- We still need good systems to detect when someone is trying to break into our computers and stop them quickly. These systems have to be able to handle a lot of information and figure out if something suspicious is happening.
- The paper talks about different types of these systems and how they are organized. It focuses on two specific kinds called shallow and deep networks.
- The authors look at what other people have done in this area and explain how machine learning can help us find unusual activity.
- Choosing the right things to pay attention to is really important for these systems to work well. It affects how accurate they are at finding problems.
- The paper also talks about how often the system might make mistakes by thinking there's a problem when there isn't or missing a real problem."

Shallow and Deep Networks Intrusion Detection System: A Taxonomy and Survey
Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are an important component of computer security, allowing for the identification of malicious activity on networks. The paper titled "Shallow and Deep Networks Intrusion Detection System: A Taxonomy and Survey" by Elike Hodo, Xavier Bellekens, Andrew Hamilton, Christos Tachtatzis, and Robert Atkinson explores the field of intrusion detection systems. In this paper, the authors present a taxonomy and survey specifically focused on shallow and deep networks intrusion detection systems.
Background
The authors highlight that reliable and efficient IDS are still needed to handle large amounts of data in real-time situations with changing patterns. As such, machine learning techniques have been used to detect anomalies in network traffic which can indicate malicious activities. To provide an overview of these techniques used for anomaly detection, the authors review previous works in this area as well as current research trends.
Main Contributions
The main contribution of this work is the classification of IDS into two categories - shallow networks (SNs) or deep neural networks (DNNs). SNs use traditional supervised learning algorithms such as support vector machines (SVMs), while DNNs use more complex architectures such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Additionally, they address false positive alarm rates which helps researchers model reliable and efficient machine learning-based intrusion detection systems.
Feature Selection
One important aspect discussed in the paper is feature selection which plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of machine learning-based IDS. Feature selection involves selecting relevant features from a dataset that can be used to train a model for anomaly detection. The authors explain how feature selection influences both the classification phase where features are selected based on their relevance to detecting anomalies; as well as training phase where features are selected based on their ability to improve accuracy when training models using supervised or unsupervised methods.
False Positive Alarm Rates
The authors also discuss false positive alarm rates which help researchers build effective intrusion detection systems by reducing false alarms generated by IDS models trained using machine learning techniques. False positives occur when an IDS incorrectly identifies benign network traffic as malicious activity due to incorrect assumptions made during training or misclassification errors caused by noisy data sets or outliers present within datasets used for training models for anomaly detection tasks. By addressing false positive alarm rates through careful feature selection during both classification phase and training phase; researchers can build more reliable machine learning-based intrusion detection systems that generate fewer false alarms without compromising accuracy levels significantly when compared with existing solutions available today.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this paper provides a comprehensive analysis of shallow and deep networks intrusion detection systems offering insights into machine learning techniques used for anomaly detection emphasizing the importance of feature selection in IDS performance as well discussing alarm rates to aid researchers in building effective intrusion detection systems
Intrusion detection has attracted a considerable interest from researchers and industries. The community, after many years of research, still faces the problem of building reliable and efficient IDS that are capable of handling large quantities of data, with changing patterns in real time situations. The work presented in this manuscript classifies intrusion detection systems (IDS). Moreover, a taxonomy and survey of shallow and deep networks intrusion detection systems is presented based on previous and current works. This taxonomy and survey reviews machine learning techniques and their performance in detecting anomalies. Feature selection which influences the effectiveness of machine learning (ML) IDS is discussed to explain the role of feature selection in the classification and training phase of ML IDS. Finally, a discussion of the false and true positive alarm rates is presented to help researchers model reliable and efficient machine learning based intrusion detection systems.
