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:2608. 13575v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent machine learning (ML) advances have demonstrated that deep learning (DL) achieves impressive results in different application domains, including the classification of computer network traffic to corresponding applications.
The paper introduces a spatio‑temporal traffic forecasting framework that fuses Graph Neural Networks with semantic knowledge from general-purpose knowledge graphs such as Wikidata. By generating embeddings that capture relationships like nearby points of interest, administrative hierarchies, and functional roles of locations, the framework creates additional adjacency matrices that enrich the sensor graph beyond physical connectivity. Experiments with established forecasting methods demonstrate that this external knowledge improves prediction accuracy and offers a path toward better interpretability.
