• Authors: Onur Barut, Yan Luo, Tong Zhang, Weigang Li, Peilong Li
• Abstract summary: We present three open datasets containing nearly 1.3M labeled flows in total. We focus on broad aspects in network traffic analysis, including both malware detection and application classification. As we continue to grow them, we expect the datasets to serve as a common ground for AI driven, reproducible research on network flow analytics.

• Abstract: Classifying network traffic is the basis for important network applications. Prior research in this area has faced challenges on the availability of representative datasets, and many of the results cannot be readily reproduced. Such a problem is exacerbated by emerging data-driven machine learning based approaches. To address this issue, we present(N et)2databasewith three open datasets containing nearly 1.3M labeled flows in total, with a comprehensive list of flow features, for there search community1. We focus on broad aspects in network traffic analysis, including both malware detection and application classification. As we continue to grow them, we expect the datasets to serve as a common ground for AI driven, reproducible research on network flow analytics. We release the datasets publicly and also introduce a Multi-Task Hierarchical Learning (MTHL)model to perform all tasks in a single model. Our results show that MTHL is capable of accurately performing multiple tasks with hierarchical labeling with a dramatic reduction in training time.

  We present a task-augmented cross-view imputation network (TACVI-Net) for handling partial multi-view incomplete multi-label classification. In the first stage, we leverage the information bottleneck theory to obtain a discriminative representation of each view. In the second stage, an autoencoder based multi-view reconstruction network is utilized to extract high-level semantic representation.

  This paper explores the phenomenon of inter-dataset code duplication and its impact on evaluating large language models (LLMs) Our findings reveal a potential threat to the evaluation of LLMs across multiple SE tasks, stemming from the inter-dataset code duplication phenomenon.

  Multi-Task Learning (MTL) is a framework, where multiple related tasks are learned jointly and benefit from a shared representation space. We show that MTL can be successful with classification tasks with little, or non-overlapping annotations. We propose a novel approach, where knowledge exchange is enabled between the tasks via distribution matching.

  We present the first results proving that feature learning occurs during training with a nonlinear model on multiple tasks. Our key insight is that multi-task pretraining induces a pseudo-contrastive loss that favors representations that align points that typically have the same label across tasks.
