Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to learn malicious activity. An example method includes assigning weights of a distance function to respective statistical features; iteratively calculating, with a processor, the distance function to adjust the weights (1) to cause a reduction in a first distance calculated according to the distance function for a first pair of entities in a reference group associated with malicious activity and (2) to cause an increase in a second distance calculated according to the distance function for a first one of the entities included in the reference group and a second entity not included in the reference group; and determining whether a first statistical feature is indicative of malicious activity based on a respective adjusted weight of the first statistical feature determined after calculating the distance function for a number of iterations.
