Towards Efficient Intrusion Detection Using Hybrid Data Mining Techniques, Fadi Salo Jun 2019

Towards Efficient Intrusion Detection Using Hybrid Data Mining Techniques, Fadi Salo

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

The enormous development in the connectivity among different type of networks poses significant concerns in terms of privacy and security. As such, the exponential expansion in the deployment of cloud technology has produced a massive amount of data from a variety of applications, resources and platforms. In turn, the rapid rate and volume of data creation in high-dimension has begun to pose significant challenges for data management and security. Handling redundant and irrelevant features in high-dimensional space has caused a long-term challenge for network anomaly detection. Eliminating such features with spectral information not only speeds up the classification process, but …


Collective Contextual Anomaly Detection For Building Energy Consumption, Daniel Berhane Araya Aug 2016

Collective Contextual Anomaly Detection For Building Energy Consumption, Daniel Berhane Araya

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Commercial and residential buildings are responsible for a substantial portion of total global energy consumption and as a result make a significant contribution to global carbon emissions. Hence, energy-saving goals that target buildings can have a major impact in reducing environmental damage. During building operation, a significant amount of energy is wasted due to equipment and human-related faults. To reduce waste, today's smart buildings monitor energy usage with the aim of identifying abnormal consumption behaviour and notifying the building manager to implement appropriate energy-saving procedures. To this end, this research proposes the \textit{ensemble anomaly detection} (EAD) framework. The EAD is …


Contextual Anomaly Detection Framework For Big Sensor Data, Michael Hayes Apr 2014

Contextual Anomaly Detection Framework For Big Sensor Data, Michael Hayes

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Performing predictive modelling, such as anomaly detection, in Big Data is a difficult task. This problem is compounded as more and more sources of Big Data are generated from environmental sensors, logging applications, and the Internet of Things. Further, most current techniques for anomaly detection only consider the content of the data source, i.e. the data itself, without concern for the context of the data. As data becomes more complex it is increasingly important to bias anomaly detection techniques for the context, whether it is spatial, temporal, or semantic. The work proposed in this thesis outlines a contextual anomaly detection …
