• Abstract: This research proposes a machine learning-based attack detection model for power systems, specifically targeting smart grids. By utilizing data and logs collected from Phasor Measuring Devices (PMUs), the model aims to learn system behaviors and effectively identify potential security boundaries. The proposed approach involves crucial stages including dataset pre-processing, feature selection, model creation, and evaluation. To validate our approach, we used a dataset used, consist of 15 separate datasets obtained from different PMUs, relay snort alarms and logs. Three machine learning models: Random Forest, Logistic Regression, and K-Nearest Neighbour were built and evaluated using various performance metrics. The findings indicate that the Random Forest model achieves the highest performance with an accuracy of 90.56% in detecting power system disturbances and has the potential in assisting operators in decision-making processes.

  Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is an indispensable aspect of secure AI when deploying machine learning models in real-world applications. We propose a novel method, Unleashing Mask, which aims to restore the OOD discriminative capabilities of the well-trained model with ID data. Our method utilizes a mask to figure out the memorized atypical samples, and then finetune the model or prune it with the introduced mask to forget them.

  This paper presents CARLA-GeAR, a tool for the automatic generation of synthetic datasets for evaluating the robustness of neural models against physical adversarial patches. The tool is built on the CARLA simulator, using its Python API, and allows the generation of datasets for several vision tasks in the context of autonomous driving. The paper presents an experimental study to evaluate the performance of some defense methods against such attacks, showing how the datasets generated with CARLA-GeAR might be used in future work as a benchmark for adversarial defense in the real world.
