Malware Detection using Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

Malware detection has become a challenging task due to the increase in the number of malware families. Universal malware detection algorithms that can detect all the malware families are needed to make the whole process feasible. However, the more universal an algorithm is, the higher number of feature dimensions it needs to work with, and that inevitably causes the emerging problem of Curse of Dimensionality (CoD). Besides, it is also difficult to make this solution work due to the real-time behavior of malware analysis. In this paper, we address this problem and aim to propose a feature selection based malware detection algorithm using an evolutionary algorithm that is referred to as Artificial Bee Colony (ABC). The proposed algorithm enables researchers to decrease the feature dimension and as a result, boost the process of malware detection. The experimental results reveal that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art

3D-model ShapeNet Core Classification using Meta-Semantic Learning

Understanding 3D point cloud models for learning purposes has become an imperative challenge for real-world identification such as autonomous driving systems. A wide variety of solutions using deep learning have been proposed for point cloud segmentation, object detection, and classification. These methods, however, often require a considerable number of model parameters and are computationally expensive. We study a semantic dimension of given 3D data points and propose an efficient method called Meta-Semantic Learning (Meta-SeL). Meta-SeL is an integrated framework that leverages two input 3D local points (input 3D models and part-segmentation labels), providing a time and cost-efficient, and precise projection model for a number of 3D recognition tasks. The results indicate that Meta-SeL yields competitive performance in comparison with other complex state-of-the-art work. Moreover, being random shuffle invariant, Meta-SeL is resilient to translation as well as jittering noise.Comment: The 6th International Conference on Applied Cognitive Computin
