MalIoT: Scalable and Real-time Malware Traffic Detection for IoT Networks

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The machine learning approach is vital in Internet of Things (IoT) malware traffic detection due to its ability to keep pace with the ever-evolving nature of malware. Machine learning algorithms can quickly and accurately analyze the vast amount of data produced by IoT devices, allowing for the real-time identification of malicious network traffic. The system can handle the exponential growth of IoT devices thanks to the usage of distributed systems like Apache Kafka and Apache Spark, and Intel's oneAPI software stack accelerates model inference speed, making it a useful tool for real-time malware traffic detection. These technologies work together to create a system that can give scalable performance and high accuracy, making it a crucial tool for defending against cyber threats in smart communities and medical institutions.


Stochastic Linear Bandits with Hidden Low Rank Structure

arXiv.org Machine Learning

High-dimensional representations often have a lower dimensional underlying structure. This is particularly the case in many decision making settings. For example, when the representation of actions is generated from a deep neural network, it is reasonable to expect a low-rank structure whereas conventional structures like sparsity are not valid anymore. Subspace recovery methods, such as Principle Component Analysis (PCA) can find the underlying low-rank structures in the feature space and reduce the complexity of the learning tasks. In this work, we propose Projected Stochastic Linear Bandit (PSLB), an algorithm for high dimensional stochastic linear bandits (SLB) when the representation of actions has an underlying low-dimensional subspace structure. PSLB deploys PCA based projection to iteratively find the low rank structure in SLBs. We show that deploying projection methods assures dimensionality reduction and results in a tighter regret upper bound that is in terms of the dimensionality of the subspace and its properties, rather than the dimensionality of the ambient space. We modify the image classification task into the SLB setting and empirically show that, when a pre-trained DNN provides the high dimensional feature representations, deploying PSLB results in significant reduction of regret and faster convergence to an accurate model compared to state-of-art algorithm.
