Benchmark \section{Benchmark} \label{sec:benchmark} -In this section, we present the experimental setup and results. +We evaluate the proposed pipeline on feature sequences derived from the HAI Security Dataset, using fixed-length windows (L=96) that preserve the mixed-type structure of ICS telemetry. The goal of this benchmark is not only to report “overall similarity”, but to justify why the proposed factorization is a better fit for protocol feature synthesis: continuous channels must match physical marginals \citep{coletta2023constrained}, discrete channels must remain semantically legal, and both must retain short-horizon dynamics that underpin state transitions and interlocks \citep{yang2001interlock}. + +This emphasis reflects evaluation practice in time-series generation, where strong results are typically supported by multiple complementary views (marginal fidelity, dependency/temporal structure, and downstream plausibility), rather than a single aggregate score \citep{stenger2024survey}. In the ICS setting, this multi-view requirement is sharper: a generator that matches continuous marginals while emitting out-of-vocabulary supervisory tokens is unusable for protocol reconstruction, and a generator that matches marginals but breaks lag structure can produce temporally implausible command/response sequences. + +Recent ICS time-series generators often emphasize aggregate similarity scores and utility-driven evaluations (e.g., anomaly-detection performance) to demonstrate realism, which is valuable but can under-specify mixed-type protocol constraints. Our benchmark complements these practices by making mixed-type legality and per-feature distributional alignment explicit: discrete outputs are evaluated as categorical distributions (JSD) and are constrained to remain within the legal vocabulary by construction, while continuous channels are evaluated with nonparametric distribution tests (KS) \citep{yoon2019timegan}. This combination provides a direct, protocol-relevant justification for the hybrid design, rather than relying on a single composite score that may mask discrete failures. + +For continuous channels, we measure distributional alignment using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov (KS) statistic computed per feature between the empirical distributions of real and synthetic samples, and then averaged across features. For discrete channels, we quantify marginal fidelity with Jensen–Shannon divergence (JSD) \citep{lin1991divergence,yoon2019timegan} between categorical distributions per feature, averaged across discrete variables. To assess temporal realism, we compare lag-1 autocorrelation at the feature level and report the mean absolute difference between real and synthetic lag-1 autocorrelation, averaged across features. In addition, to avoid degenerate comparisons driven by near-constant tags, features whose empirical standard deviation falls below a small threshold are excluded from continuous KS aggregation; such channels carry limited distributional information and can distort summary statistics. + +\subsection{Quantitative results} +\label{sec:benchmark-quant} +Across all runs, the mean continuous KS is 0.3311 (std 0.0079) and the mean discrete JSD is 0.0284 (std 0.0073), indicating that the generator preserves both continuous marginals and discrete semantic distributions at the feature level. Temporal consistency is similarly stable across runs, with a mean lag-1 autocorrelation difference of 0.2684 (std 0.0027), suggesting that the synthesized windows retain short-horizon dynamical structure \citep{ni2021sigwasserstein} instead of collapsing to marginal matching alone. The best-performing instance (by mean KS) attains 0.3224, and the small inter-seed variance shows that the reported fidelity is reproducible rather than driven by a single favorable initialization. +\begin{figure}[htbp] + \centering + \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{fig-overall-benchmark-v1.png} + % \caption{Description of the figure.} + \label{fig:benchmark} +\end{figure} + +\begin{table}[htbp] +\centering +\caption{Summary of benchmark metrics.

This matters in mixed-type ICS telemetry: continuous fidelity can be high while discrete semantics fail, and vice versa. By separating continuous (KS), discrete (JSD), and temporal (lag-1) views, the evaluation directly matches the design goals of the hybrid generator: distributional refinement for continuous residuals, vocabulary-valid reconstruction for discrete supervision, and trend-induced short-horizon coherence. + +In addition, the seed-averaged reporting mirrors evaluation conventions in recent diffusion-based time-series generation studies, where robustness across runs is increasingly treated as a first-class signal rather than an afterthought. In this sense, the small inter-seed variance is itself evidence that the factorized training and typed routing reduce instability and localized error concentration, which is frequently observed when heterogeneous channels compete for the same modeling capacity. % 5.
