TITLE OptiSVM-PSO: Particle Swarm Optimized Support Vector Machine for Intrusion Detection in Network Traffic
ABSTRACT The OptiSVM-PSO Optimised SVM is a machine learning–based intrusion detection system developed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of network traffic classification. Traditional Support Vector Machine (SVM) models often depend heavily on manual hyperparameter tuning, which can limit their performance. To overcome this, the proposed system integrates Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to automatically determine optimal values for key parameters such as the regularization factor (C) and kernel coefficient (gamma). The model is trained on the CICIDS dataset, which includes both normal traffic and various cyberattacks such as DDoS, DoS, PortScan, and brute-force attacks. Data preprocessing techniques, including cleaning, feature scaling, and label encoding, are applied to enhance model reliability. The optimized model demonstrates improved performance using evaluation metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and ROC-AUC. Additionally, t-SNE visualization is used to analyze feature separability. The system is further implemented using a Flask-based backend and a web-based dashboard to simulate real-time intrusion detection, making it a scalable and practical solution for modern cybersecurity applications.
