Performance Analysis of Intrusion Detection System in the IoT Environment Using Feature Selection Technique

The increasing number of security holes in the Internet of Things(IoT)networks creates a question about the reliability of existing network intrusion detection systems.This problem has led to the developing of a research area focused on improving network-based intrusion detection system(NIDS)technologies.According to the analysis of different businesses,most researchers focus on improving the classification results of NIDS datasets by combining machine learning and feature reduction techniques.However,these techniques are not suitable for every type of network.In light of this,whether the optimal algorithm and feature reduction techniques can be generalized across various datasets for IoT networks remains.The paper aims to analyze the methods used in this research and whether they can be generalized to other datasets.Six ML models were used in this study,namely,logistic regression(LR),decision trees(DT),Naive Bayes(NB),random forest(RF),K-nearest neighbors(KNN),and linear SVM.The primary detection algorithms used in this study,Principal Component(PCA)and Gini Impurity-Based Weighted Forest(GIWRF)evaluated against three global ToN-IoT datasets,UNSW-NB15,and Bot-IoT datasets.The optimal number of dimensions for each dataset was not studied by applying the PCA algorithm.It is stated in the paper that the selection of datasets affects the performance of the FE techniques and detection algorithms used.Increasing the efficiency of this research area requires a comprehensive standard feature set that can be used to improve quality over time.

Crack Fault Classification for Planetary Gearbox Based on Feature Selection Technique and K-means Clustering Method

During the condition monitoring of a planetary gearbox, features are extracted from raw data for a fault diagnosis.However, different features have different sensitivity for identifying different fault types, and thus, the selection of a sensitive feature subset from an entire feature set and retaining as much of the class discriminatory information as possible has a directly effect on the accuracy of the classification results. In this paper, an improved hybrid feature selection technique(IHFST) that combines a distance evaluation technique(DET), Pearson’s correlation analysis, and an ad hoc technique is proposed. In IHFST, a temporary feature subset without irrelevant features is first selected according to the distance evaluation criterion of DET, and the Pearson’s correlation analysis and ad hoc technique are then employed to find and remove redundant features in the temporary feature subset, respectively, and hence,a sensitive feature subset without irrelevant or redundant features is selected from the entire feature set. Further, the k-means clustering method is applied to classify the different kinds of health conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed method was validated through several experiments carried out on a planetary gearbox with incipient cracks seeded in the tooth root of the sun gear, planet gear, and ring gear. The results show that the proposed method can successfully distinguish the different health conditions of a planetary gearbox, and achieves a better classification performance than other methods. This study proposes a sensitive feature subset selection method that achieves an obvious improvement in terms of the accuracy of the fault classification.

Unsupervised spectral feature selection algorithms for high dimensional data

It is a significant and challenging task to detect the informative features to carry out explainable analysis for high dimensional data,especially for those with very small number of samples.Feature selection especially the unsupervised ones are the right way to deal with this challenge and realize the task.Therefore,two unsupervised spectral feature selection algorithms are proposed in this paper.They group features using advanced Self-Tuning spectral clustering algorithm based on local standard deviation,so as to detect the global optimal feature clusters as far as possible.Then two feature ranking techniques,including cosine-similarity-based feature ranking and entropy-based feature ranking,are proposed,so that the representative feature of each cluster can be detected to comprise the feature subset on which the explainable classification system will be built.The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is tested on high dimensional benchmark omics datasets and compared to peer methods,and the statistical test are conducted to determine whether or not the proposed spectral feature selection algorithms are significantly different from those of the peer methods.The extensive experiments demonstrate the proposed unsupervised spectral feature selection algorithms outperform the peer ones in comparison,especially the one based on cosine similarity feature ranking technique.The statistical test results show that the entropy feature ranking based spectral feature selection algorithm performs best.The detected features demonstrate strong discriminative capabilities in downstream classifiers for omics data,such that the AI system built on them would be reliable and explainable.It is especially significant in building transparent and trustworthy medical diagnostic systems from an interpretable AI perspective.

An effective fault prediction model developed using an extreme learning machine with various kernel methods

System analysts often use software fault prediction models to identify fault-prone modules during the design phase of the software development life cycle. The models help predict faulty modules based on the software metrics that are input to the models. In this study, we consider 20 types of metrics to develop a model using an extreme learning machine associated with various kernel methods. We evaluate the effectiveness of the mode using a proposed framework based on the cost and efficiency in the testing phases. The evaluation process is carried out by considering case studies for 30 object-oriented software systems. Experimental results demonstrate that the application of a fault prediction model is suitable for projects with the percentage of faulty classes below a certain threshold, which depends on the efficiency of fault identification(low: 47.28%; median: 39.24%; high: 25.72%). We consider nine feature selection techniques to remove the irrelevant metrics and to select the best set of source code metrics for fault prediction.
