A Two-Stage Classifier Approach using RepTree Algorithm for Network Intrusion Detection

Author 1: Mustapha Belouch Author 2: Salah El Hadaj Author 3: Mohamed Idhammad

In this paper, we present a two-stage classifier based on RepTree algorithm and protocols subset for network intrusion detection system. To evaluate the performance of our approach, we used the UNSW-NB15 data set and the NSL-KDD data set. In first phase our approach divides the incoming network traffics into three… Read full abstract & cite →

On FPGA Implementation of a Continuous-Discrete Time Observer for Sensorless Induction Machine using Simulink HDL Coder

Author 1: Moez Besbes Author 2: Salim Hadj Sad Author 3: Faouzi M’Sahli Author 4: Monther Farza

This paper deals with the design of a continuousdiscrete time high gain observer (CDHGO) for sensorless control of an induction machine (IM). Only two weakly sampled stator current measurements are used to achieve a real-time estimation of the rotor flux, the mechanical speed and the load torque. The feasibility of… Read full abstract & cite →

A Feature Selection Algorithm based on Mutual Information using Local Non-uniformity Correction Estimator

Author 1: Ahmed I. Sharaf Author 2: Mohamed Abu El-Soud Author 3: Ibrahim El-Henawy

Feature subset selection is an effective approach used to select a compact subset of features from the original set. This approach is used to remove irrelevant and redundant features from datasets. In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed to select the best subset of features based on mutual information… Read full abstract & cite →
