Clustering extension of MOVICAB-IDS to distinguish intrusions in flow-based data

Much effort has been devoted to research on intrusion detection (ID) in recent years because intrusion strategies and technologies are constantly and quickly evolving. As an innovative solution based on visualization, MObile VIsualisation Connectionist Agent-Based IDS was previously proposed, conceived as a hybrid-intelligent ID System. It was designed to analyse continuous network data at a packet level and is extended in present paper for the analysis of flow-based traffic data. By incorporating clustering techniques to the original proposal, network flows are investigated trying to identify different types of attacks. The analysed real-life data (the well-known dataset from the University of Twente) come from a honeypot directly connected to the Internet (thus ensuring attack-exposure) and is analysed by means of clustering and neural techniques, individually and in conjunction. Promising results are obtained, proving the validity of the proposed extension for the analysis of network flow dat

Self-Driving Car A Deep-Learning Approach

Nowadays self-directed learning and automation are not restricted to human beings only. If you stare out at the automotive horizon, you can see a new exciting era coming into limelight: the age of self-driving cars. An age when humans will no longer need to keep their eyes on the road. No more concerns about distraction while driving or those stressful rush hour commutes, vehicles will whisk us where we want to go, blazingly fast and efficiently. This paper aims at demonstrating a system, which is able to drive a car on road without any human input. Both software and hardware parts are discussed here. The vehicle would contain certain sensors such as GPS, Ultrasonic Sensor, Camera and would contain an on-board computer for decision making. Waypoint data would be obtained from a nav provider like Google Maps. All of it would be simulated in CARLA, an open-source simulator

Fast and accurate convolution neural network for detecting manufacturing data

This article introduces a technique known as clustering with particle for object detection (CPOD) for use in smart factories. CPOD builds on regional-based methods to identify smart object data using outlier detection, clustering, particle swarm optimization (PSO), and deep convolutional networks. The process starts by removing noise and errors from the images database by the local outlier factor (LOF) algorithm. Next, the algorithm studies different correlations from the set of images in the database. This creates homogeneous, and similar clusters using the well-known k-means algorithm, and the FastRCNN (fast region convolutional neural network) uses these clusters to design efficient and more focused models. PSO is used to optimize the different parameters including, the number of neighbors of LOF, the number of clusters of k-means, the number of epochs, and the error learning rate for FastRCNN. The inference process benefits from the knowledge provided by training. Instead of considering a complex single model of the whole images database, we consider a simple homogeneous model. To demonstrate the usefulness of our approach, intensive experiments have been carried out on standard images database, and real smart manufacturer data. Our results show that CPOD when compared to baseline object detection solutions is superior in terms of runtime and accuracy.acceptedVersio

Numerical Simulation and Design of Machine Learning Based Real Time Fatigue Detection System

The proposed research is a step to implement real time image segmentation and drowsiness with help of machine learning methodologies. Image segmentation has been implemented in real time in which the segments of mouth and eyes have been segmented using image processing. Input can be provided by the help of real time image acquisition system such as webcam or internet of things based camera. From the video input, image frames has been extracted and processed to obtain real time features and using clustering algorithms segmentation has been achieved in real time. In the proposed work a Support Vector Machine (SVM) based machine learning method has been implemented emotion detection using facial expressions. The algorithm has been tested under variable luminance conditions and performed well with optimum accuracy as compared to contemporary research

FL4IoT: IoT Device Fingerprinting and Identification Using Federated Learning

Unidentified devices in a network can result in devastating consequences. It is, therefore, necessary to fingerprint and identify IoT devices connected to private or critical networks. With the proliferation of massive but heterogeneous IoT devices, it is getting challenging to detect vulnerable devices connected to networks. Current machine learning-based techniques for fingerprinting and identifying devices necessitate a significant amount of data gathered from IoT networks that must be transmitted to a central cloud. Nevertheless, private IoT data cannot be shared with the central cloud in numerous sensitive scenarios. Federated learning (FL) has been regarded as a promising paradigm for decentralized learning and has been applied in many different use cases. It enables machine learning models to be trained in a privacy-preserving way. In this article, we propose a privacy-preserved IoT device fingerprinting and identification mechanisms using FL; we call it FL4IoT. FL4IoT is a two-phased system combining unsupervised-learning-based device fingerprinting and supervised-learning-based device identification. FL4IoT shows its practicality in different performance metrics in a federated and centralized setup. For instance, in the best cases, empirical results show that FL4IoT achieves ∼99% accuracy and F1-Score in identifying IoT devices using a federated setup without exposing any private data to a centralized cloud entity. In addition, FL4IoT can detect spoofed devices with over 99% accuracy

Context-awareness for mobile sensing: a survey and future directions

The evolution of smartphones together with increasing computational power have empowered developers to create innovative context-aware applications for recognizing user related social and cognitive activities in any situation and at any location. The existence and awareness of the context provides the capability of being conscious of physical environments or situations around mobile device users. This allows network services to respond proactively and intelligently based on such awareness. The key idea behind context-aware applications is to encourage users to collect, analyze and share local sensory knowledge in the purpose for a large scale community use by creating a smart network. The desired network is capable of making autonomous logical decisions to actuate environmental objects, and also assist individuals. However, many open challenges remain, which are mostly arisen due to the middleware services provided in mobile devices have limited resources in terms of power, memory and bandwidth. Thus, it becomes critically important to study how the drawbacks can be elaborated and resolved, and at the same time better understand the opportunities for the research community to contribute to the context-awareness. To this end, this paper surveys the literature over the period of 1991-2014 from the emerging concepts to applications of context-awareness in mobile platforms by providing up-to-date research and future research directions. Moreover, it points out the challenges faced in this regard and enlighten them by proposing possible solutions
