Abstract

Deep Residual Networks (ResNets) are prone to overfitting in problems with uncertainty, such as intrusion detection problems. To alleviate this problem, we proposed a method that combines the Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and the ResNet algorithm. This method can make use of the advantages of both the ANFIS and ResNet, and alleviate the overfitting problem of ResNet. Compared with the original ResNet algorithm, the proposed method provides overlapped intervals of continuous attributes and fuzzy rules to ResNet, improving the fuzziness of ResNet. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, the proposed method is realized and evaluated on the benchmark NSL-KDD dataset. Also, the performance of the proposed method is compared with the original ResNet algorithm and other deep learning-based and ANFIS-based methods. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is better than that of the original ResNet and other existing methods on various metrics, reaching a 98.88% detection rate and 1.11% false alarm rate on the KDDTrain+ dataset.
