Class imbalance is a critical challenge in intrusion detection systems, often limiting the effectiveness of classifiers in low-occurrence classes on datasets like CICIDS 2017.

摘要

Class imbalance is a critical challenge in intrusion detection systems, often limiting the effectiveness of classifiers in low-occurrence classes on datasets like CICIDS 2017. We propose a novel framework leveraging Conditional Adversarial Autoencoders (CAAEs) to generate synthetic features for underrepresented attack classes. This augmentation improves dataset balance, leading to better classification performance in intrusion detection systems. By formulating binary classification tasks, we evaluated the impact of CAAE-generated data using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Compared to traditional feature generation techniques like SMOTE, CAAEs achieved superior performance even for minority classes with an average F1-Score of 99.38%.
