Gaining deep knowledge of Android malware families through dimensionality reduction techniques Vega Vega, Rafael Alejandro Quintián, Héctor Calvo-Rolle, José Luis Herrero Cosío, Álvaro Corchado, Emilio Android malware Malware families Dimensionality reduction Artificial neural networks This research proposes the analysis and subsequent characterisation of Android malware families by means of low dimensional visualisations using dimensional reduction techniques. The well-known Malgenome data set, coming from the Android Malware Genome Project, has been thoroughly analysed through the following six dimensionality reduction techniques: Principal Component Analysis, Maximum Likelihood Hebbian Learning, Cooperative Maximum Likelihood Hebbian Learning, Curvilinear Component Analysis, Isomap and Self Organizing Map. Results obtained enable a clear visual analysis of the structure of this high-dimensionality data set, letting us gain deep knowledge about the nature of such Android malware families. Interesting conclusions are obtained from the real-life data set under analysis. 2023-01-17 2023-01-17 2019-04 info:eu-repo/semantics/article 1367-0751 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/7252 10.1093/jigpal/jzy030 1368-9894 eng Logic Journal of the IGPL. 2019, V. 27, n. 2, p. 160-176 https://doi.org/10.1093/jigpal/jzy030 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Oxford University Press
