Austrian Computer Science Day 2025
Austrian Computer Science Day is an annual event that brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners from across Austria’s computing and technology sectors. It fosters collaboration, showcases innovative research, and highlights both emerging and established talent in the field.
Daniel Arp will deliver a research talk at ACSD, scheduled for June 6, 2025, in the Aula of the University of Innsbruck.
Title: Lessons Learned in Mobile Malware Detection with Machine Learning
Abstract. Mobile malware continues to pose a serious threat to the security and privacy of mobile device users. In response, the research community has developed a wide range of machine learning-based detection approaches over the past decade, aiming to overcome the limitations of traditional signature-based techniques. While these learning-based methods have demonstrated strong potential, the field still faces a number of unresolved challenges—such as concept drift and evolving adversarial behaviors—that must be addressed to ensure sustained effectiveness in real-world environments. In this talk, we reflect on a decade of research in machine learning-based mobile malware detection, discuss key lessons learned, and highlight ongoing challenges that present opportunities for future work.
