Streaming Analytics for Anomaly Detection in Large-Scale Data

Anomalous behavior poses serious risks to assured performance and reliability of complex, high-consequence systems. For spaceborne assets and their state-of-health (SOH) telemetry, the challenges of high-dimensional data of varying data types are compounded by computational limitations from size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints as well as data availability. Automated anomaly detection methods tend to perform poorly under these constraints, while current operational approaches can introduce delays in response time due to the manual, retrospective processes for understanding system failures. As a result, presently deployed space systems, and those deployed in the near future, face situations where mission operations might be delayed or only be able to operate under degraded capabilities. Here, we examine a near-term lightweight solution that provides real-time detection capabilities for rare events and assess state-of-the-art anomaly detection techniques against real SOH telemetry from space platforms. This report describes our methodology and research, which could support more automated capabilities for comprehensive space operations as well as for other resource-constrained edge applications.

Effects of Jacobian Matrix Regularization on the Detectability of Adversarial Samples

The well-known vulnerability of Deep Neural Networks to adversarial samples has led to a rapid cycle of increasingly sophisticated attack algorithms and proposed defenses. While most contemporary defenses have been shown to be vulnerable to carefully configured attacks, methods based on gradient regularization and out-of-distribution detection have attracted much interest recently by demonstrating higher resilience to a broad range of attack algorithms. However, no study has yet investigated the effect of combining these techniques. In this paper, we consider the effect of Jacobian matrix regularization on the detectability of adversarial samples on the CIFAR-10 image benchmark dataset. We find that regularization has a significant effect on detectability, and in some cases can make an undetectable attack on a baseline model detectable. In addition, we give evidence that regularization may mitigate the known weaknesses of detectors to high-confidence adversarial samples. The defenses we consider here are highly generalizable, and we believe they will be useful for further investigations to transfer machine learning robustness to other data domains.
