  • VB2017 preview: Stuck between a ROC and a hard place

    Authors of security software in general, and anti-virus software in particular, have always needed to find the right balance between a high detection rate and a low false positive rate – something that has become even more important with advances in machine-learning detection technologies. Making the model too strict will result in false positives, while making…
