The geometric increase in the usage of computer networking activities poses problems with the management of network normal operations. These issues had drawn the attention of network security researchers to introduce different kinds of intrusion detection systems (IDS) which monitor data flow in a network for unwanted and illicit operations. The violation of security policies with nefarious motive is what is known as intrusion. The IDS therefore examine traffic passing through networked systems checking for nefarious operations and threats, which then sends warnings if any of these malicious activities are detected. There are 2 types of detection of malicious activities, misuse detection, in this case the information about the passing network traffic is gathered, analyzed, which is then compared with the stored predefined signatures. The other type of detection is the Anomaly detection which is detecting all network activities that deviates from regular user operations. Several researchers have done various works on IDS in which they employed different machine learning (ML), evaluating their work on various datasets. In this paper, an efficient IDS is built using Ensemble machine learning algorithms which is evaluated on CIC-IDS2017, an updated dataset that contains most recent attacks. The results obtained show a great increase in the rate of detection, increase in accuracy as well as reduction in the false positive rates (FPR).

Although machine learning has been extensively used in various fields, it has only recently been applied to soil erosion pin modeling. To improve upon previous methods of quantifying soil erosion based on erosion pin measurements, this study explored the possible application of ensemble machine learning algorithms to the Shihmen Reservoir watershed in northern Taiwan. Three categories of ensemble methods were considered in this study: (a) Bagging, (b) boosting, and (c) stacking. The bagging method in this study refers to bagged multivariate adaptive regression splines (bagged MARS) and random forest (RF), and the boosting method includes Cubist and gradient boosting machine (GBM). Finally, the stacking method is an ensemble method that uses a meta-model to combine the predictions of base models. This study used RF and GBM as the meta-models, decision tree, linear regression, artificial neural network, and support vector machine as the base models. The dataset used in this study was sampled using stratified random sampling to achieve a 70/30 split for the training and test data, and the process was repeated three times. The performance of six ensemble methods in three categories was analyzed based on the average of three attempts. It was found that GBM performed the best among the ensemble models with the lowest root-mean-square error (RMSE = 1.72 mm/year), the highest Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE = 0.54), and the highest index of agreement (d = 0.81). This result was confirmed by the spatial comparison of the absolute differences (errors) between model predictions and observations using GBM and RF in the study area. In summary, the results show that as a group, the bagging method and the boosting method performed equally well, and the stacking method was third for the erosion pin dataset considered in this study.

Abstract— Credit card fraud is a serious problem for e-commerce retailers with UK merchants reporting losses of $574.2M in 2020. As a result, effective fraud detection systems must be in place to ensure that payments are processed securely in an online environment. From the literature, the detection of credit card fraud is challenging due to dataset imbalance (genuine versus fraudulent transactions), real-time processing requirements, and the dynamic behavior of fraudsters and customers. It is proposed in this paper that the use of machine learning could be an effective solution for combating credit card fraud.According to research, machine learning techniques can play a role in overcoming the identified challenges while ensuring a high detection rate of fraudulent transactions, both directly and indirectly. Even though both supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms have been suggested, the flaws in both methods point to the necessity for hybrid approaches.

As new cyberattacks are launched against systems and networks on a daily basis, the ability for network intrusion detection systems to operate efficiently in the big data era has become critically important, particularly as more low-power Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices enter the market. This has motivated research in applying machine learning algorithms that can operate on streams of data, trained online or “live” on only a small amount of data kept in memory at a time, as opposed to the more classical approaches that are trained solely offline on all of the data at once. In this context, one important concept from machine learning for improving detection performance is the idea of “ensembles”, where a collection of machine learning algorithms are combined to compensate for their individual limitations and produce an overall superior algorithm. Unfortunately, existing research lacks proper performance comparison between homogeneous and heterogeneous online ensembles. Hence, this paper investigates several homogeneous and heterogeneous ensembles, proposes three novel online heterogeneous ensembles for intrusion detection, and compares their performance accuracy, run-time complexity, and response to concept drifts. Out of the proposed novel online ensembles, the heterogeneous ensemble consisting of an adaptive random forest of Hoeffding Trees combined with a Hoeffding Adaptive Tree performed the best, by dealing with concept drift in the most effective way. While this scheme is less accurate than a larger size adaptive random forest, it offered a marginally better run-time, which is beneficial for online training.

Objective The objective of this study was to analyze a set of driver performance and physiological data using advanced machine learning approaches, including feature generation, to determine the best-performing algorithms for detecting driver distraction and predicting the source of distraction. Background Distracted driving is a causal factor in many vehicle crashes, often resulting in injuries and deaths. As mobile devices and in-vehicle information systems become more prevalent, the ability to detect and mitigate driver distraction becomes more important. Method This study trained 21 algorithms to identify when drivers were distracted by secondary cognitive and texting tasks. The algorithms included physiological and driving behavioral input processed with a comprehensive feature generation package, Time Series Feature Extraction based on Scalable Hypothesis tests. Results Results showed that a Random Forest algorithm, trained using only driving behavior measures and excluding driver physiological data, was the highest-performing algorithm for accurately classifying driver distraction. The most important input measures identified were lane offset, speed, and steering, whereas the most important feature types were standard deviation, quantiles, and nonlinear transforms. Conclusion This work suggests that distraction detection algorithms may be improved by considering ensemble machine learning algorithms that are trained with driving behavior measures and nonstandard features. In addition, the study presents several new indicators of distraction derived from speed and steering measures. Application Future development of distraction mitigation systems should focus on driver behavior–based algorithms that use complex feature generation techniques.

Loan Approval

The Bank Marketing data set at Kaggle is mostly used in predicting if bank clients will subscribe a long-term deposit. We believe that this data set could provide more useful information such as predicting whether a bank client could be approved for a loan. This is a critical choice that has to be made by decision makers at the bank. Building a prediction model for such high-stakes decision does not only require high model prediction accuracy, but also needs a reasonable prediction interpretation. In this research, different ensemble machine learning techniques have been deployed such as Bagging and Boosting. Our research results showed that the loan approval prediction model has an accuracy of 83.97%, which is approximately 25% better than most state-of-the-art other loan prediction models found in the literature. As well, the model interpretation efforts done in this research was able to explain a few critical cases that the bank decision makers may encounter; therefore, the high accuracy of the designed models was accompanied with a trust in prediction. We believe that the achieved model accuracy accompanied with the provided interpretation information are vitally needed for decision makers to understand how to maintain balance between security and reliability of their financial lending system, while providing fair credit opportunities to their clients.
