The invention discloses a
network intrusion detection feature selection method based on a multi-strategy improved neural network
algorithm, and the method comprises the steps: firstly carrying out the cleaning, normalization and
feature coding processing of original network flow data, constructing an initial feature space, and representing a
feature selection scheme in a binary vector form; then Tent
chaotic mapping is introduced to initialize a
population, and the diversity of an initial solution is enhanced by using the
ergodicity and uniformity of a
chaotic sequence; in the feature optimization process, the Levy flight strategy is adopted to update the position of a leader, the global search ability is improved through a search mechanism combining long and short steps,
local optimum is avoided, meanwhile, a follower update strategy based on the adaptive
inertia weight is designed, global exploration and local development ability is dynamically balanced, and the
algorithm convergence speed is increased; and further constructing a weighted
fitness function taking a classification error rate and a feature subset scale as double targets, evaluating candidate feature subsets, and determining a
global optimal feature subset through an elitist retention and iteration termination mechanism.
