Abstract
There is disclosed a computer-implemented method of assigning reputations to objects, including: for respective samples in a dataset, extracting n features from a sample into a feature vector, where n is an integer greater than 1; assigning the sample a globally unique or pseudo-unique identifier (GUID); according to a clustering algorithm, mapping the feature vector into an n-dimensional space and computing distances between the sample and other samples in the n-dimensional space; assigning groups of objects to clusters according to their distances in the n-dimensional space; correlating the clusters to cluster tags based on the GUIDs of the samples, wherein the cluster tags are stored in a persistent cluster tag storage; and assigning the sample a reputation based on reputations of other samples in a cluster that the sample clustered with.
