Abstract

The problems of asymmetry in information features and redundant features in datasets, and the asymmetry of network traffic distribution in the field of network intrusion detection, have been identified as a cause of low accuracy and poor generalization of traditional machine learning detection methods in intrusion detection systems (IDSs). In response, a network intrusion detection method based on the integration of bootstrap aggregating (bagging) is proposed. The extreme random tree (ERT) algorithm was employed to calculate the weights of each feature, determine the feature subsets of different machine learning models, then randomly sample the training samples based on the bootstrap sampling method, and integrated classification and regression trees (CART), support vector machine (SVM), and k-nearest neighbor (KNN) as the base estimators of bagging. A comparison of integration methods revealed that the KNN-Bagging integration model exhibited optimal performance. Subsequently, the Bayesian optimization (BO) algorithm was employed for hyper-parameter tuning of the base estimators' KNN. Finally, the base estimators were integrated through a hard voting approach. The proposed BO-KNN-Bagging model was evaluated on the NSL-KDD dataset, achieving an accuracy of 82.48%. This result was superior to those obtained by traditional machine learning algorithms and demonstrated enhanced performance compared with other methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
