    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network obtains characteristic data regarding one or more traffic flows in the network. The device incrementally estimates an amount of noise associated with a machine learning feature using bootstrapping. The machine learning feature is derived from the sampled characteristic data. The device applies a filter to the estimated amount of noise associated with the machine learning feature, to determine a value for the machine learning feature. The device identifies a network anomaly that exists in the network by using the determined value for the machine learning feature as input to a machine learning-based anomaly detector. The device causes performance of an anomaly mitigation action based on the identified network anomaly.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network maintains a plurality of anomaly detection models for different sets of aggregated traffic data regarding traffic in the network. The device determines a measure of confidence in a particular one of the anomaly detection models that evaluates a particular set of aggregated traffic data. The device dynamically replaces the particular anomaly detection model with a second anomaly detection model configured to evaluate the particular set of aggregated traffic data and has a different model capacity than that of the particular anomaly detection model. The device provides an anomaly event notification to a supervisory controller based on a combined output of the second anomaly detection model and of one or more of the anomaly detection models in the plurality of anomaly detection models.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network receives sets of traffic flow features from an unsupervised machine learning-based anomaly detector. The sets of traffic flow features are associated with anomaly scores determined by the anomaly detector. The device ranks the sets of traffic flow features based in part on their anomaly scores. The device applies a genetic programming approach to the ranked sets of traffic flow features to generate new sets of traffic flow features. The genetic programming approach uses a fitness function that is based in part on the rankings of the sets of traffic flow features. The device specializes the anomaly detector to emphasize a particular type of anomaly using the new sets of traffic flow features.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device obtains characteristics of a first anomaly detection model executed by a first distributed learning agent in a network. The device receives a query from a second distributed learning agent in the network that requests identification of a similar anomaly detection to that of a second anomaly detection model executed by the second distributed learning agent. The device identifies, after receiving the query from the second distributed learning agent, the first anomaly detection model as being similar to that of the second anomaly detection model, based on the characteristics of the first anomaly detection model. The device causes the first anomaly detection model to be sent to the second distributed learning agent for execution.
