• Abstract: Recent network traffic classification methods benefitfrom machine learning (ML) technology. However, there aremany challenges due to use of ML, such as: lack of high-qualityannotated datasets, data-drifts and other effects causing aging ofdatasets and ML models, high volumes of network traffic etc. Thispaper argues that it is necessary to augment traditional workflowsof ML training&deployment and adapt Active Learning concepton network traffic analysis. The paper presents a novel ActiveLearning Framework (ALF) to address this topic. ALF providesprepared software components that can be used to deploy an activelearning loop and maintain an ALF instance that continuouslyevolves a dataset and ML model automatically. The resultingsolution is deployable for IP flow-based analysis of high-speed(100 Gb/s) networks, and also supports research experiments ondifferent strategies and methods for annotation, evaluation, datasetoptimization, etc. Finally, the paper lists some research challengesthat emerge from the first experiments with ALF in practice.

  Learning Active Learning (LAL) suggests to learn the active learning strategy itself, allowing it to adapt to the given setting. We propose a novel LAL method for classification that exploits symmetry and independence properties of the active learning problem. Our approach is based on learning from a myopic oracle, which gives our model the ability to adapt to non-standard objectives.

  This paper proposes a novel Few-Shot Learning (FSL)-based AL framework, which addresses the trade-off problem by incorporating a Prototypical Network (ProtoNet) in the AL iterations. This framework was validated on UCI HAR/HAPT dataset and a real-world braking maneuver dataset. The learning performance significantly surpasses traditional AL algorithms on both datasets, achieving 90% classification accuracy with 10% and 5% labeling effort, respectively.
