How are anomalous edges (triplet pairings) different from anomalous communities?
- siddhartb_ 6y agoWe detect suddenly appearing bursts of activity which share many repeated nodes or edges, which we refer to as microclusters. E.g. denial of service (DoS) attacks in network traffic data and lockstep behavior. Also, we detect scenarios where an individual edge may not be anomalous but along with other edges it acts as an anomalous community. For example, in the animation at https://github.com/bhatiasiddharth/MIDAS/ https://github.com/bhatiasiddharth/MIDAS/ it may be possible that an individual edge is not anomalous but together the three malicious entities do a coordinated DoS attack.
