The detection of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks is a critical challenge in network security, requiring effective and efficient solutions to safeguard data and services. This paper addresses this problem by introducing a neural network model specifically designed for DDoS attack detection. The model employs a streamlined architecture to ensure rapid processing times and high performance. A key innovation is the integration of Gaussian noise, which enhances the robustness and generalization capabilities of the model. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness and resilience of this approach, demonstrating its practicality for real-world network security applications. The findings highlight the significant role of noise regularization in improving the reliability of neural network models for detecting cyber threats.

Background: Patient subgroups are important for easily understanding a disease and for providing precise yet personalized treatment through multiple omics dataset integration. Multiomics datasets are produced daily. Thus, the fusion of heterogeneous big data into intrinsic structures is an urgent problem. Novel mathematical methods are needed to process these data in a straightforward way. Results: We developed a novel method for subgrouping patients with distinct survival rates via the integration of multiple omics datasets and by using principal component analysis to reduce the high data dimensionality. Then, we constructed similarity graphs for patients, merged the graphs in a subspace, and analyzed them on a Grassmann manifold. The proposed method could identify patient subgroups that had not been reported previously by selecting the most critical information during the merging at each level of the omics dataset. Our method was tested on empirical multiomics datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Conclusion: Through the integration of microRNA, gene expression, and DNA methylation data, our method accurately identified patient subgroups and achieved superior performance compared with popular methods.
