Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Cyber attacks are becoming more sophisticated and, hence, more difficult to detect. Using efficient and effective machine learning techniques to detect network anomalies and intrusions is an important aspect of cyber security. A variety of machine learning models have been employed to help detect malicious intentions of network users. In this paper, we evaluate performance of recurrent neural networks (Long Short-Term Memory and Gated Recurrent Unit) and Broad Learning System with its extensions to classify known network intrusions. We propose two BLS-based algorithms with and without incremental learning. The algorithms may be used to develop generalized models by using various subsets of input data and expanding the network structure. The models are trained and tested using Border Gateway Protocol routing records as well as network connection records from the NSL-KDD and Canadian Institute of Cybersecurity datasets. Performance of the models is evaluated based on selected features, accuracy, F-Score, and training time.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
