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

Unsupervised Anomaly Detection with Unlabeled Data Using Clustering
Intrusions pose a serious security risk in a network environment. New intrusion types, of which detection systems are unaware, are the most difficult to detect. The amount of available network audit data instances is usually large; human labeling is tedious, time-consuming, and expensive. Traditional anomaly detection algorithms require a set of purely normal data from which they train their model. We present a clustering-based intrusion detection algorithm, unsupervised anomaly detection, which trains on unlabeled data in order to detect new intrusions. Our method is able to detect many different types of intrusions, while maintaining a low false positive rate as verified over the Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining - KDD CUP 1999 dataset
AI Solutions for MDS: Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Misuse Detection and Localisation in Telecommunication Environments
This report considers the application of Articial Intelligence (AI) techniques to
the problem of misuse detection and misuse localisation within telecommunications
environments. A broad survey of techniques is provided, that covers inter alia
rule based systems, model-based systems, case based reasoning, pattern matching,
clustering and feature extraction, articial neural networks, genetic algorithms, arti
cial immune systems, agent based systems, data mining and a variety of hybrid
approaches. The report then considers the central issue of event correlation, that
is at the heart of many misuse detection and localisation systems. The notion of
being able to infer misuse by the correlation of individual temporally distributed
events within a multiple data stream environment is explored, and a range of techniques,
covering model based approaches, `programmed' AI and machine learning
paradigms. It is found that, in general, correlation is best achieved via rule based approaches,
but that these suffer from a number of drawbacks, such as the difculty of
developing and maintaining an appropriate knowledge base, and the lack of ability
to generalise from known misuses to new unseen misuses. Two distinct approaches
are evident. One attempts to encode knowledge of known misuses, typically within
rules, and use this to screen events. This approach cannot generally detect misuses
for which it has not been programmed, i.e. it is prone to issuing false negatives.
The other attempts to `learn' the features of event patterns that constitute normal
behaviour, and, by observing patterns that do not match expected behaviour, detect
when a misuse has occurred. This approach is prone to issuing false positives,
i.e. inferring misuse from innocent patterns of behaviour that the system was not
trained to recognise. Contemporary approaches are seen to favour hybridisation,
often combining detection or localisation mechanisms for both abnormal and normal
behaviour, the former to capture known cases of misuse, the latter to capture
unknown cases. In some systems, these mechanisms even work together to update
each other to increase detection rates and lower false positive rates. It is concluded
that hybridisation offers the most promising future direction, but that a rule or state
based component is likely to remain, being the most natural approach to the correlation
of complex events. The challenge, then, is to mitigate the weaknesses of
canonical programmed systems such that learning, generalisation and adaptation
are more readily facilitated
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
HYPA: Efficient Detection of Path Anomalies in Time Series Data on Networks
The unsupervised detection of anomalies in time series data has important
applications in user behavioral modeling, fraud detection, and cybersecurity.
Anomaly detection has, in fact, been extensively studied in categorical
sequences. However, we often have access to time series data that represent
paths through networks. Examples include transaction sequences in financial
networks, click streams of users in networks of cross-referenced documents, or
travel itineraries in transportation networks. To reliably detect anomalies, we
must account for the fact that such data contain a large number of independent
observations of paths constrained by a graph topology. Moreover, the
heterogeneity of real systems rules out frequency-based anomaly detection
techniques, which do not account for highly skewed edge and degree statistics.
To address this problem, we introduce HYPA, a novel framework for the
unsupervised detection of anomalies in large corpora of variable-length
temporal paths in a graph. HYPA provides an efficient analytical method to
detect paths with anomalous frequencies that result from nodes being traversed
in unexpected chronological order.Comment: 11 pages with 8 figures and supplementary material. To appear at SIAM
