Entropy and Autoencoder-Based Outlier Detection in Mixed-Type Network Traffic Data

2021

Mixed-type data containing categorical and numerical features are pervasive in real life, but very limited outlier detection methods are available for these data. Some existing methods handle mixed-type data by feature converting, whereas their performance …

End-to-End Multi-Tab Website Fingerprinting Attack: A Detection Perspective

2022 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Website fingerprinting attack (WFA) aims to deanonymize the website a user is visiting through anonymous networks channels (e.g., Tor). Despite of remarkable progress in the past years, most existing methods make implicitly a couple of …

A Heuristic Repelling Strategy for Accelerating the Global Convergence of Intelligent Optimization Algorithms - A Case Study on Differential Evolution Algorithm

2023

This work proposed a heuristic-based strategy to improve the global convergence of Intelligent Optimization Al-gorithms (IOAs) by scrutinizing their evolutionary mechanisms. Specifically, according to Gaussian and Cauchy distribution functions, six potential individuals were generated primarily …
