Deep Predictive Coding Neural Network for RF Anomaly Detection in Wireless Networks
Intrusion detection has become one of the most critical tasks in a wireless
network to prevent service outages that can take long to fix. The sheer variety
of anomalous events necessitates adopting cognitive anomaly detection methods
instead of the traditional signature-based detection techniques. This paper
proposes an anomaly detection methodology for wireless systems that is based on
monitoring and analyzing radio frequency (RF) spectrum activities. Our
detection technique leverages an existing solution for the video prediction
problem, and uses it on image sequences generated from monitoring the wireless
spectrum. The deep predictive coding network is trained with images
corresponding to the normal behavior of the system, and whenever there is an
anomaly, its detection is triggered by the deviation between the actual and
predicted behavior. For our analysis, we use the images generated from the
time-frequency spectrograms and spectral correlation functions of the received
RF signal. We test our technique on a dataset which contains anomalies such as
jamming, chirping of transmitters, spectrum hijacking, and node failure, and
evaluate its performance using standard classifier metrics: detection ratio,
and false alarm rate. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed
methodology effectively detects many unforeseen anomalous events in real time.
We discuss the applications, which encompass industrial IoT, autonomous vehicle
control and mission-critical communications services.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures, Communications Workshop ICC'1
DxNAT - Deep Neural Networks for Explaining Non-Recurring Traffic Congestion
Non-recurring traffic congestion is caused by temporary disruptions, such as
accidents, sports games, adverse weather, etc. We use data related to real-time
traffic speed, jam factors (a traffic congestion indicator), and events
collected over a year from Nashville, TN to train a multi-layered deep neural
network. The traffic dataset contains over 900 million data records. The
network is thereafter used to classify the real-time data and identify
anomalous operations. Compared with traditional approaches of using statistical
or machine learning techniques, our model reaches an accuracy of 98.73 percent
when identifying traffic congestion caused by football games. Our approach
first encodes the traffic across a region as a scaled image. After that the
image data from different timestamps is fused with event- and time-related
data. Then a crossover operator is used as a data augmentation method to
generate training datasets with more balanced classes. Finally, we use the
receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis to tune the sensitivity of the
classifier. We present the analysis of the training time and the inference time
separately
Detecting the Unexpected via Image Resynthesis
Classical semantic segmentation methods, including the recent deep learning
ones, assume that all classes observed at test time have been seen during
training. In this paper, we tackle the more realistic scenario where unexpected
objects of unknown classes can appear at test time. The main trends in this
area either leverage the notion of prediction uncertainty to flag the regions
with low confidence as unknown, or rely on autoencoders and highlight
poorly-decoded regions. Having observed that, in both cases, the detected
regions typically do not correspond to unexpected objects, in this paper, we
introduce a drastically different strategy: It relies on the intuition that the
network will produce spurious labels in regions depicting unexpected objects.
Therefore, resynthesizing the image from the resulting semantic map will yield
significant appearance differences with respect to the input image. In other
words, we translate the problem of detecting unknown classes to one of
identifying poorly-resynthesized image regions. We show that this outperforms
both uncertainty- and autoencoder-based methods
A system for learning statistical motion patterns
Analysis of motion patterns is an effective approach for anomaly detection and behavior prediction. Current approaches for the analysis of motion patterns depend on known scenes, where objects move in predefined ways. It is highly desirable to automatically construct object motion patterns which reflect the knowledge of the scene. In this paper, we present a system for automatically learning motion patterns for anomaly detection and behavior prediction based on a proposed algorithm for robustly tracking multiple objects. In the tracking algorithm, foreground pixels are clustered using a fast accurate fuzzy k-means algorithm. Growing and prediction of the cluster centroids of foreground pixels ensure that each cluster centroid is associated with a moving object in the scene. In the algorithm for learning motion patterns, trajectories are clustered hierarchically using spatial and temporal information and then each motion pattern is represented with a chain of Gaussian distributions. Based on the learned statistical motion patterns, statistical methods are used to detect anomalies and predict behaviors. Our system is tested using image sequences acquired, respectively, from a crowded real traffic scene and a model traffic scene. Experimental results show the robustness of the tracking algorithm, the efficiency of the algorithm for learning motion patterns, and the encouraging performance of algorithms for anomaly detection and behavior prediction
