Abstract

An exemplary method for reducing false positives produced by heuristics may include: 1) training a heuristic using a set of training data, 2) deploying the heuristic, 3) identifying false positives produced by the heuristic during deployment, and then 4) tuning the heuristic by: a) duplicating at least a portion of the false positives, b) modifying the training data to include the duplicate false positives, and c) re-training the heuristic using the modified training data. Corresponding systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
