In the field of network security, the detection of possible intrusions is an important task to prevent and analyse attacks. Machine learning has been adopted as a particular supporting technique over the last years. However, the majority of related published work uses post mortem log files and fails to address the required real-time capabilities of network data feature extraction and machine learning based analysis [1-5]. We introduce the network feature extractor library FEX, which is designed to allow real-time feature extraction of network data. This library incorporates 83 statistical features based on reassembled data flows. The introduced Cython implementation allows processing individual packets within 4.58 microseconds. Based on the features extracted by FEX, existing intrusion detection machine learning models were examined with respect to their real-time capabilities. An identified Decision-Tree Classifier model was thus further optimised by transpiling it into C Code. This reduced the prediction time of a single sample to 3.96 microseconds on average. Based on the feature extractor and the improved machine learning model an IDS system was implemented which supports a data throughput between 63.7 Mbit/s and 2.5 Gbit/s making it a suitable candidate for a real-time, machine-learning based IDS.
In order to make material design processes more efficient in the future, the underlying multidimensional process parameter spaces must be systematically explored using digitalisation techniques such as machine learning (ML) and digital simulation. In this paper we shortly review essential concepts for the digitalisation of electrodeposition processes with a special focus on chromium plating from trivalent electrolytes.
A fundamental and still largely unsolved question in the context of Generative Adversarial Networks is whether they are truly able to capture the real data distribution and, consequently, to sample from it. In particular, the multidimensional nature of image distributions leads to a complex evaluation of the diversity of GAN distributions. Existing approaches provide only a partial understanding of this issue, leaving the question unanswered. In this work, we introduce a loop-training scheme for the systematic investigation of observable shifts between the distributions of real training data and GAN generated data. Additionally, we introduce several bounded measures for distribution shifts, which are both easy to compute and to interpret. Overall, the combination of these methods allows an explorative investigation of innate limitations of current GAN algorithms. Our experiments on different data-sets and multiple state-of-the-art GAN architectures show large shifts between input and output distributions, showing that existing theoretical guarantees towards the convergence of output distributions appear not to be holding in practice.
The present work ties in with the problem of bicycle road assessment that is currently done using expensive special measuring vehicles. Our alternative approach for road condition assessment is to mount a sensor device on a bicycle which sends accelerometer and gyroscope data via WiFi to a classification server. There, a prediction model determines road type and condition based on the sensor data. For the classification task, we compare different machine learning methods with each other, whereby validation accuracies of 99% can be achieved with deep residual networks such as InceptionTime. The main contribution of this work with respect to comparable work is that we achieve excellent accuracies on a realistic dataset classifying road conditions into nine distinct classes that are highly relevant for practice.
