Unveiling Our Forthcoming AI Loft: A Glimpse into Next-Generation Network Traffic Classification

At Neuroarcane, we are forging ahead with innovative AI technologies, and today we’re excited to share a preview of our forthcoming AI Loft—a cutting-edge platform designed to tackle advanced decision-making challenges. While our AI Loft is still in development, we are preparing to showcase its capabilities at the World Summit AI in Amsterdam in October 2025. In this post, we provide an in-depth update on our progress, the innovative models we’re building, and our vision for transforming network traffic classification.

Our Journey and Recent Advances

Over the past several months, our interdisciplinary team has been working tirelessly to develop AI solutions that address real-world challenges. Our current focus has been on classifying network traffic data collected during significant events, such as recent mega events and national elections in Germany. We compiled a massive, structured dataset—essentially a giant spreadsheet—that captures key metrics such as:

• Traffic Volume: Total data transmitted.

• Packet Delivery Metrics: Numbers of successfully delivered packets.

• Throttled Packets: Packets affected by throttling.

• Latency and Error Rates: Additional performance and reliability indicators.

This comprehensive dataset serves as the foundation for our advanced decision-making models.

Dual-Model Approach: Decision Tree Ensemble vs. Neural Network

Decision Tree Ensemble (XGBoost)

Our decision tree model, implemented using XGBoost, offers several advantages:

• Speed: Training is exceptionally fast, allowing for rapid iteration and experimentation.

• Efficient Iteration: This speed enables us to quickly explore various model configurations.

• Scalability: Although ensembles like XGBoost can be more computationally intensive than a single tree, their predictive performance often justifies the increased resource cost.

Neural Network Model

Our neural network model has been designed with flexibility and scalability in mind:

• Modularity: Although it takes slightly longer to train, neural networks allow us to easily string together and refine multiple architectures.

• Flexibility: This model’s design makes it simpler to experiment with different configurations and to combine multiple networks for enhanced performance.

• Competitive Performance: Early results indicate that both our decision tree ensemble and neural network models perform competitively in terms of accuracy and speed. At this stage, we are continuing to refine both approaches without a definitive preference for one over the other.

Speed vs. Accuracy: Comparative Insights

Our analysis reveals:

• Decision Tree Ensemble (XGBoost):Fast training times and efficient iterations make it highly effective for rapid experimentation, though its ensemble nature carries a higher computational cost compared to a single tree.

• Neural Network:Although training takes longer, the modularity of neural networks makes it easier to scale and integrate multiple models. This flexibility is a significant advantage as we refine our approach.

Both models currently exhibit competitive performance on our network traffic classification task, and we are diligently exploring ways to further enhance each approach.

Enhancing User Experience

User experience is a top priority at Neuroarcane. Our talented team member has been designing a sophisticated UI/UX that will allow you to:

• Input Your Own Data: Seamlessly enter your data into our platform.

• Select Your Preferred Model: Choose between our decision tree ensemble and neural network approaches.

• Train Your Model: Easily initiate training and view progress.

• Run Comprehensive Diagnostics: Access advanced tools for bias, variance, and error analysis.

We are proud to announce that this intuitive interface will be a key component of our demo at the World Summit AI in Amsterdam in October 2025.

Looking Ahead

Neuroarcane’s journey is just beginning. As we continue to refine our models and expand the capabilities of our AI Loft, we remain committed to delivering robust, cutting-edge AI solutions. We invite you to follow our progress as we work toward unveiling our platform on the global stage.

Thank you for joining us on this exciting adventure. Stay tuned for more updates, insights, and deep dives into the future of artificial intelligence.
