A Supervised Machine Learning Based Intrusion Detection Model for Detecting Cyber-Attacks Against Computer System

Internet usage has become essential for correspondence in almost every calling in our digital age. To protect a network, an effective intrusion detection system (IDS) is vital. Intrusion Detection System is a software application to detect network intrusion using various machine learning algorithms. The function of the expert has been lessened by machine learning approaches since knowledge is taken directly from the data. The fact that it makes use of all the features of an information packet spinning in the network for intrusion detection is weakened by the employment of various methods for detecting intrusions, such as statistical models, safe system approaches, etc. Machine learning has become a fundamental innovation for cyber security. Two of the key types of attacks that plague businesses, as proposed in this paper, are Denial of Service (DOS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks. One of the most disastrous attacks on the Internet of Things (IOT) is a denial of service.  Two diverse Machine Learning techniques are proposed in this research work, mainly Supervised learning. To achieve this goal, the paper represents a regression algorithm, which is usually used in data science and machine learning to forecast the future. An innovative approach to detecting is by using the Machine Learning algorithm by mining application-specific logs. Cyber security is a way of providing their customers the peace of mind they need knowing that they have secured their information and money

Neuromorphic Learning Systems for Supervised and Unsupervised Applications

The advancements in high performance computing (HPC) have enabled the large-scale implementation of neuromorphic learning models and pushed the research on computational intelligence into a new era. Those bio-inspired models are constructed on top of unified building blocks, i.e. neurons, and have revealed potentials for learning of complex information. Two major challenges remain in neuromorphic computing. Firstly, sophisticated structuring methods are needed to determine the connectivity of the neurons in order to model various problems accurately. Secondly, the models need to adapt to non-traditional architectures for improved computation speed and energy efficiency. In this thesis, we address these two problems and apply our techniques to different cognitive applications. This thesis first presents the self-structured confabulation network for anomaly detection. Among the machine learning applications, unsupervised detection of the anomalous streams is especially challenging because it requires both detection accuracy and real-time performance. Designing a computing framework that harnesses the growing computing power of the multicore systems while maintaining high sensitivity and specificity to the anomalies is an urgent research need. We present AnRAD (Anomaly Recognition And Detection), a bio-inspired detection framework that performs probabilistic inferences. We leverage the mutual information between the features and develop a self-structuring procedure that learns a succinct confabulation network from the unlabeled data. This network is capable of fast incremental learning, which continuously refines the knowledge base from the data streams. Compared to several existing anomaly detection methods, the proposed approach provides competitive detection accuracy as well as the insight to reason the decision making. Furthermore, we exploit the massive parallel structure of the AnRAD framework. Our implementation of the recall algorithms on the graphic processing unit (GPU) and the Xeon Phi co-processor both obtain substantial speedups over the sequential implementation on general-purpose microprocessor (GPP). The implementation enables real-time service to concurrent data streams with diversified contexts, and can be applied to large problems with multiple local patterns. Experimental results demonstrate high computing performance and memory efficiency. For vehicle abnormal behavior detection, the framework is able to monitor up to 16000 vehicles and their interactions in real-time with a single commodity co-processor, and uses less than 0.2ms for each testing subject. While adapting our streaming anomaly detection model to mobile devices or unmanned systems, the key challenge is to deliver required performance under the stringent power constraint. To address the paradox between performance and power consumption, brain-inspired hardware, such as the IBM Neurosynaptic System, has been developed to enable low power implementation of neural models. As a follow-up to the AnRAD framework, we proposed to port the detection network to the TrueNorth architecture. Implementing inference based anomaly detection on a neurosynaptic processor is not straightforward due to hardware limitations. A design flow and the supporting component library are developed to flexibly map the learned detection networks to the neurosynaptic cores. Instead of the popular rate code, burst code is adopted in the design, which represents numerical value using the phase of a burst of spike trains. This does not only reduce the hardware complexity, but also increases the result\u27s accuracy. A Corelet library, NeoInfer-TN, is implemented for basic operations in burst code and two-phase pipelines are constructed based on the library components. The design can be configured for different tradeoffs between detection accuracy, hardware resource consumptions, throughput and energy. We evaluate the system using network intrusion detection data streams. The results show higher detection rate than some conventional approaches and real-time performance, with only 50mW power consumption. Overall, it achieves 10^8 operations per Joule. In addition to the modeling and implementation of unsupervised anomaly detection, we also investigate a supervised learning model based on neural networks and deep fragment embedding and apply it to text-image retrieval. The study aims at bridging the gap between image and natural language. It continues to improve the bidirectional retrieval performance across the modalities. Unlike existing works that target at single sentence densely describing the image objects, we elevate the topic to associating deep image representations with noisy texts that are only loosely correlated. Based on text-image fragment embedding, our model employs a sequential configuration, connects two embedding stages together. The first stage learns the relevancy of the text fragments, and the second stage uses the filtered output from the first one to improve the matching results. The model also integrates multiple convolutional neural networks (CNN) to construct the image fragments, in which rich context information such as human faces can be extracted to increase the alignment accuracy. The proposed method is evaluated with both synthetic dataset and real-world dataset collected from picture news website. The results show up to 50% ranking performance improvement over the comparison models

A Comprehensive Survey of Deep Learning in Remote Sensing: Theories, Tools and Challenges for the Community

In recent years, deep learning (DL), a re-branding of neural networks (NNs), has risen to the top in numerous areas, namely computer vision (CV), speech recognition, natural language processing, etc. Whereas remote sensing (RS) possesses a number of unique challenges, primarily related to sensors and applications, inevitably RS draws from many of the same theories as CV; e.g., statistics, fusion, and machine learning, to name a few. This means that the RS community should be aware of, if not at the leading edge of, of advancements like DL. Herein, we provide the most comprehensive survey of state-of-the-art RS DL research.

Learning from Structured Data with High Dimensional Structured Input and Output Domain

Structured data is accumulated rapidly in many applications, e.g. Bioinformatics, Cheminformatics, social network analysis, natural language processing and text mining. Designing and analyzing algorithms for handling these large collections of structured data has received significant interests in data mining and machine learning communities, both in the input and output domain. However, it is nontrivial to adopt traditional machine learning algorithms, e.g. SVM, linear regression to structured data. For one thing, the structural information in the input domain and output domain is ignored if applying the normal algorithms to structured data. For another, the major challenge in learning from many high-dimensional structured data is that input/output domain can contain tens of thousands even larger number of features and labels. With the high dimensional structured input space and/or structured output space, learning a low dimensional and consistent structured predictive function is important for both robustness and interpretability of the model. In this dissertation, we will present a few machine learning models that learn from the data with structured input features and structured output tasks. For learning from the data with structured input features, I have developed structured sparse boosting for graph classification, structured joint sparse PCA for anomaly detection and localization. Besides learning from structured input, I also investigated the interplay between structured input and output under the context of multi-task learning. In particular, I designed a multi-task learning algorithms that performs structured feature selection & task relationship Inference. We will demonstrate the applications of these structured models on subgraph based graph classification, networked data stream anomaly detection/localization, multiple cancer type prediction, neuron activity prediction and social behavior prediction. Finally, through my intern work at IBM T.J. Watson Research, I will demonstrate how to leverage structural information from mobile data (e.g. call detail record and GPS data) to derive important places from people's daily life for transit optimization and urban planning

Deep Learning for Network Traffic Monitoring and Analysis (NTMA): A Survey

Modern communication systems and networks, e.g., Internet of Things (IoT) and cellular networks, generate a massive and heterogeneous amount of traffic data. In such networks, the traditional network management techniques for monitoring and data analytics face some challenges and issues, e.g., accuracy, and effective processing of big data in a real-time fashion. Moreover, the pattern of network traffic, especially in cellular networks, shows very complex behavior because of various factors, such as device mobility and network heterogeneity. Deep learning has been efficiently employed to facilitate analytics and knowledge discovery in big data systems to recognize hidden and complex patterns. Motivated by these successes, researchers in the field of networking apply deep learning models for Network Traffic Monitoring and Analysis (NTMA) applications, e.g., traffic classification and prediction.
