Multi-Domain Malicious Behavior Knowledge Base Framework for Multi-Type DDoS Behavior Detection

Due to the many types of distributed denial-of-service attacks(DDoS)attacks and the large amount of data generated,it becomes a chal-lenge to manage and apply the malicious behavior knowledge generated by DDoS attacks.We propose a malicious behavior knowledge base framework for DDoS attacks,which completes the construction and application of a multi-domain malicious behavior knowledge base.First,we collected mali-cious behavior traffic generated by five mainstream DDoS attacks.At the same time,we completed the knowledge collection mechanism through data pre-processing and dataset design.Then,we designed a malicious behavior category graph and malicious behavior structure graph for the characteristic information and spatial structure of DDoS attacks and completed the knowl-edge learning mechanism using a graph neural network model.To protect the data privacy of multiple multi-domain malicious behavior knowledge bases,we implement the knowledge-sharing mechanism based on federated learning.Finally,we store the constructed knowledge graphs,graph neural network model,and Federated model into the malicious behavior knowledge base to complete the knowledge management mechanism.The experimental results show that our proposed system architecture can effectively construct and apply the malicious behavior knowledge base,and the detection capability of multiple DDoS attacks occurring in the network reaches above 0.95,while there exists a certain anti-interference capability for data poisoning cases.

A Knowledge Base System for Operation Optimization: Design and Implementation Practice for the Polyethylene Process

Setting up a knowledge base is a helpful way to optimize the operation of the polyethylene process by improving the performance and the ef ciency of reuse of information and knowledge two critical ele- ments in polyethylene smart manufacturing. In this paper, we propose an overall structure for a knowl- edge base based on practical customer demand and the mechanism of the polyethylene process. First, an ontology of the polyethylene process constructed using the seven-step method is introduced as a carrier for knowledge representation and sharing. Next, a prediction method is presented for the molecular weight distribution (MWD) based on a back propagation (BP) neural network model, by analyzing the relationships between the operating conditions and the parameters of the MWD. Based on this network, a differential evolution algorithm is introduced to optimize the operating conditions by tuning the MWD. Finally, utilizing a MySQL database and the Java programming language, a knowledge base system for the operation optimization of the polyethylene process based on a browser/server framework is realized.

Ontology modeling of semantics in social media:Public issue knowledge base (PIKB)of the Weibo

Purpose:This study aims to construct an ontology to model the semantics of social media streams,in particular,trending topics and public issues.Design/methodology/approach:Our knowledge base included 10 public events and topics from Weibo respectively,which were collected through keyword search and a crawler program.We used a semi-automatic approach to model and annotate the semantics in social media,and adapted the multi-layered ontology to refine the design based on previous researches,then we used named entity recognition(NER) to extract entities to instantiate the ontology.Relationships were extracted based on co-occurrence measures.Finally,we manually conducted post-filtering evaluation and edited the extracted entities and relationships.Findings:An initial assessment demonstrated that our multi-layered ontology supports various types of queries and analyses in the public issue knowledge base(PIKB),which can serve as an effective tool to query,understand and trace public issues.Research limitations:Manual involvement cannot meet the requirements for challenges of sustainable developments.Since the relationships extracted are fully based on the co-occurrence of entities,rich semantic relationships,such as how much the key players have been involved,could not be fully reflected.Besides,the user evaluation is necessary for further ontology assessment.Practical implications:The PIKB can be used by regular Web users and policy makers to query,understand,and make sense of public events and topics.The methodology and reusable ontology model are useful for institutions that are interested in making use of the social media data.Originality/value:In this study,a multi-layered ontology is applied to model the evolving semantics of public events and trending topics in social media,and the semi-automatic approach could make it possible to extract entities and relationships from large amount of unstructured short texts of user generated content(UGC) from social media.

The Research of Independent Knowledge Based Mechanical Design

Most of KBE systems applied by previous researchers are dependent on some CAD software, which makes knowledge hard to be reused to other CAD software. Independent knowledge based system is independent of CAD software; therefore knowledge can be reused freely. This paper describes independent knowledge based system for mechanical design. A detailed discussion about typical design is put forward including design process implementation based on knowledge engineering, independent knowledge based design architecture. The main principal of knowledge driven engineering is explained. The implementation of KBE on the design of worm reducer is studied as a case. Independent knowledge based reducer design system is realized. The usage of independent knowledge based system makes KBE system work independent of CAD software, which enhances their portability and fertilizes the collaborative work of heterogeneous CAD systems.

Fuzzy Methodology for Taxonomy and Knowledge Base Design

This paper summarizes the research results dealing with washer and nut taxonomy and knowledge base design, making the use of fuzzy methodology. In particular, the theory of fuzzy membership functions, similarity matrices, and the operation of fuzzy inference play important roles.A realistic set of 25 washers and nuts are employed to conduct extensive experiments and simulations.The investigation includes a complete demonstration of engineering design. The results obtained from this feasibility study are very encouraging indeed because they represent the lower bound with respect to performance, namely correctrecognition rate, of what fuzzy methodology can do. This lower bound shows high recognition rate even with noisy input patterns, robustness in terms of noise tolerance, and simplicity in hardware implementation. Possible future works are suggested in the conclusion.

Gaining-Sharing Knowledge Based Algorithm for Solving Stochastic Programming Problems

This paper presents a novel application of metaheuristic algorithmsfor solving stochastic programming problems using a recently developed gaining sharing knowledge based optimization (GSK) algorithm. The algorithmis based on human behavior in which people gain and share their knowledgewith others. Different types of stochastic fractional programming problemsare considered in this study. The augmented Lagrangian method (ALM)is used to handle these constrained optimization problems by convertingthem into unconstrained optimization problems. Three examples from theliterature are considered and transformed into their deterministic form usingthe chance-constrained technique. The transformed problems are solved usingGSK algorithm and the results are compared with eight other state-of-the-artmetaheuristic algorithms. The obtained results are also compared with theoptimal global solution and the results quoted in the literature. To investigatethe performance of the GSK algorithm on a real-world problem, a solidstochastic fixed charge transportation problem is examined, in which theparameters of the problem are considered as random variables. The obtainedresults show that the GSK algorithm outperforms other algorithms in termsof convergence, robustness, computational time, and quality of obtainedsolutions.

Construction of carbonate reservoir knowledge base and its application in fracture-cavity reservoir geological modeling

To improve the efficiency and accuracy of carbonate reservoir research,a unified reservoir knowledge base linking geological knowledge management with reservoir research is proposed.The reservoir knowledge base serves high-quality analysis,evaluation,description and geological modeling of reservoirs.The knowledge framework is divided into three categories:technical service standard,technical research method and professional knowledge and cases related to geological objects.In order to build a knowledge base,first of all,it is necessary to form a knowledge classification system and knowledge description standards;secondly,to sort out theoretical understandings and various technical methods for different geologic objects and work out a technical service standard package according to the technical standard;thirdly,to collect typical outcrop and reservoir cases,constantly expand the content of the knowledge base through systematic extraction,sorting and saving,and construct professional knowledge about geological objects.Through the use of encyclopedia based collaborative editing architecture,knowledge construction and sharing can be realized.Geological objects and related attribute parameters can be automatically extracted by using natural language processing(NLP)technology,and outcrop data can be collected by using modern fine measurement technology,to enhance the efficiency of knowledge acquisition,extraction and sorting.In this paper,the geological modeling of fracture-cavity reservoir in the Tarim Basin is taken as an example to illustrate the construction of knowledge base of carbonate reservoir and its application in geological modeling of fracture-cavity carbonate reservoir.

A New Machine-Learning Extracting Approach to Construct a Knowledge Base: A Case Study on Global Stromatolites over Geological Time

Within any scientific disciplines, a large amount of data are buried within various literature depositories and archives, making it difficult to manually extract useful information from the datum swamps. The machine-learning extraction of data therefore is necessary for the big-data-based studies. Here, we develop a new text-mining technique to reconstruct the global database of the Precambrian to Recent stromatolites, providing better understanding of secular changes of stromatolites though geological time. The step-by-step data extraction process is described as below. First, the PDF documents of stromatolite-containing literatures were collected, and converted into text formation. Second, a glossary and tag-labeling system using NLP(Natural Language Processing) software was employed to search for all possible candidate pairs from each sentence within the papers collected here. Third, each candidate pair and features were represented as a factor graph model using a series of heuristic procedures to score the weights of each pair feature. Occurrence data of stromatolites versus stratigraphical units(abbreviated as Strata), facies types, locations, and age worldwide were extracted from literatures, respectively, and their extraction accuracies are 92%/464, 87%/778, 92%/846, and 93%/405 from 3 750 scientific abstracts, respectively, and are 90%/1 734, 86%/2 869, 90%/2 055 and 91%/857 from 11 932 papers, respectively. A total of 10 072 unique datum items were identified. The newly obtained stromatolite dataset demonstrates that their stratigraphical occurrences reached a pronounced peak during the Proterozoic(2 500 – 541 Ma), followed by a distinct fall during the Early Phanerozoic, and overall fluctuations through the Phanerozoic(541–0 Ma). Globally, seven stromatolite hotspots were identified from the new dataset, including western United States, eastern United States, western Europe, India, South Africa, northern China, and southern China. The proportional occurrences of inland aquatic stromatolites remain rather low(~20%) in comparison to marine stromatolites from the Precambrian to Jurassic, and then display a significant increase(30%–70%) from the Cretaceous to the present.

RoBGP:A Chinese Nested Biomedical Named Entity Recognition Model Based on RoBERTa and Global Pointer

Named Entity Recognition(NER)stands as a fundamental task within the field of biomedical text mining,aiming to extract specific types of entities such as genes,proteins,and diseases from complex biomedical texts and categorize them into predefined entity types.This process can provide basic support for the automatic construction of knowledge bases.In contrast to general texts,biomedical texts frequently contain numerous nested entities and local dependencies among these entities,presenting significant challenges to prevailing NER models.To address these issues,we propose a novel Chinese nested biomedical NER model based on RoBERTa and Global Pointer(RoBGP).Our model initially utilizes the RoBERTa-wwm-ext-large pretrained language model to dynamically generate word-level initial vectors.It then incorporates a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory network for capturing bidirectional semantic information,effectively addressing the issue of long-distance dependencies.Furthermore,the Global Pointer model is employed to comprehensively recognize all nested entities in the text.We conduct extensive experiments on the Chinese medical dataset CMeEE and the results demonstrate the superior performance of RoBGP over several baseline models.This research confirms the effectiveness of RoBGP in Chinese biomedical NER,providing reliable technical support for biomedical information extraction and knowledge base construction.

An algebraic approach to revising propositional rule-based knowledge bases

One of the important topics in knowledge base revision is to introduce an efficient implementation algorithm. Algebraic approaches have good characteristics and implementation method; they may be a choice to solve the problem. An algebraic approach is presented to revise propositional rule-based knowledge bases in this paper. A way is firstly introduced to transform a propositional rule-based knowledge base into a Petri net. A knowledge base is represented by a Petri net, and facts are represented by the initial marking. Thus, the consistency check of a knowledge base is equivalent to the reachability problem of Petri nets. The reachability of Petri nets can be decided by whether the state equation has a solution; hence the consistency check can also be implemented by algebraic approach. Furthermore, algorithms are introduced to revise a propositional rule-based knowledge base, as well as extended logic programming. Compared with related works, the algorithms presented in the paper are efficient, and the time complexities of these algorithms are polynomial.

Towards a knowledge base to support global change policy goals

In 2015,it was adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to end poverty,protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.The year after,17 Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs)officially came into force.In 2015,GEO(Group on Earth Observation)declared to support the implementation of SDGs.The GEO Global Earth Observation System of Systems(GEOSS)required a change of paradigm,moving from a data-centric approach to a more knowledge-driven one.To this end,the GEO System-of-Systems(SoS)framework may refer to the well-known Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom(DIKW)paradigm.In the context of an Earth Observation(EO)SoS,a set of main elements are recognized as connecting links for generating knowledge from EO and non-EO data–e.g.social and economic datasets.These elements are:Essential Variables(EVs),Indicators and Indexes,Goals and Targets.Their generation and use requires the development of a SoS KB whose management process has evolved the GEOSS Software Ecosystem into a GEOSS Social Ecosystem.This includes:collect,formalize,publish,access,use,and update knowledge.ConnectinGEO project analysed the knowledge necessary to recognize,formalize,access,and use EVs.The analysis recognized GEOSS gaps providing recommendations on supporting global decision-making within and across different domains.

Learning to Transform Service Instructions into Actions with Reinforcement Learning and Knowledge Base

In order to improve the learning ability of robots, we present a reinforcement learning approach with a knowledge base for mapping natural language instructions to executable action sequences. A simulated platform with physical engine is built as interactive environment. Based on the knowledge base, a reward function with immediate rewards and delayed rewards is designed to handle sparse reward problems. Also, a list of object states is produced by retrieving the knowledge base, as a standard to define the quality of action sequences. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach yields good performance on accuracy of action sequences production.

Type-Aware Question AnsweringAttention-Based Tree-Structuredover Knowledge Base withNeural Networks

Question answering (QA) over knowledge base (KB) aims to provide a structured answer from a knowledge base to a natural language question. In this task, a key step is how to represent and understand the natural language query. In this paper, we propose to use tree-structured neural networks constructed based on the constituency tree to model natural language queries. We identify an interesting observation in the constituency tree: different constituents have their own semantic characteristics and might be suitable to solve different subtasks in a QA system. Based on this point, we incorporate the type information as an auxiliary supervision signal to improve the QA performance. We call our approach type-aware QA. We jointly characterize both the answer and its answer type in a unified neural network model with the attention mechanism. Instead of simply using the root representation, we represent the query by combining the representations of different constituents using task-specific attention weights. Extensive experiments on public datasets have demonstrated the effectiveness of our proposed model. More specially, the learned attention weights are quite useful in understanding the query. The produced representations for intermediate nodes can be used for analyzing the effectiveness of components in a QA system.

From knowledge based software engineering to knowware based software engineering

The first part of this paper reviews our efforts on knowledge-based software engineering, namely PROMIS, started from 1990s. The key point of PROMIS is to generate applications automatically based on domain knowledge as well as software knowledge. That is featured by separating the development of domain knowledge from the development of software. But in PROMIS, we did not find an appropriate representation for the domain knowledge. Fortunately, in our recent work, we found such a carrier for knowledge modules, i.e. knowware. Knowware is a commercialized form of domain knowledge. This paper briefly introduces the basic definitions of knowware, knowledge middleware and knowware engineering. Three life circle models of knowware engineering and the design of corresponding knowware implementations are given. Finally we discuss application system automatic generation and domain knowledge modeling on the J2EE platform, which combines the techniques of PROMIS, knowware and J2EE, and the development and deployment framework, i.e. PROMIS/KW＊＊.

KB4Rec:A Data Set for Linking Knowledge Bases with Recommender Systems

To develop a knowledge-aware recommender system,a key issue is how to obtain rich and structured knowledge base(KB)information for recommender system(RS)items.Existing data sets or methods either use side information from original RSs(containing very few kinds of useful information)or utilize a private KB.In this paper,we present KB4Rec v1.0,a data set linking KB information for RSs.It has linked three widely used RS data sets with two popular KBs,namely Freebase and YAGO.Based on our linked data set,we first preform qualitative analysis experiments,and then we discuss the effect of two important factors(i.e.,popularity and recency)on whether a RS item can be linked to a KB entity.Finally,we compare several knowledge-aware recommendation algorithms on our linked data set.

Sememe knowledge computation:a review of recent advances in application and expansion of sememe knowledge bases

A sememe is defined as the minimum semantic unit of languages in linguistics.Sememe knowledge bases are built by manually annotating sememes for words and phrases.HowNet is the most well-known sememe knowledge base.It has been extensively utilized in many natural language processing tasks in the era of statistical natural language processing and proven to be effective and helpful to understanding and using languages.In the era of deep learning,although data are thought to be of vital importance,there are some studies working on incorporating sememe knowledge bases like HowNet into neural network models to enhance system performance.Some successful attempts have been made in the tasks including word representation learning,language modeling,semantic composition,etc.In addition,considering the high cost of manual annotation and update for sememe knowledge bases,some work has tried to use machine learning methods to automatically predict sememes for words and phrases to expand sememe knowledge bases.Besides,some studies try to extend HowNet to other languages by automatically predicting sememes for words and phrases in a new language.In this paper,we summarize recent studies on application and expansion of sememe knowledge bases and point out some future directions of research on sememes.
