Negative selection algorithm with constant detectors for anomaly detection

• FB-NSA and FFB-NSA generate a layer of detectors, which are around the self space.
• The detectors generated by FB-NSA and FFB-NSA in nonrandom ways.
• The detectors of FB-NSA and FFB-NSA are only related to the training samples.
• FB-NSA can detect the abnormal degree of mechanical equipment.

In the paper, two novel negative selection algorithms (NSAs) were proposed: FB-NSA and FFB-NSA. FB-NSA has two types of detectors: constant-sized detector (CFB-NSA) and variable-sized detector (VFB-NSA). The detectors of traditional NSA are generated randomly. Even for the same training samples, the position, size, and quantity of the detectors generated in each time are different. In order to eliminate the effect of training times on detectors, in the proposed approaches, detectors are generated in non-random ways. To determine the performances of the approaches, the experiments on 2-dimensional synthetic datasets, Iris dataset and ball bearing fault data were performed. Results show that FB-NSA and FFB-NSA outperforms the other anomaly detection methods in most cases. Besides, CFB-NSA can detect the abnormal degree of mechanical equipment. To determine the performances of CFB-NSA, the experiments on ball bearing fault data were performed. Results show that the abnormal degree based on the CFB-NSA can be used to diagnose the different fault types with the same fault degree, and the same fault type with the different fault degree.
