the reliability of engineered systems is a crucial problem in many applications in various engineering fields, such as aerospace, nuclear energy, and water declination industries. This requires efficient and effective system health monitoring methods, including processing and analyzing massive machinery data to detect anomalies and performing diagnosis and prognosis. In recent years, deep learning has been a fast-growing field and has shown promising results for Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) in interpreting condition monitoring signals such as vibration, acoustic emission, and pressure due to its capacity to mine complex representations from raw data. This doctoral research provides a systematic review of state-of-the-art deep learning-based PHM frameworks, an empirical analysis on bearing fault diagnosis benchmarks, and a novel multi-source domain adaptation framework. It emphasizes the most recent trends within the field and presents the benefits and potentials of state-of-the-art deep neural networks for system health management. Besides, the limitations and challenges of the existing technologies are discussed, which leads to opportunities for future research. The empirical study of the benchmarks highlights the evaluation results of the existing models on bearing fault diagnosis benchmark datasets in terms of various performance metrics such as accuracy and training time. The result of the study is very important for comparing or testing new models. A novel multi-source domain adaptation framework for fault diagnosis of rotary machinery is also proposed, which aligns the domains in both feature-level and task-level. The proposed framework transfers the knowledge from multiple labeled source domains into a single unlabeled target domain by reducing the feature distribution discrepancy between the target domain and each source domain. Besides, the model can be easily reduced to a single-source domain adaptation problem. Also, the model can be readily updated to unsupervised domain adaptation problems in other fields such as image classification and image segmentation. Further, the proposed model is modified with a novel conditional weighting mechanism that aligns the class-conditional probability of the domains and reduces the effect of irrelevant source domain which is a critical issue in multi-source domain adaptation algorithms. The experimental verification results show the superiority of the proposed framework over state-of-the-art multi-source domain-adaptation models

Machine Learning Methodologies For Low-Level Hardware-Based Malware Detection
Malicious software continues to be a pertinent threat to the security of critical infrastructures harboring sensitive information. The abundance in malware samples and the disclosure of newer vulnerability paths for exploitation necessitates intelligent machine learning techniques for effective and efficient malware detection and analysis. Software-based methods are suitable for in-depth forensic analysis, but their on-device implementations are slower and resource hungry. Alternatively, hardware-based approaches are emerging as an alternative approach against malware threats because of their trustworthiness, difficult evasion, and lower implementation costs. Modern processors have numerous hardware events such as power domains, voltage, frequency, accessible through software interfaces for performance monitoring and debugging. But, information leakage from these events are not explored for defenses against malware threats. This thesis demonstrates approach towards malware detection and analysis by leveraging low-level hardware signatures.
The proposed research aims to develop machine learning methodology for detecting malware applications, classifying malware family and detecting shellcode exploits from low-level power signatures and electromagnetic emissions. This includes 1) developing a signature based detector by extracting features from DVFS states and using ML model to distinguish malware application from benign. 2) developing ML model operating on frequency and wavelet features to classify malware behaviors using EM emissions. 3) developing an Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) model to detect anomalies in energy telemetry register values of malware infected application resulting from shellcode exploits. The evaluation of the proposed ML methodology on malware datasets indicate architecture-agnostic, pervasive, platform independent detectors that distinguishes malware against benign using DVFS signatures, classifies detected malware to characteristic family using EM signatures, and detect shellcode exploits on browser applications by identifying anomalies in energy telemetry register values using energy-based RBM model.Ph.D
