This work explores unsupervised anomaly detection within sequential, hierarchical data. We present a flexible framework for detecting, ranking and analyzing anomalies. The framework 1) allows users to incorporate complex, multidimensional, hierarchical data into the anomaly detection process; 2) uses an ensemble method that can incorporate multiple unsupervised anomaly detection algorithms and ...

The field of intrusion detection is divided into signature detection and anomaly detection. The former involves identifying patterns associated with known attacks and the latter involves attempting to learn a ‘normal’ pattern of activity and then producing security alerts when behaviors outside of those norms is detected. The ngrams methodology has arguably been the most successful technique fo...

Commercial and residential buildings are responsible for a substantial portion of total global energy consumption and as a result make a significant contribution to global carbon emissions. Hence, energy-saving goals that target buildings can have a major impact in reducing environmental damage. During building operation, a significant amount of energy is wasted due to equipment and human-relat...

Traditional trajectory based anomaly detection model which analyzes the video training patterns for anomaly detection. This paper aims to solve the problem of video noise and anomaly detection .In this paper, a novel filtered based ensemble clustering and classif...

Recently, high-order statistics have received more and more interest in the field of hyperspectral anomaly detection. However, most of the existing high-order statistics based anomaly detection methods require stepwise iterations since they are the direct applications of blind source separation. Moreover, these methods usually produce multiple detection maps rather than a single anomaly distrib...

Anomaly detection is the process of identifying unexpected items or events in datasets, which differ from the norm. In contrast to standard classification tasks, anomaly detection is often applied on unlabeled data, taking only the internal structure of the dataset into account. This challenge is known as unsupervised anomaly detection and is addressed in many practical applications, for exampl...

Machine Learning for Host-based Anomaly Detection by Gaurav Tandon Dissertation Advisor: Philip K. Chan, Ph.D. Anomaly detection techniques complement signature based methods for intrusion detection. Machine learning approaches are applied to anomaly detection for automated learning and detection. Traditional host-based anomaly detectors model system call sequences to detect novel attacks. This...

ISSN 2250 – 110X | © 2011 Bonfring Abstract--The drawback of the anomaly based intrusion detection in a wireless network is the high rate of false positive. By designing a hybrid intrusion detection system can solve this by connecting a misuse detection module to the anomaly detection module. In this paper, we propose to develop a hybrid intrusion detection system for wireless local area networ...
