Support Vector Machines have been successfully used for one-class classification (OCSVM, SVDD) when trained on clean data, but they work much worse on dirty data: outliers present in the training data tend to become support vectors, and are…
The last decades have seen a growth in the number of cyber-attacks with severe economic and privacy damages, which reveals the need for network intrusion detection approaches to assist in preventing cyber-attacks and reducing their risks.…
An outage detection framework for power distribution networks is proposed. Given the tree structure of the distribution system, a method is developed combining the use of real-time power flow measurements on edges of the tree with load…
Analysis of an organization's computer network activity is a key component of early detection and mitigation of insider threat, a growing concern for many organizations. Raw system logs are a prototypical example of streaming data that can…
We study the fault-tolerance of networks from both the structural and computational point of view using the minimum leaf number of the corresponding graph $G$, i.e. the minimum number of leaves of the spanning trees of $G$, and its…
Many applications in data analysis begin with a set of points in a Euclidean space that is partitioned into clusters. Common tasks then are to devise a classifier deciding which of the clusters a new point is associated to, finding outliers…
Cybersecurity has recently gained considerable interest in today's security issues because of the popularity of the Internet-of-Things (IoT), the considerable growth of mobile networks, and many related apps. Therefore, detecting numerous…
Failures in optical network backbone can lead to major disruption of internet data traffic. Hence, minimizing such failures is of paramount importance for the network operators. Even better, if the network failures can be predicted and…
Software Defined Networking (SDN) has evolved to revolutionize next-generation networks, offering programmability for on-the-fly service provisioning, primarily supported by the OpenFlow (OF) protocol. The limited storage capacity of…
Outlier detection, crucial for identifying unusual patterns with significant implications across numerous applications, has drawn considerable research interest. Existing semi-supervised methods typically treat data as purely numerical and}…
Outliers are ubiquitous in modern data sets. Distance-based techniques are a popular non-parametric approach to outlier detection as they require no prior assumptions on the data generating distribution and are simple to implement. Scaling…
Today, detection of anomalous events in civil infrastructures (e.g. water pipe breaks and leaks) is time consuming and often takes hours or days. Pipe breakage as one of the most frequent types of failure of water networks often causes…
Establishing the correspondence between two images is an important research direction of computer vision. When estimating the relationship between two images, it is often disturbed by outliers. In this paper, we propose a convolutional…
In this paper, we propose a novel approach for outlier detection, called local projections, which is based on concepts of Local Outlier Factor (LOF) (Breunig et al., 2000) and RobPCA (Hubert et al., 2005). By using aspects of both methods,…
We investigate the detection of botnet command and control (C2) hosts in massive IP traffic using machine learning methods. To this end, we use NetFlow data -- the industry standard for monitoring of IP traffic -- and ML models using two…
Network robustness is critical for various societal and industrial networks again malicious attacks. In particular, connectivity robustness and controllability robustness reflect how well a networked system can maintain its connectedness…
Machine Learning (ML)-based network intrusion detection systems bring many benefits for enhancing the cybersecurity posture of an organisation. Many systems have been designed and developed in the research community, often achieving a close…
Many traditional methods for identifying changepoints can struggle in the presence of outliers, or when the noise is heavy-tailed. Often they will infer additional changepoints in order to fit the outliers. To overcome this problem, data…
Most real-world IoT data analysis tasks, such as clustering and anomaly event detection, are unsupervised and highly susceptible to the presence of outliers. In addition to sporadic scattered outliers caused by factors such as faulty sensor…
