Introduction
Information security is crucial for identifying patterns, trends, and anomalies in high-risk industries through forecasting. Transformer architectures revolutionized sequence modeling by leveraging tokenization and attention mechanisms.
Transformers excel at processing long sequences but struggle with overfitting on small datasets.
Weighted average approaches effectively capture non-stationary phenomena by weighting historical data based on confidence and time decay.
Methodology
Initial testing on circular functions led to applying the method to actual Cybersecurity datasets. The method transformed time series into sequences using quantile-based tokenization and applied ACWA for dynamic pattern weighting.
Study Design
The method assigns dynamic weights to historical patterns based on their frequency and time decay.
The ACWA method identifies patterns in historical data to extend tokenization.
Results & Findings
Traditional methods like ARIMA face limitations that reduce forecast reliability. Real-world dataset volatility demands sophisticated tools that balance accuracy and interpretability.
