Deep Learning the Dynamics of Mechanical Systems

This paper examines whether complex high-dimensional data that describes the dynamics of a cantilever beam can be transformed into a less complex system. In particular, the transformation that is examined is the reduction of the dimension. An essential aspect of this study involves the implementation of a linear autoencoder, which is a type of...

Anomaly Detection and Synthetic Data Generation for Power Systems Using Autoencoder Neural Networks

The scale of the power system has been significantly expanded in recent decades. To gain real-time insights into the power system, an increasing number of sensors have been deployed tomonitor grid states, resulting in a rapidly growing number of measurement points. Simultaneously, there has also been a rise in the penetration of renewable energy...

Finding a rich lower dimensional representation

Artificial neural networks are the key driver of progress in various semantic computer vision tasks such as age prediction and digit classification. For the successful application of neural network algorithms, the representation of the data is an important factor. A good representation can significantly simplify a regression or prediction task....

On the Sequential Data Models in Side-Channel Analysis: RNN, LSTM, GRU Hyperparameters, Autoencoder and Embedding Layer

A side-channel attack is performed by analyzing unwanted physical leakage to achieve a more effective attack on the cryptographic key. An attacker performs a profiled attack when he has a physical and identical copy of the target device, meaning the attacker is in full control of the target device. Therefore, these profiled attacks are known as...

Constrained Concealment Attacks against Reconstruction-based Anomaly Detectors in Industrial Control Systems

Recently, reconstruction-based anomaly detection was proposed as an effective technique to detect attacks in dynamic industrial control networks. Unlike classical network anomaly detectors that observe the network traffic, reconstruction-based detectors operate on the measured sensor data, leveraging physical process models learned a priori....

One-Class Classification: for high-dimensional data

This M.Sc. thesis report investigates the application of one-class classification techniques to complex high-dimensional data. The aim of a one-class classifier is to separate target data from non-target data, but only a dataset containing target data is available for training. The issue with high-dimensional data is that it is difficult to...
