QBSO-FS method enhances firewall log analysis with optimized feature selection

Researchers have developed a novel feature selection method called QBSO-FS, which utilizes a combination of bee swarm optimization and Q-learning for improved firewall log analysis. This method was tested on the UCI Internet Firewall Data Set using classifiers such as random forest, k-nearest neighbor, and Bernoulli naıve Bayes. The QBSO-FS approach successfully identified a small subset of features that significantly enhanced classification accuracy and Macro-F1 scores, particularly for random forest on deduplicated data, achieving 99.90% accuracy and 94.88% Macro-F1.

    Optimal feature selection for firewall log analysis using Machine learning and Hybrid Metaheuristic algorithms

    Firewall log classification is important to monitor network traffic. Machine learning classifiers using network-related features have shown good results for this task, but high-dimensional features slow down classification. In this paper, we apply feature selection using bee swar…
