TLDR
This work proposes two feature selection algorithms and investigates the performance of using these algorithms compared to a mutual information-based feature selection method, using both a linear and a non-linear measure-linear correlation coefficient and mutual information, for the feature selection.

HAST-IDS: Learning Hierarchical Spatial-Temporal Features Using Deep Neural Networks to Improve Intrusion Detection

TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel IDS called the hierarchical spatial-temporal features-based intrusion detection system (HAST-IDS), which first learns the low-level spatial features of network traffic using deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and then learns high-level temporal features using long short-term memory networks.

Feature selection based on mutual information criteria of max-dependency, max-relevance, and min-redundancy

TL;DR: In this article, the maximal statistical dependency criterion based on mutual information (mRMR) was proposed to select good features according to the maximal dependency condition. But the problem of feature selection is not solved by directly implementing mRMR.

Feature selection based on mutual information: criteria ofmax-dependency, max-relevance, and min-redundancy

TL;DR: This work derives an equivalent form, called minimal-redundancy-maximal-relevance criterion (mRMR), for first-order incremental feature selection, and presents a two-stage feature selection algorithm by combining mRMR and other more sophisticated feature selectors (e.g., wrappers).

Fast effective rule induction

TL;DR: This paper evaluates the recently-proposed rule learning algorithm IREP on a large and diverse collection of benchmark problems, and proposes a number of modifications resulting in an algorithm RIPPERk that is very competitive with C4.5 and C 4.5rules with respect to error rates, but much more efficient on large samples.
