New OCSVM method improves malware classification model retraining efficiency

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new research paper explores methods for detecting and adapting to concept drift in malware classification models. The study analyzes two primary techniques: one based on One-Class Support Vector Machines (OCSVM) and another using Minibatch K-Means (MK-Means), also considering Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD). Experiments with Multilayer Perceptron, Random Forest, Support Vector Machines, and XGBoost models show that drift-aware retraining, particularly with the OCSVM approach, achieves comparable accuracy to periodic retraining but with significantly greater efficiency.

    Concept Drift Detection and Adaptive Retraining of Malware Classification Models

    arXiv:2608.13465v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Concept drift refers to changes over time in the statistical properties of data, as compared to the data that was used to train a learning model. Machine learning models for malware detection or classification are particularly sus…
