I would link to the NBER paper, but it's gated, and at there's at least some discussion at the linked post.

I'm close to releasing some features (OSS, for what it's worth) that ultimately depend on human knowledge (for creating rules to identify behavior in interpreted languages and binary formats, and for auditing identified CLI executables to characterize how the behavior manifests). I built support for...
