Enhancing Autonomous Online Intrusion Detection for IoT with Balanced Learning, Reliable Pseudo-Labels, and Lightweight Architectures

arXiv:2605.26166v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has created an urgent demand for adaptive, resource-efficient Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) capable of handling dynamic and evolving cyber threats. This paper investigates AOC-IDS, a state-of-the-art autonomous online IDS published at IEEE INFOCOM 2024, which employs an Autoencoder (AE) with Cluster Repelling Contrastive (CRC) loss and an autonomous Gaussian-based decision module. We first successfully replicate AOC-IDS on the UNSW-NB15 benchmark, achieving 89.39% accuracy in close
