Most of the currently available network security techniques are not able to cope with the dynamic and increasingly complex nature of cyber attacks on distributed computer systems. Therefore, an automated and adaptive defensive tool is imperative for computer networks. Alongside the existing prevention techniques such as encryption and firewalls, Intrusion Detection System (IDS) has established itself as an emerging technology that is able to detect unauthorized access and abuse of computer systems by both internal users and external offenders. Most of the novel approaches in this field have adopted Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to improve performance as well as robustness of IDS. The true power and advantages of ANN lie in its ability to represent both linear and non-linear relationships and learn these relationships directly from the data being modeled. However, ANN is computationally expensive due to its demanding processing power and this leads to overfitting problem, i.e. the network is unable to extrapolate accurately once the input is outside of the training data range. These limitations challenge IDS with low detection rate, high false alarm rate and excessive computation cost. This chapter proposes a novel Machine Learning (ML) algorithm to alleviate those difficulties of existing AI techniques in the area of computer network security. The Intrusion Detection dataset provided by Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD-99) is used as a benchmark to compare our model with other existing techniques. Extensive empirical analysis suggests that the proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art learning algorithms in terms of learning bias, generalization variance and computational cost. It is also reported to significantly improve the overall detection capability for difficult-to-detect novel attacks which are unseen or irregularly occur in the training phase.

 As the network primarily based applications are growing quickly, the network security mechanisms need a lot of attention to enhance speed and preciseness. The ever evolving new intrusion types cause a significant threat to network security. Though varied network security tools are developed, however the quick growth of intrusive activities continues to be a significant issue. Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are wont to detect intrusive activities on the network. Analysis showed that application of machine learning techniques in intrusion detection might reach high detection rate. Machine learning and classification algorithms facilitate to design “Intrusion Detection Models” which might classify the network traffic into intrusive or traditional traffic. This paper discusses some usually used machine learning techniques in Intrusion Detection System and conjointly reviews a number of the prevailing machine learning IDS proposed by researchers at different times. in this paper an experimental analysis is performed to demonstrate the performance analysis of some existing techniques in order that they will be used further in developing Hybrid Classifier for real data packets classification. The given result analysis shows that KNN, RF and SVM performs best for NSL-KDD dataset.

Physical-law-based models are widely utilized in the aerospace industry. One such use is to provide flight dynamics models for use in flight simulators. For human-in-the-loop use, such simulators must run in real-time. Owing to the complex physics of rotorcraft flight, to meet this real-time requirement, simplifications to the underlying physics sometimes have to be applied to the model, leading to errors in the model's predictions of the real vehicle's response. This study investigated whether a machine-learning technique could be employed to provide rotorcraft dynamic response predictions. Machine learning was facilitated using a Gaussian process (GP) nonlinear autoregressive model, which predicted the on-axis pitch rate, roll rate, yaw rate, and heave responses of a Bo105 rotorcraft. A variational sparse GP model was then developed to reduce the computational cost of implementing the approach on large datasets. It was found that both of the GP models were able to provide accurate on-axis response predictions, particularly when the model input contained all four control inceptors and one lagged on-axis response term. The predictions made showed improvement compared to a corresponding physics-based model. The reduction of training data to one-third (rotational axes) or one-half (heave axis) resulted in only minor degradation of the sparse GP model predictions.

Due to the complex physics of rotorcraft flight, to meet this real-time requirement, simplifications to the underlying physics sometimes have to be applied to the model, leading to model response errors in the predictions compared to the real vehicle. This study investigated whether a machine-learning technique could be employed to provide rotorcraft dynamic response predictions, with the ultimate aim of this model taking over when the physics-based model's accuracy degrades. In the current work, a machine-learning technique was employed to train a model to predict the dynamic response of a rotorcraft. Machine learning was facilitated using a Gaussian Process (GP) non-linear autoregressive model, which predicted the on-axis pitch rate, roll rate, yaw rate and heave responses of a Bo105 rotorcraft.

The usage of wearable gadgets is growing in the cloud-based health monitoring systems. The signal compression, computational and power efficiencies play an imperative part in this scenario. In this context, we propose an efficient method for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases based on electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The method combines multirate processing, wavelet decomposition and frequency content-based subband coefficient selection and machine learning techniques. Multirate processing and features selection is used to reduce the amount of information processed thus reducing the computational complexity of the proposed system relative to the equivalent fixed-rate solutions. Frequency content-dependent subband coefficient selection enhances the compression gain and reduces the transmission activity and computational cost of the post cloud-based classification. We have used MIT-BIH dataset for our experiments. To avoid overfitting and biasness, the performance of considered classifiers is studied by using five-fold cross validation (5CV) and a novel proposed partial blind protocol. The designed method achieves more than 12-fold computational gain while assuring an appropriate signal reconstruction. The compression gain is 13 times compared to fixed-rate counterparts and the highest classification accuracies are 97.06% and 92.08% for the 5CV and partial blind cases, respectively. Results suggest the feasibility of detecting cardiac arrhythmias using the proposed approach.
