The results of evaluating explanations of the black-box model for prediction are presented. The XAI evaluation is realized through the different principles and characteristics between black-box model explanations and XAI labels. In the field of high-dimensional prediction, the black-box model represented by neural network and ensemble models can predict complex data sets more accurately than traditional linear regression and white-box models such as the decision tree model. However, an unexplainable characteristic not only hinders developers from debugging but also causes users mistrust. In the XAI field dedicated to ``opening'' the black box model, effective evaluation methods are still being developed. Within the established XAI evaluation framework (MDMC) in this paper, explanation methods for the prediction can be effectively tested, and the identified explanation method with relatively higher quality can improve the accuracy, transparency, and reliability of prediction.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have been the prominent attacks over the last decade. A Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) should seamlessly configure to fight against these attackers' new approaches and patterns of DDoS attack. In this paper, we propose a NIDS which can detect existing as well as new types of DDoS attacks. The key feature of our NIDS is that it combines different classifiers using ensemble models, with the idea that each classifier can target specific aspects/types of intrusions, and in doing so provides a more robust defense mechanism against new intrusions. Further, we perform a detailed analysis of DDoS attacks, and based on this domain-knowledge verify the reduced feature set [27, 28] to significantly improve accuracy. We experiment with and analyze NSL-KDD dataset with reduced feature set and our proposed NIDS can detect 99.1% of DDoS attacks successfully. We compare our results with other existing approaches. Our NIDS approach has the learning capability to keep up with new and emerging DDoS attack patterns.
