Abstract
Minimizing the latency of on-device detection of malicious executable files, without sacrificing accuracy, by applying a machine learning model to an executable file in quantized steps. Allowing a threshold confidence level to be set to different values enables controlling the tradeoff between accuracy and latency in generating a confidence level indicative of whether the executable file includes malware.
