Thirty Years of Machine Learning: The Road to Pareto-Optimal Wireless Networks

Future wireless networks have a substantial potential in terms of supporting a broad range of complex compelling applications both in military and civilian fields, where the users are able to enjoy high-rate, low-latency, low-cost and reliable information services. Achieving this ambitious goal requires new radio techniques for adaptive learning and intelligent decision making because of the complex heterogeneous nature of the network structures and wireless services. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have great success in supporting big data analytics, efficient parameter estimation and interactive decision making. Hence, in this article, we review the thirty-year history of ML by elaborating on supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning and deep learning. Furthermore, we investigate their employment in the compelling applications of wireless networks, including heterogeneous networks (HetNets), cognitive radios (CR), Internet of things (IoT), machine to machine networks (M2M), and so on. This article aims for assisting the readers in clarifying the motivation and methodology of the various ML algorithms, so as to invoke them for hitherto unexplored services as well as scenarios of future wireless networks.Comment: 46 pages, 22 fig

Automatic Building of a Powerful IDS for The Cloud Based on Deep Neural Network by Using a Novel Combination of Simulated Annealing Algorithm and Improved Self- Adaptive Genetic Algorithm

Cloud computing (CC) is the fastest-growing data hosting and computational technology that stands today as a satisfactory answer to the problem of data storage and computing. Thereby, most organizations are now migratingtheir services into the cloud due to its appealing features and its tangible advantages. Nevertheless, providing privacy and security to protect cloud assets and resources still a very challenging issue. To address the aboveissues, we propose a smart approach to construct automatically an efficient and effective anomaly network IDS based on Deep Neural Network, by using a novel hybrid optimization framework “ISAGASAA”. ISAGASAA framework combines our new self-adaptive heuristic search algorithm called “Improved Self-Adaptive Genetic Algorithm” (ISAGA) and Simulated Annealing Algorithm (SAA). Our approach consists of using ISAGASAA with the aim of seeking the optimal or near optimal combination of most pertinent values of the parametersincluded in building of DNN based IDS or impacting its performance, which guarantee high detection rate, high accuracy and low false alarm rate. The experimental results turn out the capability of our IDS to uncover intrusionswith high detection accuracy and low false alarm rate, and demonstrate its superiority in comparison with stateof-the-art methods

Data Service Outsourcing and Privacy Protection in Mobile Internet

Mobile Internet data have the characteristics of large scale, variety of patterns, and complex association. On the one hand, it needs efficient data processing model to provide support for data services, and on the other hand, it needs certain computing resources to provide data security services. Due to the limited resources of mobile terminals, it is impossible to complete large-scale data computation and storage. However, outsourcing to third parties may cause some risks in user privacy protection. This monography focuses on key technologies of data service outsourcing and privacy protection, including the existing methods of data analysis and processing, the fine-grained data access control through effective user privacy protection mechanism, and the data sharing in the mobile Internet

Federated learning for distributed intrusion detection systems in public networks

Abstract. The rapid integration of technologies such as IoT devices, cloud, and edge computing has led to a progressively interconnected network of intelligent environments, services, and public infrastructures. This evolution highlights the critical need for sophisticated and self-governing Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) to enhance trust and ensure the security and integrity of these interconnected environments. Furthermore, the advancement of AI-based Intrusion Detection Systems hinges on the effective utilization of high-quality data for model training. A considerable number of datasets created in controlled lab environments have recently been released, which has significantly facilitated researchers in developing and evaluating resilient Machine Learning models. However, a substantial portion of the architectures and datasets available are now considered outdated. As a result, the principal aim of this thesis is to contribute to the enhancement of knowledge concerning the creation of contemporary testbed architectures specifically designed for defense systems. The main objective of this study is to propose an innovative testbed infrastructure design, capitalizing on the broad connectivity panOULU public network, to facilitate the analysis and evaluation of AI-based security applications within a public network setting. The testbed incorporates a variety of distributed computing paradigms including edge, fog, and cloud computing. It simplifies the adoption of technologies like Software-Defined Networking, Network Function Virtualization, and Service Orchestration by leveraging the capabilities of the VMware vSphere platform. In the learning phase, a custom-developed application uses information from the attackers to automatically classify incoming data as either normal or malicious. This labeled data is then used for training machine learning models within a federated learning framework (FED-ML). The trained models are validated using previously unseen network data (test data). The entire procedure, from collecting network traffic to labeling data, and from training models within the federated architecture, operates autonomously, removing the necessity for human involvement. The development and implementation of FED-ML models in this thesis may contribute towards laying the groundwork for future-forward, AI-oriented cybersecurity measures. The dataset and testbed configuration showcased in this research could improve our understanding of the challenges associated with safeguarding public networks, especially those with heterogeneous environments comprising various technologies

A Systematic Survey of Classification Algorithms for Cancer Detection

Cancer is a fatal disease induced by the occurrence of a count of inherited issues and also a count of pathological changes. Malignant cells are dangerous abnormal areas that could develop in any part of the human body, posing a life-threatening threat. To establish what treatment options are available, cancer, also referred as a tumor, should be detected early and precisely. The classification of images for cancer diagnosis is a complex mechanism that is influenced by a diverse of parameters. In recent years, artificial vision frameworks have focused attention on the classification of images as a key problem. Most people currently rely on hand-made features to demonstrate an image in a specific manner. Learning classifiers such as random forest and decision tree were used to determine a final judgment. When there are a vast number of images to consider, the difficulty occurs. Hence, in this paper, weanalyze, review, categorize, and discuss current breakthroughs in cancer detection utilizing machine learning techniques for image recognition and classification. We have reviewed the machine learning approaches like logistic regression (LR), Naïve Bayes (NB), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), decision tree (DT), and Support Vector Machines (SVM)
