The study compares XGBoost and RoBERTa‑LoRA for network intrusion detection across three evaluation axes: same‑dataset performance, cross‑dataset transfer, and adversarial evasion. Both models perform similarly on the same dataset, but XGBoost outperforms RoBERTa‑LoRA by 15 F1 points and 25 balanced accuracy points when transferred to a different network, while RoBERTa‑LoRA wins by about 17 F1 points under adversarial evasion. Feature‑leakage ablation shows that cross‑dataset transfer improvements are non‑monotonic and directional, suggesting leakage is spread across features rather than isolated. "whyItMatters":"The findings demonstrate that a model’s superiority depends on the specific robustness axis evaluated, underscoring the need for multi‑axis, multi‑metric testing in network intrusion detection research."

We’ve developed a method to assess whether a neural network classifier can reliably defend against adversarial attacks not seen during training. Our method yields a new metric, UAR (Unforeseen Attack Robustness), which evaluates the robustness of a single model against an unanticipated attack, and highlights the need to measure performance across a more diverse range of unforeseen attacks.
