摘要

Neural gas network is a single-layered soft competitive neural network, which can be applied to clustering analysis with fast convergent speed comparing to Self-organizing Map (SOM), K-means etc. Combining neural gas with principal component analysis, this paper proposes a new clustering method, namely principal components analysis neural gas (PCA-NG), and the online learning algorithm is also given. The soft competitive learning of PCA-NG is based on local principal subspace, which characterizes the profile of a certain cluster. We utilize the PCA-NG to the domain of intrusion detection. Some experiments are carried out to illustrate the performance of the proposed approach by using a synthetic Gaussian-distributed dataset and the KDD CUP 1999 Intrusion Detection Evaluation dataset.
