Design of key technologies for intranet dynamic gateway based on DPDK by Fucai CHEN, Weizhen HE, Guozhen CHENG, Shumin HUO, Dacheng ZHOU

“…Aiming at the problems of high packet processing delay and high overhead caused by IP hopping,active defense gateway system with multi-layer network deployment structure was designed and implemented based on the data plane development kit (DPDK).Firstly,based on the DPDK fast forwarding framework,forwarding and processing performance of the system were optimized.Secondly,for the dynamic random mapping gateway with three different types of IP addresses,an efficient IP address allocation algorithm and an unpredictable IP address conversion algorithm were designed.The experimental results show that the designed system can effectively reduce the rate of information acquisition of sniffing attack,while greatly improving the processing delay caused by dynamic hopping.…”

Chinese Sequence Labeling Based on Stack Pre-training Model by LIU Yu-peng, LI Guo-dong

“…In this paper, according to the relevance of tasks, we use stacking pretraining model to extract features, segment words, and name entity recognition/chunk tagging.Through in-depth research on the internal structure of BERT, while ensuring the accuracy of the original model, the Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers （BERT） is optimized, which reduces the complexity and the time cost of the model in the training and prediction process.In the upper layer structure, compared with the traditional long-short-term memory network (LSTM), this paper uses a two-layer bidirectional LSTM structure, the bottom layer uses a bidirectional long-short-term memory network (Bi-LSTM) for word segmentation, and the top layer is used for sequence labeling tasks.On the New Semi-Conditional Random Field (NSCRF), the traditional semi-Markov Conditional Random Field (Semi-CRF) and Conditional Random Field (CRF) are combined while considering the segmentation.The labeling of words improves accuracy in training and decoding. …”
