# Suggestions on using model in production 1 test at a time

I have created an Artificial Neural Network with 4 categorical features and a binary outcome either 1 for suspicious or 0 for non-suspicious:

  ParentPath                                  ParentExe
0   C:\Program Files (x86)\Wireless AutoSwitch  wrlssw.exe
1   C:\Program Files (x86)\Wireless AutoSwitch  WrlsAutoSW.exs
2   C:\Program Files (x86)\Wireless AutoSwitch  WrlsAutoSW.exs
3   C:\Windows\System32                         svchost.exe
4   C:\Program Files (x86)\Wireless AutoSwitch  WrlsAutoSW.exs

ChildPath                                   ChildExe    Suspicious
C:\Windows\System32                         conhost.exe  0
C:\Program Files (x86)\Wireless AutoSwitch  wrlssw.exe   0
C:\Program Files (x86)\Wireless AutoSwitch  wrlssw.exe   0
C:\Program Files\Common Files               OfficeC2RClient.exe  0
C:\Program Files (x86)\Wireless AutoSwitch  wrlssw.exe  1
C:\Program Files (x86)\Wireless AutoSwitch  wrlssw.exe  0


I have used sklearn for label encoding and one hot encoding on the data:

#Import the dataset
X = DBF2.iloc[:, 0:4].values
#X = DBF2[['ParentProcess', 'ChildProcess']]
y = DBF2.iloc[:, 4].values#.ravel()

#Encoding categorical data
from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelEncoder, OneHotEncoder
#Label Encode Parent Path
labelencoder_X_1 = LabelEncoder()
X[:, 0] = labelencoder_X_1.fit_transform(X[:, 0])
#Label Encode Parent Exe
labelencoder_X_2 = LabelEncoder()
X[:, 1] = labelencoder_X_2.fit_transform(X[:, 1])
#Label Encode Child Path
labelencoder_X_3 = LabelEncoder()
X[:, 2] = labelencoder_X_3.fit_transform(X[:, 2])
#Label Encode Child Exe
labelencoder_X_4 = LabelEncoder()
X[:, 3] = labelencoder_X_4.fit_transform(X[:, 3])

#Create dummy variables
onehotencoder = OneHotEncoder(categorical_features = [0,1,2,3])
X = onehotencoder.fit_transform(X)


I have split the data into a training and test set and run it on my gpu box with a nvidia 1080. I have tuned the hyperparameters and am now ready to use the model that is trained in a production environment with one test sample being tested at a time. Lets say I just want to test one sample:

   ParentPath            ParentExe     ChildPath           ChildExe
0  C:\Windows\Malicious  badscipt.exe  C:\Windows\System   cmd.exe


The issue that I am running into is the training set has seen the ChildPath "C:\Windows\System" and the ChildExe "cmd.exe" which are normal, but the training set has not seen the ParentPath "C:\Windows\Malicous" or ParentExe "badscipt.exe" so these have not been label or one hot encoded. My big question is how do I handle one test feature where part of it has not been trained?

I have seen examples using feature hashing but im not sure how to apply that or if that would even solve this problem. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
