Network intrusion detection plays a very important role in protecting computer network security. The abnormal traffic detection and analysis by extracting the statistical features of flow is the main analysis method in the field of network intrusion detection. However, these features need to be designed and extracted manually, which often loses the original information of the flow and leads to poor detection efficiency. In this paper, we do not manually design the features of the flow but directly extract the raw data information of the flow for analysis. In addition, we first proposed a new network intrusion detection model named the deep hierarchical network, which integrates the improved LeNet-5 and LSTM neural network structures, while learning the spatial and temporal features of flow. By designing a reasonable network cascading method, we can train our proposed hierarchical network at the same time instead of training two networks separately. In this paper, we use the CICIDS2017 dataset and the CTU dataset. The number and types of flow in these two datasets are large, and the attack types are relatively new. The experimental results show that the performance of the proposed hierarchical network model is significantly better than other network intrusion detection models, which can achieve the best detection accuracy. Finally, we also present an analysis method for traffic features which has an important contribution to abnormal traffic detection and gives the actual meanings of these important features.

Joint radar and communication (JRC) technology has become important for civil and military applications for decades. This paper introduces the concepts, characteristics and advantages of JRC technology, presenting the typical applications that have benefited from JRC technology currently and in the future. This paper explores the state-of-the-art of JRC in the levels of coexistence, cooperation, co-design and collaboration. Compared to previous surveys, this paper reviews the entire trends that drive the development of radar sensing and wireless communication using JRC. Specifically, we explore an open research issue on radar and communication operating with mutual benefits based on collaboration, which represents the fourth stage of JRC evolution. This paper provides useful perspectives for future researches of JRC technology.

Network attack behavior detection using deep learning is an important research topic in the field of network security. Currently, there are still many challenges in detecting multi-class imbalanced abnormal traffic data. This paper proposed a new intrusion detection network based on deep learning, named parallel cross convolutional neural network (PCCN), to improve the detection performance of imbalanced abnormal flows. By fusing the flow features learned from the two branch convolutional neural networks (CNN), PCCN can better learn the flow features with fewer samples, to improve the detection results of the imbalanced abnormal flows. We proposed an improved feature extraction method of the original flow to extract multi-class flow features at the same time. The proposed algorithm not only reduces the number of useless elements for network learning, but also accelerates network convergence. In addition, we proposed four improved versions of the PCCN network structure to meet the real-time requirements of network intrusion detection in the current big data computing. These networks can achieve almost the same detection results as the PCCN, but greatly reduce the detection time of data. Through the analysis of highorder evaluation metrics, the proposed PCCN algorithm is significantly better than the traditional machine learning algorithms. Compared with the current hierarchical network model, PCCN can also achieve better performance in term of overall accuracy.

The BIG Data Center at Beijing Institute of Genomics (BIG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences provides a suite of database resources in support of worldwide research activities in both academia and industry. With the vast amounts of multi-omics data generated at unprecedented scales and rates, the BIG Data Center is continually expanding, updating and enriching its core database resources through big data integration and value-added curation. Resources with significant updates in the past year include BioProject (a biological project library), BioSample (a biological sample library), Genome Sequence Archive (GSA, a data repository for archiving raw sequence reads), Genome Warehouse (GWH, a centralized resource housing genome-scale data), Genome Variation Map (GVM, a public repository of genome variations), Science Wikis (a catalog of biological knowledge wikis for community annotations) and IC4R (Information Commons for Rice). Newly released resources include EWAS Atlas (a knowledgebase of epigenome-wide association studies), iDog (an integrated omics data resource for dog) and RNA editing resources (for editome-disease associations and plant RNA editosome, respectively). To promote biodiversity and health big data sharing around the world, the Open Biodiversity and Health Big Data (BHBD) initiative is introduced. All of these resources are publicly accessible at http://bigd.big.ac.cn.

Social media data provide a great opportunity to investigate event flow in cities. Despite the advantages of social media data in these investigations, the data heterogeneity and big data size pose challenges to researchers seeking to identify useful information about events from the raw data. In addition, few studies have used social media posts to capture how events develop in space and time. This paper demonstrates an efficient approach based on machine learning and geovisualization to identify events and trace the development of these events in real-time. We conducted an empirical study to delineate the temporal and spatial evolution of a natural event (heavy precipitation) and a social event (Pope Francis' visit to the US) in the New York City-Washington, DC regions. By investigating multiple features of Twitter data (message, author, time, and geographic location information), this paper demonstrates how voluntary local knowledge from tweets can be used to depict city dynamics, discover spatiotemporal characteristics of events, and convey real-time information.
