FDEPCA: A Novel Adaptive Nonlinear Feature Extraction Method via Fruit Fly Olfactory Neural Network for IoMT Anomaly Detection.

Abstract

With the rapid development of 5G communication technology, the data in the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) application systems exhibits complex characteristics such as large volume, high dimensionality, nonlinearity, and diversity, which significantly affect the efficiency and detection performance of anomaly detection tasks. How to efficiently extract nonlinear features from high-dimensional data in the context of the IoMT while minimizing information distortion in data objects are challenging problems in recent academic research. A novel adaptive nonlinear feature extraction method via fruit fly olfactory neural network (Fly dimension expansion projection and remain main components by PCA, FDEPCA) is proposed, where 1) the data are mean-centered; 2) a binary sparse random projection matrix is used for dimension expansion projection; and 3) PCA is used to extract principal component information. The proposed method overcomes the problems of present nonlinear feature extraction in the face of high-dimensional outliers where the intrinsic geometric structure of the data is severely distorted and computationally expensive. The dataset after nonlinear feature extraction by the FDEPCA algorithm is applied to specific anomaly detection models, using ROC curves and AUC as evaluation metrics for classification performance. Extensive comparison experiments are conducted on eight publicly available datasets, and experimental results show that compared with the popular nonlinear feature extraction algorithms, the FDEPCA algorithm has better classification performance and projection time advantage. When applied to proximity-based, probability-based, and ensemble-based different anomaly detection models respectively, the FDEPCA algorithm exhibits strong applicability in different types of anomaly detection classifiers.
