We claim that modelling network traffic as a time series with a supervised learning approach, using known genuine and malicious behaviour, improves intrusion detection. To substantiate this, we trained long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural networks with the training data provided by the DARPA / KDD Cup ’99 challenge. To identify suitable LSTM-RNN network parameters and structure we exp...

Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and its variants have been the standard solution to sequential data processing tasks because of their ability to preserve previous information weighted on distance. This feature provides the LSTM family with additional information in predictions, compared to regular Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and Bag-of-Words (BOW) models. In other words, LSTM networks assume...

From speech, speaker identity can be mostly characterized by the spectro-temporal structures of spectrum. Although recent researches have demonstrated the effectiveness of employing long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network (RNN) in voice conversion, traditional LSTM-RNN based approaches usually focus on temporal evolutions of speech features only. In this paper, we improve the con...

Long Short-Term Memory network(LSTM) has attracted much attention on sequence modeling tasks, because of its ability to preserve longer term information in a sequence, compared to ordinary Recurrent Neural Networks(RNN’s). The basic LSTM structure assumes a chain structure of the input sequence. However, audio streams often show a trend of combining phonemes into meaningful units, which could b...

We have recently shown that deep Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) recurrent neural networks (RNNs) outperform feed forward deep neural networks (DNNs) as acoustic models for speech recognition. More recently, we have shown that the performance of sequence trained context dependent (CD) hidden Markov model (HMM) acoustic models using such LSTM RNNs can be equaled by sequence trained phone models in...

Recent work on generative text modeling has found that variational autoencoders (VAE) with LSTM decoders perform worse than simpler LSTM language models (Bowman et al., 2015). This negative result is so far poorly understood, but has been attributed to the propensity of LSTM decoders to ignore conditioning information from the encoder. In this paper, we experiment with a new type of decoder for...

The temporal distance between events conveys information essential for numerous sequential tasks such as motor control and rhythm detection. While Hidden Markov Models tend to ignore this information, recurrent neural networks (RNNs) can in principle learn to make use of it. We focus on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) because it has been shown to outperform other RNNs on tasks involving long time...

Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network has proven effective in modeling speech and has achieved outstanding performance in both speech enhancement (SE) and automatic speech recognition (ASR). To further improve the performance of noise-robust speech recognition, a combination of speech enhancement and recognition was shown to be promising in earlier work. This paper aims to expl...

Matching pedestrians across multiple camera views known as human re-identification (re-identification) is a challenging problem in visual surveillance. In the existing works concentrating on feature extraction, representations are formed locally and independent of other regions. We present a novel siamese Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) architecture that can process image regions sequentially and...

We propose Nested LSTMs (NLSTM), a novel RNN architecture with multiple levels of memory. Nested LSTMs add depth to LSTMs via nesting as opposed to stacking. The value of a memory cell in an NLSTM is computed by an LSTM cell, which has its own inner memory cell. Specifically, instead of computing the value of the (outer) memory cell as c t = ft ct−1 + it gt, NLSTM memory cells use the concatena...
