Abstract
In one embodiment, a device in a network receives sets of traffic flow features from an unsupervised machine learning-based anomaly detector. The sets of traffic flow features are associated with anomaly scores determined by the anomaly detector. The device ranks the sets of traffic flow features based in part on their anomaly scores. The device applies a genetic programming approach to the ranked sets of traffic flow features to generate new sets of traffic flow features. The genetic programming approach uses a fitness function that is based in part on the rankings of the sets of traffic flow features. The device specializes the anomaly detector to emphasize a particular type of anomaly using the new sets of traffic flow features.
