Malware detection approach based on improved SOINN by Bin ZHANG, Lixun LI, Shuqin DONG

“…To deal with the problems of dynamic update of detection model and high computation costs in malware detection model based on batch learning,a novel malware detection approach is proposed by combing SOINN and supervised classifiers,to reduce computation costs and enable the detection model to update dynamically with the assistance of SOINN′s incremental learning characteristic.Firstly,the improved SOINN was given.According to the whole alignment algorithm,search the adjusted weights of neurons under all input sequences in the learning cycle and then calculate the average value of all adjusted weights as the final result,to avoid SOINN′s stability under different input sequences and representativeness of original data,therefore improve malware detection accuracy.Then a data preprocessing algorithm was proposed based on nonnegative matrix factor and Z-score normalization to transfer the malware behavior feature vector from high dimension and high order to low dimension and low order,to speed up and avoid overfitting and further improve detection accuracy.The results of experiments show that proposed approach supports dynamic updating of detection model and has a significantly higher accuracy of detecting unknown new samples and lower computation costs than tradition methods.…”

Emergence of Prediction by Reinforcement Learning Using a Recurrent Neural Network by Kenta Goto, Katsunari Shibata

“…In a task where an agent gets a reward when it catches a moving object that can possibly become invisible, it was observed that the agent learned to detect the necessary factors of the object velocity before it disappeared, to relay the information among some hidden neurons, and finally to catch the object at an appropriate position and timing, considering the effects of bounces off a wall after the object became invisible.…”
