A Clone Selection Based Real-Valued Negative Selection Algorithm by Ruirui Zhang, Xin Xiao

“…The main contributions lie in (1) introducing the clonal selection algorithm and randomly generating candidate detectors within the stratified limited ranges based on clustering centers of self set; generating big-radius candidate detectors first and making them cover space far from selves, which reduces the number of detectors; then generating small-radius candidate detectors and making them gradually cover boundary space between selves and non-selves, which reduces the number of holes; (2) distinguishing selves and dividing them into outlier selves, boundary selves, and internal selves, which can adapt to the interference of noise data from selves; (3) for anomaly detection, using mature detector set and boundary self set to test at the same time, which can effectively improve the detection rate and reduce the false alarm rate. …”
