With the increasing number and sophistication of malware attacks, malware detection systems based on machine learning (ML) grow in importance. At the same time, many popular ML models used in malware classification are supervised solutions. These …
Accurate labeling is important for detecting malware and building reference datasets which can be used for evaluating machine learning (ML) based malware classification and clustering approaches. Labels obtained from Anti-Virus (AV) vendors (such as …
Tensor decomposition is a powerful unsupervised Machine Learning method that enables the modeling of multi-dimensional data, including malware data. This thesis introduces a novel ensemble semi-supervised classification algorithm, named Random Forest …
Distinguishing malicious anomalous activities from unusual but benign activities is a fundamental challenge for cyber defenders. Prior studies have shown that statistical user behavior analysis yields accurate detections by learning behavior profiles …
The use of Machine Learning has become a significant part of malware detection efforts due to the influx of new malware, an ever changing threat landscape, and the ability of Machine Learning methods to discover meaningful distinctions between …
