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.

The paper introduces a GAN‑based framework for detecting DDoS attacks that are designed to evade traditional security systems. It combines Random Forests, Deep Neural Ensembles, and Transformer models trained on the CICDDoS2019 dataset with synthetic adversarial traffic generated by a WGAN‑GP. Experiments show that this hybrid training significantly improves detection accuracy and resilience against unseen adversarial traffic, and real‑world tests confirm its practical effectiveness.
