Abstract With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, IoT systems have been widely applied in healthcare, transportation, home, and other fields. However, with the continuous expansion of the scale and increasing complexity of IoT systems, the stability and security issues of IoT systems have become increasingly prominent. Thus, it is crucial to detect anomalies in the collected IoT time series from various sensors. Recently, deep learning models have been leveraged for IoT anomaly detection. However, owing to the challenges associated with data labeling, most IoT anomaly detection methods resort to unsupervised learning techniques.… More >

Abstract Heart monitoring improves life quality. Electrocardiograms (ECGs or EKGs) detect heart irregularities. Machine learning algorithms can create a few ECG diagnosis processing methods. The first method uses raw ECG and time-series data. The second method classifies the ECG by patient experience. The third technique translates ECG impulses into Q waves, R waves and S waves (QRS) features using richer information. Because ECG signals vary naturally between humans and activities, we will combine the three feature selection methods to improve classification accuracy and diagnosis. Classifications using all three approaches have not been examined till now. Several More >

Abstract Time series forecasting plays an important role in various fields, such as energy, finance, transport, and weather. Temporal convolutional networks (TCNs) based on dilated causal convolution have been widely used in time series forecasting. However, two problems weaken the performance of TCNs. One is that in dilated casual convolution, causal convolution leads to the receptive fields of outputs being concentrated in the earlier part of the input sequence, whereas the recent input information will be severely lost. The other is that the distribution shift problem in time series has not been adequately solved. To address… More >

Abstract Long-term time series forecasting stands as a crucial research domain within the realm of automated machine learning (AutoML). At present, forecasting, whether rooted in machine learning or statistical learning, typically relies on expert input and necessitates substantial manual involvement. This manual effort spans model development, feature engineering, hyper-parameter tuning, and the intricate construction of time series models. The complexity of these tasks renders complete automation unfeasible, as they inherently demand human intervention at multiple junctures. To surmount these challenges, this article proposes leveraging Long Short-Term Memory, which is the variant of Recurrent Neural Networks, harnessing… More >

Abstract Time series anomaly detection is crucial in various industrial applications to identify unusual behaviors within the time series data. Due to the challenges associated with annotating anomaly events, time series reconstruction has become a prevalent approach for unsupervised anomaly detection. However, effectively learning representations and achieving accurate detection results remain challenging due to the intricate temporal patterns and dependencies in real-world time series. In this paper, we propose a cross-dimension attentive feature fusion network for time series anomaly detection, referred to as CAFFN. Specifically, a series and feature mixing block is introduced to learn representations More >

Abstract Time-series data provide important information in many fields, and their processing and analysis have been the focus of much research. However, detecting anomalies is very difficult due to data imbalance, temporal dependence, and noise. Therefore, methodologies for data augmentation and conversion of time series data into images for analysis have been studied. This paper proposes a fault detection model that uses time series data augmentation and transformation to address the problems of data imbalance, temporal dependence, and robustness to noise. The method of data augmentation is set as the addition of noise. It involves adding… More >

Abstract In the fast-evolving landscape of digital networks, the incidence of network intrusions has escalated alarmingly. Simultaneously, the crucial role of time series data in intrusion detection remains largely underappreciated, with most systems failing to capture the time-bound nuances of network traffic. This leads to compromised detection accuracy and overlooked temporal patterns. Addressing this gap, we introduce a novel SSAE-TCN-BiLSTM (STL) model that integrates time series analysis, significantly enhancing detection capabilities. Our approach reduces feature dimensionality with a Stacked Sparse Autoencoder (SSAE) and extracts temporally relevant features through a Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) and Bidirectional Long… More >

Abstract Accurate forecasting of time series is crucial across various domains. Many prediction tasks rely on effectively segmenting, matching, and time series data alignment. For instance, regardless of time series with the same granularity, segmenting them into different granularity events can effectively mitigate the impact of varying time scales on prediction accuracy. However, these events of varying granularity frequently intersect with each other, which may possess unequal durations. Even minor differences can result in significant errors when matching time series with future trends. Besides, directly using matched events but unaligned events as state vectors in machine… More >

Abstract This work carried out a measurement study of the Ethereum Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network to gain a better understanding of the underlying nodes. Ethereum was applied because it pioneered distributed applications, smart contracts, and Web3. Moreover, its application layer language “Solidity” is widely used in smart contracts across different public and private blockchains. To this end, we wrote a new Ethereum client based on Geth to collect Ethereum node information. Moreover, various web scrapers have been written to collect nodes’ historical data from the Internet Archive and the Wayback Machine project. The collected data has been… More >
