Research on filter-based adversarial feature selection against evasion attacks by Qimeng HUANG, Miaomiao WU, Yun LI

“…With the rapid development and widespread application of machine learning technology, its security has attracted increasing attention, leading to a growing interest in adversarial machine learning.In adversarial scenarios, machine learning techniques are threatened by attacks that manipulate a small number of samples to induce misclassification, resulting in serious consequences in various domains such as spam detection, traffic signal recognition, and network intrusion detection.An evaluation criterion for filter-based adversarial feature selection was proposed, based on the minimum redundancy and maximum relevance (mRMR) method, while considering security metrics against evasion attacks.Additionally, a robust adversarial feature selection algorithm was introduced, named SDPOSS, which was based on the decomposition-based Pareto optimization for subset selection (DPOSS) algorithm.SDPOSS didn’t depend on subsequent models and effectively handles large-scale high-dimensional feature spaces.Experimental results demonstrate that as the number of decompositions increases, the runtime of SDPOSS decreases linearly, while achieving excellent classification performance.Moreover, SDPOSS exhibits strong robustness against evasion attacks, providing new insights for adversarial machine learning.…”

Three-Dimensional Extended Target Tracking and Shape Learning Based on Double Fourier Series and Expectation Maximization by Hongge Mao, Xiaojun Yang

“…Specifically, the 3D shape is modeled using a radial function estimated via double Fourier series (DFS) expansion, and orientation is represented using the compact, singularity-free axis-angle method. The ECM algorithm facilitates this joint estimation: an Unscented Kalman Smoother infers kinematics in the E-step, while the M-step estimates DFS shape parameters and rotation angles by minimizing regularized cost functions, promoting robustness and smoothness. …”

IoT intrusion detection method for unbalanced samples by ANTONG P, Wen CHEN, Lifa WU

“…In recent years, network traffic increases exponentially with the iteration of devices, while more and more attacks are launched against various applications.It is significant to identify and classify attacks at the traffic level.At the same time, with the explosion of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in recent years, attacks on IoT devices are also increasing, causing more and more damages.IoT intrusion detection is able to distinguish attack traffic from such a large volume of traffic, secure IoT devices at the traffic level, and stop the attack activity.In view of low detection accuracy of various attacks and sample imbalance at present, a random forest based intrusion detection method (Resample-RF) was proposed, which consisted of three specific methods: optimal sample selection algorithm, feature merging algorithm based on information entropy, and multi-classification greedy transformation algorithm.Aiming at the problem of unbalanced samples in the IoT environment, an optimal sample selection algorithm was proposed to increase the weight of small samples.Aiming at the low efficiency problem of random forest feature splitting, a feature merging method based on information entropy was proposed to improve the running efficiency.Aiming at the low accuracy problem of random forest multi-classification, a multi-classification greedy transformation method was proposed to further improve the accuracy.The method was evaluated on two public datasets.F1 reaches 0.99 on IoT-23 dataset and 1.0 on Kaggle dataset, both of which have good performance.The experimental results show that the proposed model can effectively identify the attack traffic from the massive traffic, better prevent the attack of hackers on the application, protect the IoT devices, and thus protect the related users.…”
