MalNet

Introduced by Scott Freitas et al. in A Large-Scale Database for Graph Representation Learning16 Nov 2020 archive 2025-07-28

MalNet is a large public graph database, representing a large-scale ontology of software function call graphs. MalNet contains over 1.2 million graphs, averaging over 17k nodes and 39k edges per graph, across a hierarchy of 47 types and 696 families.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

5 shown of 5 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 17. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
