Abstract. The CSU Face Identification Evaluation System provides standard face recognition algorithms and standard statistical methods for comparing face recognition algorithms. The system includes standardized image pre-processing software, three distinct face recognition algorithms, analysis software to study algorithm performance, and Unix shell scripts to run standard experiments. All code is written in ANSI C. The preprocessing code replicates feature of preprocessing used in the FERET evaluations. The three algorithms provided are Principle Components Analysis (PCA), a.k.a Eigenfaces, a combined Principle Components Analysis and Linear Discriminant Analysis algorithm (PCA+LDA), and a Bayesian Intrapersonal/Extrapersonal Classifier (BIC). The PCA+LDA and BIC algorithms are based upon algorithms used in the FERET study contributed by the University of Maryland and MIT respectively. There are two analysis. The first takes as input a set of probe images, a set of gallery images, and similarity matrix produced by one of the three algorithms. It generates a Cumulative Match Curve of recognition rate versus recognition rank. The second analysis tool generates a sample probability distribution for recognition rate at recognition rank 1, 2, etc. It takes as input multiple images per subject, and uses Monte Carlo sampling in the space of possible probe and gallery choices. This procedure will, among other things, add standard error bars to a Cumulative Match Curve. The System is available through our website and we hope it will be used by others to rigorously compare novel face identification algorithms to standard algorithms using a common implementation and known comparison techniques.
This paper presents the development of a SCADA system testbed used for cybersecurity research. The testbed consists of a water storage tank's control system, which is a stage in the process of water treatment and distribution. Sophisticated cyber-attacks are conducted against the testbed. During the attacks, the network traffic is captured, and features are extracted from the traffic to build a dataset for training and testing different machine learning algorithms. Five traditional machine learning algorithms are trained to detect the attacks: Random Forest, Decision Tree, Logistic Regression, Naïve Bayes and KNN. After that, the trained machine learning models are built and deployed in the network, where new tests are made using online network traffic. The performance obtained during the training and test of the machine learning models is compared to the performance obtained during the online deployment of these models in the network. The results show the efficiency of the machine learning models in detecting the attacks in real time. The testbed provides a good understanding of the effects and consequences of attacks on real SCADA environments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
