AI summary · x-ai/grok-4.7Summaries by Vani AI

CANMentor framework uses cloud LLM to supervise vehicle-side lightweight IDS models via knowledge distillation, yielding up to 25% F1 gains on non-IID data.

The Controller Area Network lacks built-in security, necessitating real-time intrusion detection. Vehicle-side IDS models are limited by resource constraints and suffer performance drops on non-IID data. CANMentor lets a cloud LLM teacher supervise lightweight models. Vehicles perform local inference and send privacy-aware proxies for teacher supervision. Teacher predictions improve detection accuracy near decision boundaries by 38.71-42.00 percentage points.

Key facts
  • Cloud LLM teacher supervises vehicle lightweight IDS
  • Privacy-aware generator produces proxies for cloud inference
  • Knowledge distillation yields 25.01% Macro F1 gain on ROAD dataset
  • Improves detection accuracy for boundary CAN messages by 38.71-42.00pp

The Controller Area Network (CAN) bus lacks built-in security mechanisms, making real-time intrusion detection necessary. However, resource and latency constraints limit vehicle-side intrusion detection systems (IDSs) to lightweight models, whose detection performance and generalization can degrade under non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) data.
