Abstract
Machine learning has become an invaluable tool in the fight against malware. Traditional supervised and unsupervised methods are not designed to capture the multidimensional details that are often present in cyber data. In contrast, tensor factorization
is a powerful unsupervised data analysis method for extracting the latent patterns that
are hidden in a multi-dimensional corpus. In this poster we explore the application
of tensors to classification, and we describe a hybrid model that leverages the strength
of multi-dimensional analysis combined with clustering. We introduce a novel semisupervised ensemble classifier named Random Forest of Tensors (RFoT) that is based
on generating a forest of tensors in parallel, which share the same first dimension, and
randomly selecting the remainder of the dimensions and entries of each tensor from the
features set
