User seeks transformer model approach for app detection from unlabeled network data

A user on Reddit's r/MachineLearning subreddit is seeking advice on developing a transformer model to detect applications based on unlabeled network traffic data. The user has a large volume of unlabeled data and a smaller set of labeled data for a limited number of apps. They are exploring self-supervised learning techniques like contrastive learning and masked modeling, as well as pre-training and fine-tuning approaches. A key concern is ensuring the model learns to identify apps rather than user or device-specific patterns. AI
