The paper proposes a human-centered framework for validating the semantic soundness of machine learning models used in network traffic classification. It extends existing knowledge-generation methods by integrating data, models, explainability tools, visualizations, and expert reasoning to iteratively explore, verify, and refine model behavior and preprocessing steps. The framework is built on literature findings, benchmark analyses, XAI experience, and expert feedback, offering practical guidance for ensuring models learn trustworthy, semantically meaningful patterns rather than spurious correlations.

arXiv:2504. 01882v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The use of DNS over HTTPS (DoH) tunneling by an attacker to hide malicious activity within encrypted DNS traffic poses a serious threat to network security, as it allows malicious actors to bypass traditional monitoring and intrusion detection systems while evading detection by conventional traffic analysis techniques.
RiskTraf introduces a risk-extrapolated residual learning approach for multi-variate traffic flow prediction, leveraging raw flow, speed, and occupancy data from the new PEMSB-3V benchmark. The method freezes a trained spatio-temporal backbone and adds a lightweight residual head that learns from historical speed and occupancy to correct flow predictions across different traffic regimes. Experiments show consistent improvements over various backbones and outperform existing debiasing and distribution-shift adaptation techniques.
