Abstract

A semi-supervised clustering algorithm based on the traditional k-means algorithm is proposed for network anomaly detection. We improve the original algorithm mainly in three aspects. First, the number of clusters is automatically decided by merging and splitting of clusters. Second, a small portion of labeled samples are employed to supervise the clustering process in the merging and splitting stage. Also, we modify the algorithm to directly process the symbolic attribute values. Experimental result on the KDD 99 intrusion detection datasets shows that our algorithm has high detection rate while maintaining a low false positive rate.
