Intrusion Detection Based on Sequential Information Preserving Log Embedding Methods and Anomaly Detection Algorithms by Czangyeob Kim, Myeongjun Jang, Seungwan Seo, Kyeongchan Park, Pilsung Kang

“…Among these, anomaly detection algorithms, which are trained in unsupervised fashion, are capable of reducing efforts of security experts and securing labeled dataset through post analysis. It is further possible to distinguish abnormal behaviors more precisely by training classification models if sufficient amounts of labeled dataset is obtained through post analysis of anomaly detection results. …”
