Hi, I am one of the authors of the work. MStream detects anomalies, intrusions, DoS and DDoS attacks in real time and constant memory. It is built on top of MIDAS (https://github.com/Stream-AD/MIDAS/) and works in a multi-aspect data setting i.e., entries having multiple dimensions such as event-log data, multi-attributed graphs etc. MStream is two orders of magnitude faster while achieving higher accuracy on several publicly available datasets. Github Repository: https://github.com/Stream-AD/MStream
In MStream outperforms scikit-learn algorithms in anomaly detection
Thanks for your comments. I know the documentation and examples is still a bit raw, will be working on it. When doing the implementation, I was trying to mimic the original API(https://github.com/bhatiasiddharth/MIDAS) that was done in the C++ first. This was in case someone wants to use the exact same API(for familiarity) in Go, they could. Posted this here to show that there is now a Go implementation of it. :) After this, I'll be implementing a fit/predict api that mimics SKLearn's API and showing more examples on how to use it in a streaming fashion.
In Show HN: Midas, a Streaming Anomaly Detector. Now Implemented in Go
We detect suddenly appearing bursts of activity which share many repeated nodes or edges, which we refer to as microclusters. E.g. denial of service (DoS) attacks in network traffic data and lockstep behavior. Also, we detect scenarios where an individual edge may not be anomalous but along with other edges it acts as an anomalous community. For example, in the animation at https://github.com/bhatiasiddharth/MIDAS/ it may be possible that an individual edge is not anomalous but together the three malicious entities do a coordinated DoS attack.
