Clustering using an Autoassociator: A Case Study in Network Event Correlation
نویسندگان
چکیده
An autoassociator is a feedforward neural network that has the same number of input and output units. The goal of the autoassociator is very simple; to reconstruct its input at the output layer. Despite their simplicity, autoassociators have previously been shown to be quite successful on the task of Novelty Detection applied to industrial and military domains. The purpose of this paper is to test their utility on the more general task of clustering. In particular, we apply a clustering version of the autoassociator to the domain of Network Event Correlation. The results suggest that autoassociators are indeed useful as clustering systems. They were able to successfully correlate similar types of network alerts and have the added advantage of being fast once trained, a crucial feature when used for Network Event Correlation.

AutoCorrel II: a neural network event correlation approach
Intrusion detection analysts are often swamped by multitudes of alerts originating from installed intrusion detection systems (IDS) as well as logs from routers and firewalls on the networks. Properly managing these alerts and correlating them to previously seen threats is critical in the ability to effectively protect a network from attacks. Manually correlating events can be a slow tedious ta...

متن کاملA Neural Network Autoassociator for Induction Motor Failure Prediction
We present results on the use of neural network based autoassociators which act as novelty or anomaly detectors to detect imminent motor failures. The autoassociator is trained to reconstruct spectra obtained from the healthy motor. In laboratory tests, we have demonstrated that the trained autoassociator has a small reconstruction error on measurements recorded from healthy motors but a larger...

Heart disease is one of the major causes of morbidity in the world. Currently, large proportions of healthcare data are not processed properly, thus, failing to be effectively used for decision making purposes. The risk of heart disease may be predicted via investigation of heart disease risk factors coupled with data mining knowledge. This paper presents a model developed using combined descri...
