Are Machine Learning Models for Malware Detection Ready for Prime Time?
Lorenzo Cavallaro, Johannes Kinder, Feargus Pendlebury, Fabio Pierazzi · IEEE Security & Privacy · 2023
We investigate why the performance of machine learning models for malware detection observed in a lab setting often cannot be reproduced in practice. We discuss how to set up experiments mimicking a practical deployment and how to measure the robustness of a model over time.
