With AI2, Machine Learning and Analysts Come Together to Impress, Part 2: The Algorithms

This is the second installment in a three-part series covering AI2 and machine learning. Be sure to read Part 1 for an introduction to AI2. AI2 is an "analyst-in-the-loop" system, meaning that it exploits the expertise of a security analyst to improve itself. A "human-in-the-loop" system is used to generate more supervised examples for the machine learning stage to use in an iterative training algorithm. This is exactly what AI2 does, allowing feedback to make the machine gradually smarter in the security domain.
