An immune inspired model that can detect anomalies, even when trained only with normal samples, and can learn from encounters with new anomalies is presented. The model combines a negative selection algorithm and a self-organizing map (SOM) in an immune inspired architecture. The proposed system is able to produce a visual representation of the self/non-self feature space, thanks to the topological 2-dimensional map produced by the SOM. Some experiments were performed on classification data; the results are presented and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
