Federated Learning for Cross-Silo Intrusion Detection

A robust aggregation scheme for training intrusion detection models across organizational boundaries without centralizing raw traffic data, evaluated against poisoning and non-IID client distributions.

HDSE-IDS: Heterogeneous Deep Stacked Ensemble for Intrusion Detection

A stacked ensemble for intrusion detection that holds up when the network changes. GRU, LSTM, DNN and MLP base models are each trained on a different NetFlow dataset and then frozen, and a meta-learner combines them, so every domain's decision boundary survives into the final model.
