Towards improving detection performance for malware with a correntropy-based deep learning method

With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, the detection and analysis of malware have become a matter of concern in the industrial application of Cyber-Physical System (CPS) that provides various services using the IoT paradigm. Currently, many advanced machine learning methods such as deep learning are popular in the research of malware detection and analysis, and some achievements have been made so far. However, there are also some problems. For example, considering the noise and outliers in the existing datasets of malware, some methods are not robust enough. Therefore, the accuracy of malware classification still needs to be improved. Aiming at this issue, we propose a novel method that combines the correntropy and the deep learning model. In our proposed method for malware detection and analysis, given the success of the mixture correntropy as an effective similarity measure in addressing complex datasets with noise, it is therefore incorporated into a popular deep learning model, i.e., Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), to reconstruct its loss function, with the purpose of further detecting the features of outliers. We present the detailed design process of our method. Furthermore, the proposed method is tested both on a real-world malware dataset and a popular benchmark dataset to verify its learning performance.

Correntropy: Implications of nonGaussianity for the moment expansion and deconvolution

The recently introduced correntropy function is an interesting and useful similarity measure between two random variables which has found myriad applications in signal processing. A series expansion for correntropy in terms of higher-order moments of the difference between the two random variables has been used to try to explain its statistical properties for uses such as deconvolution. We examine the existence and form of this expansion, showing that it may be divergent, e.g., when the difference has the Laplace distribution, and give sufficient conditions for its existence for differently characterized sub-Gaussian distributions. The contribution of the higher-order moments can be quite surprising, depending on the size of the Gaussian kernel in the definition of the correntropy. In the blind deconvolution setting we demonstrate that statistical exchangeability explains the existence of sub-optimal minima in the correntropy cost surface and show how the positions of these minima are controlled by the size of the Gaussian kernel.

Novel method based on fractional lower-order correntropy-analogous statistics for parameter jointly estimation in bistatic MIMO radar

According to the performance degradation problem of parameter estimation algorithm in the Alpha stable dis-tribution noise, inspired by the concept of correntropy, a new class of statistics, namely, the fractional lower-order cor-rentropy-analogous statistics (FCAS) was proposed. By employing the fractional lower-order correntropy-analogous sta-tistics based cost function in parallel factor (PARAFAC), the FCAS-PARAFAC algorithm was deduced which can be utilized for the parallel factor under impulsive noise environments. The FCAS-PARAFAC algorithm was applied to pa-rameter estimation in bistatic MIMO radar under impulsive noise environment. The proposed method can suppress the impulse noise interference and has better estimation performance. Furthermore, the estimated parameters are automati-cally paired without the additional pairing method. Simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the pro-posed method.

Correntropy: Properties and Applications in Non-Gaussian Signal Processing

The optimality of second-order statistics depends heavily on the assumption of Gaussianity. In this paper, we elucidate further the probabilistic and geometric meaning of the recently defined correntropy function as a localized similarity measure. A close relationship between correntropy and M-estimation is established. Connections and differences between correntropy and kernel methods are presented. As such correntropy has vastly different properties compared with second-order statistics that can be very useful in non-Gaussian signal processing, especially in the impulsive noise environment. Examples are presented to illustrate the technique.     

Quality-of-service signaling for next-generation IP-based mobile networks

We present a novel end-to-end QoS architecture that enables seamless services over heterogeneous wireless access networks. We discuss the main architectural approaches and design issues of mobility-aware QoS signaling in IP networks. Then we introduce a QoS signaling architecture that integrates resource management with mobility management. It is based on a domain resource manager concept and nicely supports various handover types in an integrated approach. In particular, we support anticipated handover with pre-reservation of resources over the old network before the mobile node is attached to the new access point.     

Goodness-of-fit tests based on spacings for progressively type-II censored data from a general location-scale distribution

There has been extensive research on goodness-of-fit procedures for testing whether or not a sample comes from a specified distribution. These goodness-of-fit tests range from graphical techniques, to tests which exploit characterization results for the specified underlying model. In this article, we propose a goodness-of-fit test for the location-scale family based on progressively Type-II censored data. The test statistic is based on sample spacings, and generalizes a test procedure proposed by Tiku . The distribution of the test statistic is shown to be approximated closely by a s-normal distribution. However, in certain situations it would be better to use simulated critical values instead of the s-normal approximation. We examine the performance of this test for the s-normal and extreme-value (Gumbel) models against different alternatives through Monte Carlo simulations. We also discuss two methods of power approximation based on s-normality, and compare the results with those obtained by simulation. Results of the simulation study for a wide range of sample sizes, censoring schemes, and different alternatives reveal that the proposed test has good power properties in detecting departures from the s-normal and Gumbel distributions. Finally, we illustrate the method proposed here using real data from a life-testing experiment. It is important to mention here that this test can be extended to multi-sample situations in a manner similar to that of Balakrishnan et al.     

Array redundancy for active line arrays

Active imaging arrays are used to image scenes composed of reflectors of transmitted radiation, and in many such applications, line arrays are employed. In this paper, we discuss scanned active line arrays for imaging based on image synthesis. We define the novel concept of array redundancy for active arrays, analogous to the well-known concept of redundancy applied to passive arrays, and we define and give examples of minimum redundancy and reduced redundancy line arrays composed of transmit/receive elements. Such arrays differ from their passive imaging counterparts both in geometry and in element count.     

A New Test Point Selection Method for Analog Continuous Parameter Fault

Discrete hard fault is always tested in existing node selection methods for analog circuit diagnosis. Actually, analog component parameter changes continuously and output node voltages distribute in a continuous voltage interval. In this paper, an novel test node selection method is proposed for continuous parameter shifting (CPS) fault. Firstly, CPS faults are sampled by parameter scan simulation in a single test frequency. Collected node voltages are seen as a data set in a statistical distribution. Secondly, ambiguous faults are identified according to the independent distributions of all CPS faults. The independence of CPS fault sample is deduced by Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric testing. Then, new fault dictionaries are generated for each test node according to ambiguous interval. The proposed fault dictionary represents the mutual independence of each pair of CPS faults. Finally, as fault dictionaries are considered as connected graphs, the optimal test nodes are selected based on an improved depth first search (DFS) algorithm. The effectiveness of method is verified by testing linear and nonlinear circuits.
