Abstract

Unbalanced datasets are a common problem in supervised machine learning. It leads to a deeper understanding of the majority of classes in machine learning. Therefore, the machine learning model is more effective at recognizing the majority classes than the minority classes. Naturally, imbalanced data, such as disease data and data networking, has emerged in real life. DDOS is one of the network intrusions found to happen more often than R2L. There is an imbalance in the composition of network attacks in Intrusion Detection System (IDS) public datasets such as NSL-KDD and UNSW-NB15. Besides, researchers propose many techniques to transform it into balanced data by duplicating the minority class and producing synthetic data. Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) and Adaptive Synthetic (ADASYN) algorithms duplicate the data and construct synthetic data for the minority classes. Meanwhile, machine learning algorithms can capture the labeled data's pattern by considering the input features. Unfortunately, not all the input features have an equal impact on the output (predicted class or value). Some features are interrelated and misleading. Therefore, the important features should be selected to produce a good model. In this research, we implement the recursive feature elimination (RFE) technique to select important features from the available dataset. According to the experiment, SMOTE provides a better synthetic dataset than ADASYN for the UNSW-B15 dataset with a high level of imbalance. RFE feature selection slightly reduces the model's accuracy but improves the training speed. Then, the Decision Tree classifier consistently achieves a better recognition rate than Random Forest and KNN.
