NSL-KDD Dataset Analysis: A Machine Learning Implementation to Detect Intrusions in the Computer Network
Nilamadhab Mishra, Sarojananda Mishra · 2024
The internet has significantly altered society, including business transactions, while increasing security threats that require robust protection for computer resources. This research advocates for using machine learning techniques to enhance intrusion detection, moving beyond traditional rule-based systems. By selecting key features, we aim to identify intruders and network anomalies more efficiently. Researcher will investigate classification algorithms like random forest, logistic regression, and k-nearest neighbors using the NSL-KDD dataset. The approach incorporates confusion matrices for in-depth analysis to improve detection accuracy and reduce redundancy. Additionally, will examine challenges related to data quality, model interpretability, and ethical concerns about bias in machine learning.
