The datasets used for model comparison were provided by the shared task on Detecting Malicious Domain names (DMD 2018). Our models ranked first for two out of the four test datasets provided in the competition.}, publisher = {Springer, Singapore}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/algorithmically-generated-domain-detection-and-malware-family-classification/}, pages = {640-655}, }
