advanced Published 26 May 2026
Action Steps
  1. Initialize a self-supervised learning model to learn a stable latent representation of Android malware data
  2. Freeze the encoder and measure latent drift in the fixed representation over time
  3. Use reinforcement learning to adapt the model to concept drift by selecting optimal maintenance actions
  4. Test and evaluate the adapted model on a held-out dataset to measure its improved detection accuracy
  5. Deploy the adapted model in a production environment and continuously monitor its performance

Title: Concept Drift Adaptation Using Self-Supervised and Reinforcement Learning In Android Malware Detection

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.24294v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Android malware detectors often degrade after deployment because of concept drift, while full retraining at each maintenance step is costly. We propose a chronological adaptive maintenance framework that models deployment-time maintenance as a sequential decision problem. The framework learns a stable latent representation through self-supervised learning during initialization, freezes the encoder, measures latent drift in the fixed representatio
