A novel framework is introduced to enhance Android malware detection and classification using an attention-enhanced Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Support Vector Machine (SVM).
The framework achieves an impressive accuracy of over 99% by analyzing only 47 features out of over 9,760 available in the dataset.
The MLP component, enhanced with an attention mechanism, focuses on discriminative features and reduces the feature set to 14 components using Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA).
The SVM component, utilizing an RBF kernel, accurately maps the reduced components to a high-dimensional space for precise classification of malware into their respective families.
