Abstract

This application relates to apparatus and methods for automatically detecting attacks to advertisement systems. In some examples, a computing device trains a machine learning process based on a training dataset. The training dataset may be an identified portion of a website session dataset that includes a lower percentage of malicious data caused by attacks than other portions, or may include no malicious data. Once trained, the computing device generates features from a website session dataset for a customer, and applies the trained machine learning process to the generated features to detect malicious data within the website session dataset for the customer. Further, the computing device may filter the website session data to remove the detected malicious data, and may store the filtered website session data within a data repository. The computing device may provide the filtered website session data to a recommendation system to generate item recommendations for the customer.
