Abstract(in English) Today, computers are used for various purposes to support people's daily lives. Therefore, the existence of malware that targets those computers is a huge threat. Anti-virus software vendors are taking measures to detect and remove malware, but attackers are also searching for avoiding methods and attacking with malware. In particular, if an attacker creates malware variant with concept drift which includes large function expansion or changes in implementation, a detection accuracy of them will decrease largely. Thus, in malware detection, there is a need for a methods that can detect changed malware variants that cannot be detected due to concept drift. In this study, we discuss about methods for improving a detection accuracy of a certain malware variants and its results. We tried to extract a time series differences in collection date for a malware family that concept drift occurred. The extracted difference represents a time series change of malware features, and by adding this to another malware family, we tried to generate a pseudo concept drift. By adding pseudo concept drift data to training data, we aimed to improve a detection accuracy of malware variants.
