Automatic generation of fuzzy classification rules using granulation-based adaptive clustering
A central problem of fuzzy modelling is the generation of fuzzy rules that fit the data to the highest possible extent. In this study, we present a method for automatic generation of fuzzy rules from data. The main advantage of the proposed method is its ability to perform data clustering without the requirement of predefining any parameters including number of clusters. The proposed method creates data clusters at different levels of granulation and selects the best clustering results based on some measures. The proposed method involves merging clusters into new clusters that have a coarser granulation. To evaluate performance of the proposed method, three different datasets are used to compare performance of the proposed method to other classifiers: SVM classifier, FCM fuzzy classifier, subtractive clustering fuzzy classifier. Results show that the proposed method has better classification results than other classifiers for all the datasets used

A survey of intrusion detection techniques in Cloud
Cloud computing provides scalable, virtualized on-demand services to the end users with greater flexibility and lesser infrastructural investment. These services are provided over the Internet using known networking protocols, standards and formats under the supervision of different managements. Existing bugs and vulnerabilities in underlying technologies and legacy protocols tend to open doors for intrusion. This paper, surveys different intrusions affecting availability, confidentiality and integrity of Cloud resources and services. It examines proposals incorporating Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) in Cloud and discusses various types and techniques of IDS and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), and recommends IDS/IPS positioning in Cloud architecture to achieve desired security in the next generation networks
QCBA: Postoptimization of Quantitative Attributes in Classifiers based on Association Rules
The need to prediscretize numeric attributes before they can be used in
association rule learning is a source of inefficiencies in the resulting
classifier. This paper describes several new rule tuning steps aiming to
recover information lost in the discretization of numeric (quantitative)
attributes, and a new rule pruning strategy, which further reduces the size of
the classification models. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed
methods on postoptimization of models generated by three state-of-the-art
association rule classification algorithms: Classification based on
Associations (Liu, 1998), Interpretable Decision Sets (Lakkaraju et al, 2016),
and Scalable Bayesian Rule Lists (Yang, 2017). Benchmarks on 22 datasets from
the UCI repository show that the postoptimized models are consistently smaller
-- typically by about 50% -- and have better classification performance on most
datasets
