Machine Learning Framework Architecture

Zentrale ML Framework-Architektur für das Custom PHP Framework.

Übersicht

Das ML Framework bietet eine wiederverwendbare, domänenunabhängige Machine Learning Infrastruktur, die von verschiedenen Framework-Komponenten (WAF, N+1 Detection, Performance Monitoring, etc.) genutzt werden kann.

Architektur-Prinzipien

1. Domain-Agnostische Value Objects

Alle Core ML Value Objects befinden sich in src/Framework/MachineLearning/ValueObjects/ und sind nicht an spezifische Domänen gebunden.

Core Value Objects:

• Feature - Generische Feature-Darstellung mit Type, Value, Metadata
• FeatureType - Enum für Feature-Kategorien (Frequency, Structural Pattern, etc.)
• AnomalyDetection - Generische Anomalie-Darstellung mit Type, Confidence, Evidence
• AnomalyType - Enum für Anomalie-Kategorien (Statistical, Outlier, Pattern Deviation, etc.)
• Baseline - Statistische Baseline mit Mean, Std Dev, Percentiles, Sample Count

2. Domain-Specific Extensions

Domänen-spezifische Erweiterungen befinden sich in jeweiligen Domain-Verzeichnissen:

Beispiel WAF (src/Framework/Waf/MachineLearning/ValueObjects/):

• BehaviorBaseline - WAF-spezifische Baseline-Erweiterung
• BehaviorFeature - WAF-spezifische Feature-Erweiterung
• ModelAdjustment - WAF-spezifische Model-Anpassungen

Zukünftig N+1 Detection (src/Framework/Database/N+1Detection/MachineLearning/ValueObjects/):

• Domänen-spezifische Value Objects für Query-Analyse

3. Interface-Driven Design

Alle ML-Komponenten nutzen Interfaces statt konkreter Implementierungen:

Core Interfaces (src/Framework/MachineLearning/Core/):

• AnomalyDetectorInterface - Anomalie-Erkennung
• FeatureExtractorInterface - Feature-Extraktion
• MachineLearningEngineInterface - ML-Engine-Orchestration

4. Composition over Inheritance

Keine Vererbungs-Hierarchien - nur Komposition und Interface-Implementation.

if ($extractor->canExtract($httpRequest)) {
    $features = $extractor->extractFeatures($httpRequest);
    // Returns: Array<Feature>
}

2. Anomaly-Detection

// Statistical Detector Example
$detector = new StatisticalAnomalyDetector(
    enabled: true,
    confidenceThreshold: 0.75,
    zScoreThreshold: 2.0,

        $this->logger->warning('Anomaly detected', [
            'type' => $anomaly->type->value,
            'confidence' => $anomaly->confidence->getValue(),
            'description' => $anomaly->description
        ]);
    }
}

Extension Points

1. Neue Feature-Typen hinzufügen

// Add new enum value to FeatureType
enum FeatureType: string
{
    case FREQUENCY = 'frequency';
    case STRUCTURAL_PATTERN = 'structural_pattern';
    // ... existing types
    case NEW_FEATURE_TYPE = 'new_feature_type'; // NEW
}

2. Neue Anomalie-Typen hinzufügen

// Add new enum value to AnomalyType
enum AnomalyType: string
{
    case STATISTICAL_ANOMALY = 'statistical_anomaly';
    case OUTLIER_DETECTION = 'outlier_detection';
    // ... existing types
    case NEW_ANOMALY_TYPE = 'new_anomaly_type'; // NEW
}

3. Neue Detector-Implementierung

final readonly class CustomAnomalyDetector implements AnomalyDetectorInterface
{
    public function getName(): string
    {
        return 'Custom Anomaly Detector';
    }

    public function getSupportedFeatureTypes(): array
    {
        return [FeatureType::FREQUENCY, FeatureType::STRUCTURAL_PATTERN];
    }

    public function detectAnomalies(array $features, ?Baseline $baseline = null): array
    {
        $anomalies = [];

        foreach ($features as $feature) {
            // Custom detection logic
            if ($this->isAnomalous($feature)) {
                $anomalies[] = AnomalyDetection::create(
                    type: AnomalyType::STATISTICAL_ANOMALY,
                    featureType: $feature->type,
                    anomalyScore: $this->calculateScore($feature),
                    description: 'Custom anomaly detected',
                    features: [$feature]
                );
            }
        }

        return $anomalies;
    }

    // ... other interface methods
}

4. Neue Domain Integration

Beispiel: N+1 Detection ML Integration

// 1. Create domain-specific extractor
namespace App\Framework\Database\N+1Detection\MachineLearning\Extractors;

final readonly class QueryFeatureExtractor implements FeatureExtractorInterface
{
    public function getFeatureType(): FeatureType
    {
        return FeatureType::STRUCTURAL_PATTERN;
    }

    public function extractFeatures(mixed $input): array
    {
        // Extract features from QueryExecutionContext
        $queryContext = $input; // instanceof QueryExecutionContext

        return [
            new Feature(
                type: FeatureType::FREQUENCY,
                name: 'query_count_in_request',
                value: $queryContext->queryCount,
                unit: 'queries'
            ),
            new Feature(
                type: FeatureType::STRUCTURAL_PATTERN,
                name: 'query_pattern',
                value: $this->calculatePatternScore($queryContext),
                unit: 'score',
                metadata: ['query_type' => $queryContext->queryType]
            )
        ];
    }
}

// 2. Create domain-specific engine
namespace App\Framework\Database\N+1Detection\MachineLearning;

final readonly class N+1DetectionEngine implements MachineLearningEngineInterface
{
    public function __construct(
        private array $extractors,      // QueryFeatureExtractor
        private array $detectors,       // StatisticalAnomalyDetector, ClusteringAnomalyDetector
        private Clock $clock
    ) {}

    public function analyzeRequest(mixed $input): AnalysisResult
    {
        // Orchestrate feature extraction and anomaly detection
        // for N+1 query detection
    }
}

Phase 2: WAF Integration ✅

1. Update WAF Detectors to use central Value Objects
2. Update WAF Extractors to use central Interfaces
3. Update WAF ML Engine to use central Interfaces
4. Update WAF Tests (27/27 passing ✅)

Phase 3: Cleanup ✅

1. Delete old WAF-specific Value Objects
2. Keep WAF-specific extensions (BehaviorBaseline, BehaviorFeature, ModelAdjustment)
3. Document architecture (this file)

Phase 4: N+1 Detection Integration (Planned)

1. Create N+1-specific Extractors implementing FeatureExtractorInterface

Best Practices

1. Feature Design

• Descriptive Names: path_depth statt pd, request_rate statt rr
• Consistent Units: Immer Einheit angeben (count, ms, bytes, percent)
• Metadata Usage: Zusätzlichen Context in metadata speichern
• Z-Score Calculation: Nur wenn Baseline vorhanden

2. Detector Implementation

• Feature Type Support: Explicit list of supported FeatureTypes
• Confidence Calculation: Always calculate confidence based on evidence
• Early Returns: Exit early if detector disabled or features incompatible
• Evidence Collection: Store detailed evidence for debugging
• History Management: Limit history size to prevent memory issues

3. Engine Orchestration

• Timeout Management: Set reasonable analysis timeouts
• Detector Coordination: Run detectors in parallel when possible
• Result Aggregation: Deduplicate and sort anomalies by confidence
• Error Handling: Gracefully handle detector failures

4. Performance Optimization

• Caching: Cache baselines and detection results
• Batch Processing: Process multiple features in batches
• Lazy Loading: Load history only when needed
• Memory Limits: Limit history sizes and sample counts

Future Enhancements

1. Advanced Detectors

• Neural Network Detector - Deep learning-based anomaly detection
• Time Series Detector - LSTM-based time series anomaly detection
• Ensemble Detector - Combine multiple detectors with voting

2. Feature Engineering

• Automatic Feature Selection - ML-based feature importance
• Feature Normalization - Standardization and scaling
• Feature Generation - Polynomial features, interactions

3. Model Persistence

• Model Serialization - Save/load trained models
• Model Versioning - Version control for models
• Model Management - A/B testing, rollback, monitoring

4. Online Learning

• Incremental Learning - Update models in real-time
• Adaptive Baselines - Automatically adjust baselines
• Concept Drift Detection - Detect distribution shifts
