Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional techniques face challenges in obtaining sufficient feature amounts from traffic data, particularly due to the rarity of malicious traffic data, which can lead to decreased model accuracy for classification tasks.

Innovation Solution

An extraction device that processes traffic data to generate first and second feature vectors by aggregating data for predetermined targets, sampling traffic data multiple times, and discarding feature vectors that are too far from the original data, thereby increasing the number of feature amounts available for training and prediction models.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If traffic data is aggregated for each predetermined target to generate feature vectors, then model training becomes feasible, but the number of available feature amounts remains insufficient due to rarity of malicious traffic

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of feature amountsVSAvoidmodel accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies copying by generating multiple second feature vectors from a single first feature vector through feature amount reproduction processing. This creates synthetic copies of feature data that can be used for training without requiring additional actual malicious traffic data, thereby increasing the quantity of training features while maintaining reliability through controlled reproduction rather than random sampling

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing feature vectors from available traffic data before model training begins. The feature amount reproduction processing is performed in advance to generate multiple second feature vectors, so that when model training is needed, sufficient feature amounts are already prepared without requiring real-time data collection during the training process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
