Evaluating Lightweight Transformers With Local Explainability for Android Malware Detection

In this paper they are trying to build a malware detection system for Android devices that's accurate enough to catch sophisticated threats, fast enough to run in real-time on smartphones, and transparent enough to explain its decisions.
