Comprehensive Monitoring of Complex Industrial Processes with Multiple Characteristics by Chenxing Xu, Jiarula Yasenjiang, Pengfei Cui, Shengpeng Zhang, Xin Zhang

“…Foremost, this paper proposed a nonlinear evaluation method and divided the feature variables into Gaussian linear blocks, Gaussian nonlinear blocks, non-Gaussian linear blocks, and non-Gaussian nonlinear blocks by using the Jarque–Bera (JB) test and nonlinear discrimination method. Each division was monitored by the PCA-KPCA-ICA-KICA model, and finally the Bayesian fusion strategy proposed in this study is used to synthesize the detection results for each block. …”

Blockchain network layer anomaly traffic detection method based on multiple classifier integration by Qianyi DAI, Bin ZHANG, Song GUO, Kaiyong XU

“…To improve the comprehensive generalized feature perception ability of mixed attack traffic on the blockchain network layer, and enhance the performance of abnormal traffic detection, a blockchain layer traffic anomaly detection method was proposed that supported the comprehensive judgement of data anomaly with a strong generalisation capability.Firstly, to expand the difference of the input feature subset of the base classifier used, a feature subset selection algorithm based on discrimination degree and redundant information was proposed, and the output of high sensitivity subset terms was stimulated during the feature screening process, while the generation of redundant information was suppressed.Then, the stochastic variance reduction gradient algorithm was introduced into the bagging integration algorithm to realize the dynamic adjustment of the voting weights of each base modeland improve thecapability in detecting the generalised hybrid abnormal attack traffic.Finally, LBoF algorithm was proposed to map the low-dimensional numerical vector output by the integrated algorithm to a high-dimensional space.The discrepancy of data point spatial density distribution of various samples were amplified based on the potential difference between data points to increase the recall rate of anomalous data point detection.The experimental results show that in detecting multiple hybrid attack traffic on blockchain layers, the proposed method presents an increase in the anomaly detection accuracy and recall rate, which is 1.57% and 2.71%, respectively, compared with methods based on a single classifier integration.…”
