- Abstract:

Regarding the lack of explainability in existing network traffic anomaly detection models, this study proposed an explainable network traffic anomaly detection model with coupled evolutionary sampling and deep decoding. First, evolutionary sampling learning is introduced to extract representative feature samples, whereby a strongly explainable sample encoding process is implemented. Second, a coupled learning model of the explainable evolutionary sample encoding process and the unexplainable deep neural network decoding process is constructed. Finally, anomaly detection is performed using the sample encoding results and reconstruction errors. The experimental analysis on NSL-KDD and CICIDS2017 datasets are executed for our model and some existing methods, and corresponding results show that our model can significantly improve model explainability and scale efficiency and achieve the same level of detection performance as existing optimal methods. In addition, our proposed joint learning strategy may provide a highly distinctive scheme reference for the development of explainable machine learning methods.
