Network anomaly detection: a survey and comparative analysis of stochastic and deterministic methods
7 pages. 1 more figure than final CDC 2013 versionWe present five methods to the problem of network anomaly detection. These methods cover most of the common techniques in the anomaly detection field, including Statistical Hypothesis Tests (SHT), Support Vector Machines (SVM) and clustering analysis. We evaluate all methods in a simulated network that consists of nominal data, three flow-level anomalies and one packet-level attack. Through analyzing the results, we point out the advantages and disadvantages of each method and conclude that combining the results of the individual methods can yield improved anomaly detection results
A taxonomy framework for unsupervised outlier detection techniques for multi-type data sets
The term "outlier" can generally be defined as an observation that is significantly different from
the other values in a data set. The outliers may be instances of error or indicate events. The
task of outlier detection aims at identifying such outliers in order to improve the analysis of
data and further discover interesting and useful knowledge about unusual events within numerous
applications domains. In this paper, we report on contemporary unsupervised outlier detection
techniques for multiple types of data sets and provide a comprehensive taxonomy framework and
two decision trees to select the most suitable technique based on data set. Furthermore, we
highlight the advantages, disadvantages and performance issues of each class of outlier detection
techniques under this taxonomy framework
GAN Augmented Text Anomaly Detection with Sequences of Deep Statistics
Anomaly detection is the process of finding data points that deviate from a
baseline. In a real-life setting, anomalies are usually unknown or extremely
rare. Moreover, the detection must be accomplished in a timely manner or the
risk of corrupting the system might grow exponentially. In this work, we
propose a two level framework for detecting anomalies in sequences of discrete
elements. First, we assess whether we can obtain enough information from the
statistics collected from the discriminator's layers to discriminate between
out of distribution and in distribution samples. We then build an unsupervised
anomaly detection module based on these statistics. As to augment the data and
keep track of classes of known data, we lean toward a semi-supervised
adversarial learning applied to discrete elements.Comment: 5 pages, 53rd Annual Conference on Information Sciences and Systems,
