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 set2 filesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
