The paper presents a lightweight machine‑learning approach for multi‑class malware detection on resource‑constrained devices. Using a LightGBM classifier with SMOTE oversampling, SOM‑US undersampling, and Genetic‑Algorithm feature selection, the authors achieve 89.1 % accuracy on four malware families and 76 % on 16 individual malware types. A second Random‑Forest model further improves family classification to 91.2 % and individual classification to 78.7 %.

The paper discusses how any lossless compression algorithm can be transformed into a machine learning method using Normalized Compression Distance or the Minimum Description Length principle, and conversely how any auto‑regressive model can become a lossless compressor via entropy coding. It surveys and formalizes these strategies, introduces a design framework for compression‑based ML, and empirically validates that such methods can match conventional baselines and outperform them on malware detection, achieving accuracy gains up to 0.62 by varying design choices.
arXiv:2607. 24896v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Static malware detectors are commonly evaluated using clean-sample metrics such as accuracy, F1, ROC AUC, and PR AUC.
Backdoor attacks compromise training data so that a model retains clean accuracy but predicts an attacker-chosen target on triggered inputs. At very low poisoning rates, only a few samples convey the trigger--target association, making poison-sample selection critical.
