To obtain the better initial solution, the initial antibody network is introduced by self organizing map （SOM） method. In the process of the clustering iteration, a series of optimization and evolution strategies are designed, such as clustering satisfaction, the threshold design of scale compression, the learning rate, the clustering monitoring points and the clustering evaluations indexes. These strategies can make the clustering thresholds be quantified and reduce the operator’s subjective factors. Thus, the local optimal and the global optimal clustering simultaneously are proposed by the synthesized function of these strategies. Finally, the experiment and the comparisons demonstrate the proposed method effectiveness.展开更多

Computationally, this ability is shown to provide a feature reduction mechanism that could be used to reduce the complexity of a search space, a mechanism for development of highly specialized detector sets as well as a selective mechanism used in directing subsets of detectors to be activated when certain danger signals are present. It is shown that DCs, primed by different danger signals, provide a basis for different anomaly detection pathways. Different antigen-peptides are developed based on different danger signals present, and these peptides are presented to different adaptive layer detectors that correspond to the given danger signal. Experiments are then undertaken that compare current approaches, where a full antigen structure and the whole repertoire of detectors are used, with the proposed approach. Experiment results indicate that such an approach is feasible and can help reduce the complexity of the problem by significant levels. It also improves the efficiency of the system, given that only a subset of detectors are involved during the detection process. Having several different sets of detectors increases the robustness of the resulting system. Detectors developed based on peptides are also highly discriminative, which reduces the false positives rates, making the approach feasible for a real time environment.展开更多
