A Study on Transferability of Deep Learning Models for Network Intrusion Detection
Shreya Ghosh, Abu Shafin Mohammad Mahdee Jameel, Aly El Gamal
In this paper, we explore transferability in learning between different attack classes in a network intrusion detection setup. We evaluate transferability of attack classes by training a deep learning model with a specific attack class and testing it on a separate attack class. We observe the effects of real and synthetically generated data augmentation techniques on transferability. We investigate the nature of observed transferability relationships, which can be either symmetric or asymmetric. We also examine explainability of the transferability relationships using the recursive feature elimination algorithm. We study data preprocessing techniques to boost model performance.
