Due to various locational prices and regional coherencies for each node and point, modified similarity measure was considered to gather nodes having similar characteristics. The similarity measure was needed to contain locafi0nal prices as well as regional coherency. In order to consider the two properties simultaneously, distance measure of fuzzy C-mean algorithm had to be modified. Regional clustering algorithm for interconnected power systems was designed based on the modified fuzzy C-mean algorithm. The proposed algorithm produces proper classification for the interconnected power system and the results are demonstrated in the example of IEEE 39-bus interconnected electricity system.展开更多

The model based on the real needs of different objects is built, making it clear to decide whether to proceed with further determination; in addition, the external user-defined suppressed parameter is automatically selected according to the intrinsic structural characteristic of each dataset, making the proposed method become robust to the fluctuations in the incoming dataset and initial conditions. Experimental results show that the proposed method is more robust than its counterparts and overcomes the weakness of the original suppressed clustering algorithm in most cases.展开更多

However, selecting an appropriate fuzzifier (m) is crucial in identifying an optimal number of patterns and achieving higher clustering accuracy, which few studies have investigated. Built upon two existing methods on selecting fuzzifier, we developed an integrated fuzzifier evaluation and selection algorithm and tested it using real datasets. Our findings indicate that the consistent optimal number of clusters can be learnt from testing different fuzzifiers for each dataset and the fuzzifier with the lowest value for this consistency should be selected for clustering. Our evaluation also shows that the fuzzifier impacts the clustering accuracy. For longitudinal data with missing values, m = 2 could be an empirical rule to start fuzzy clustering, and the best clustering accuracy was achieved for tested data, especially using our multiple-imputation based fuzzy clustering.展开更多

文摘Since its inception,the Internet has been rapidly evolving.With the advancement of science and technology and the explosive growth of the population,the demand for the Internet has been on the rise.Many applications in education,healthcare,entertainment,science,and more are being increasingly deployed based on the internet.Concurrently,malicious threats on the internet are on the rise as well.Distributed Denial of Service(DDoS)attacks are among the most common and dangerous threats on the internet today.The scale and complexity of DDoS attacks are constantly growing.Intrusion Detection Systems(IDS)have been deployed and have demonstrated their effectiveness in defense against those threats.In addition,the research of Machine Learning(ML)and Deep Learning(DL)in IDS has gained effective results and significant attention.However,one of the challenges when applying ML and DL techniques in intrusion detection is the identification of unknown attacks.These attacks,which are not encountered during the system’s training,can lead to misclassification with significant errors.In this research,we focused on addressing the issue of Unknown Attack Detection,combining two methods:Spatial Location Constraint Prototype Loss(SLCPL)and Fuzzy C-Means(FCM).With the proposed method,we achieved promising results compared to traditional methods.The proposed method demonstrates a very high accuracy of up to 99.8%with a low false positive rate for known attacks on the Intrusion Detection Evaluation Dataset(CICIDS2017)dataset.Particularly,the accuracy is also very high,reaching 99.7%,and the precision goes up to 99.9%for unknown DDoS attacks on the DDoS Evaluation Dataset(CICDDoS2019)dataset.The success of the proposed method is due to the combination of SLCPL,an advanced Open-Set Recognition(OSR)technique,and FCM,a traditional yet highly applicable clustering technique.This has yielded a novel method in the field of unknown attack detection.This further expands the trend of applying DL and ML techniques in the development of intrusion detection systems and cybersecurity.Finally,implementing the proposed method in real-world systems can enhance the security capabilities against increasingly complex threats on computer networks.

文摘Aimed at the problem that the traditional suppressed fuzzy C-means clustering algorithms ignore the real needs of different objects, applying the same suppressed parameter for modifying membership degrees of all the objects, a novel partition region-based suppressed fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm with better capacity of adaptability and robustness is proposed in this paper. The model based on the real needs of different objects is built, making it clear to decide whether to proceed with further determination; in addition, the external user-defined suppressed parameter is automatically selected according to the intrinsic structural characteristic of each dataset, making the proposed method become robust to the fluctuations in the incoming dataset and initial conditions. Experimental results show that the proposed method is more robust than its counterparts and overcomes the weakness of the original suppressed clustering algorithm in most cases.
文摘Fingerprint segmentation is a crucial step in fingerprint recognition system, and determines the results of fingerprint analysis and recognition. This paper proposes an efficient approach for fingerprint segmentation based on modified fuzzy c-means (FCM). The proposed method is realized by modifying the objective function in the Szilagyi’s algorithm via introducing histogram-based weight. Experimental results show that the proposed approach has an efficient performance while segmenting both original fingerprint image and fingerprint images corrupted by different type of noises.
文摘Fuzzy C-means (FCM) is simple and widely used for complex data pattern recognition and image analyses. However, selecting an appropriate fuzzifier (m) is crucial in identifying an optimal number of patterns and achieving higher clustering accuracy, which few studies have investigated. Built upon two existing methods on selecting fuzzifier, we developed an integrated fuzzifier evaluation and selection algorithm and tested it using real datasets. Our findings indicate that the consistent optimal number of clusters can be learnt from testing different fuzzifiers for each dataset and the fuzzifier with the lowest value for this consistency should be selected for clustering. Our evaluation also shows that the fuzzifier impacts the clustering accuracy. For longitudinal data with missing values, m = 2 could be an empirical rule to start fuzzy clustering, and the best clustering accuracy was achieved for tested data, especially using our multiple-imputation based fuzzy clustering.
