With the widespread adoption of smartphones, Android malware has become a significant challenge in the field of mobile device security. Current Android malware detection methods often rely on feature engineering to construct dynamic or static features, which are then used for learning. However, static feature-based methods struggle to counter code obfuscation, packing, and signing techniques, while dynamic feature-based methods involve time-consuming feature extraction. Image-based methods for Android malware detection offer better resilience against malware variants and polymorphic malware. This paper proposes an end-to-end Android malware detection technique based on RGB images and multi-feature fusion. The approach involves extracting Dalvik Executable (DEX) files, AndroidManifest.xml files, and API calls from APK files, converting them into grayscale images, and enhancing their texture features using Canny edge detection, histogram equalization, and adaptive thresholding techniques. These grayscale images are then combined into an RGB image containing multi-feature fusion information, which is analyzed using mainstream image classification models for Android malware detection. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method effectively captures Android malware characteristics, achieving an accuracy of up to 97.25%, outperforming existing detection methods that rely solely on DEX files as classification features. Additionally, ablation experiments confirm the effectiveness of using the three key files for feature representation in the proposed approach.

With the rapid development of Internet technology, people have more and more access to a variety of web page resources. At the same time, the current rapid development of deep learning technology is often inseparable from the huge amount of Web data resources. On the other hand, NLP is also an important part of data processing technology, such as web page data extraction. At present, the extraction technology of web page text mainly uses a single heuristic function or strategy, and most of them need to determine the threshold manually. With the rapid growth of the number and types of web resources, there are still problems to be solved when using a single strategy to extract the text information of different pages. This paper proposes a web page text extraction algorithm based on multi-feature fusion. According to the text information characteristics of web resources, DOM nodes are used as the extraction unit to design multiple statistical features, and high-order features are designed according to heuristic strategies. This method establishes a small neural network, takes multiple features of DOM nodes as input, predicts whether the nodes contain text information, makes full use of different statistical information and extraction strategies, and adapts to more types of pages. Experimental results show that this method has a good ability of web page text extraction and avoids the problem of manually determining the threshold.
