This book was released on 2023-07-13 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this project, we aim to predict the risk of defaulting on a loan based on customer behavior using machine learning and deep learning techniques. We start by exploring the dataset and understanding its structure and contents. The dataset contains various features related to customer behavior, such as credit history, income, employment status, loan amount, and more. We analyze the distribution of these features to gain insights into their characteristics and potential impact on loan default. Next, we preprocess the data by handling missing values, encoding categorical variables, and normalizing numerical features. This ensures that the data is in a suitable format for training machine learning models. To predict the risk flag for loan default, we apply various machine learning models. We start with logistic regression, which models the relationship between the input features and the probability of loan default. We evaluate the model's performance using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Next, we employ decision tree-based algorithms, such as random forest and gradient boosting, which can capture non-linear relationships and interactions among features. These models provide better predictive power and help identify important features that contribute to loan default. Additionally, we explore support vector machines (SVM), which aim to find an optimal hyperplane that separates the loan default and non-default instances in a high-dimensional feature space. SVMs can handle complex data distributions and can be tuned to optimize the classification performance. After evaluating the performance of these machine learning models, we turn our attention to deep learning techniques. We design and train an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to predict the risk flag for loan default. The ANN consists of multiple layers of interconnected neurons that learn hierarchical representations of the input features. We configure the ANN with several hidden layers, each containing a varying number of neurons. We use the ReLU activation function to introduce non-linearity and ensure the model's ability to capture complex relationships. Dropout layers are incorporated to prevent overfitting and improve generalization. We compile the ANN using the Adam optimizer and the binary cross-entropy loss function. We train the model using the preprocessed dataset, splitting it into training and validation sets. The model is trained for a specific number of epochs, with a defined batch size. Throughout the training process, we monitor the model's performance using metrics such as loss and accuracy on both the training and validation sets. We make use of early stopping to prevent overfitting and save the best model based on the validation performance. Once the ANN is trained, we evaluate its performance on a separate test set. We calculate metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score to assess the model's predictive capabilities in identifying loan default risk. In conclusion, this project involves the exploration of a loan dataset, preprocessing of the data, and the application of various machine learning models and a deep learning ANN to predict the risk flag for loan default. The machine learning models, including logistic regression, decision trees, SVM, and ensemble methods, provide insights into feature importance and achieve reasonable predictive performance. The deep learning ANN, with its ability to capture complex relationships, offers the potential for improved accuracy in predicting loan default risk. By combining these approaches, we can assist financial institutions in making informed decisions and managing loan default risks more effectively.

Download or read book Predicting Loan Defaults Using Machine Learning Techniques written by Abhishek Bhagat and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today’s world, obtaining loans from financial institutions has become a very common phenomenon. Every day people apply for loans, for a variety of purposes. But not all the applicants are reliable, and not everyone can be approved. Every year, there are cases where people do not repay the bulk of the loan amount to the bank which results in huge financial loss. The risk associated with making a decision on a loan approval is immense. Hence, the idea of the project is to gather loan data from the lending club website and use machine learning techniques on this data to extract important information and predict if a customer would be able to repay the loan or not. In other words, the goal is to predict if the customer would be a defaulter or not.

Download or read book FinTech in Financial Inclusion Machine Learning Applications in Assessing Credit Risk written by Majid Bazarbash and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-05-17 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent advances in digital technology and big data have allowed FinTech (financial technology) lending to emerge as a potentially promising solution to reduce the cost of credit and increase financial inclusion. However, machine learning (ML) methods that lie at the heart of FinTech credit have remained largely a black box for the nontechnical audience. This paper contributes to the literature by discussing potential strengths and weaknesses of ML-based credit assessment through (1) presenting core ideas and the most common techniques in ML for the nontechnical audience; and (2) discussing the fundamental challenges in credit risk analysis. FinTech credit has the potential to enhance financial inclusion and outperform traditional credit scoring by (1) leveraging nontraditional data sources to improve the assessment of the borrower’s track record; (2) appraising collateral value; (3) forecasting income prospects; and (4) predicting changes in general conditions. However, because of the central role of data in ML-based analysis, data relevance should be ensured, especially in situations when a deep structural change occurs, when borrowers could counterfeit certain indicators, and when agency problems arising from information asymmetry could not be resolved. To avoid digital financial exclusion and redlining, variables that trigger discrimination should not be used to assess credit rating.

Download or read book Learning from Imbalanced Data Sets written by Alberto Fernández and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-22 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a general and comprehensible overview of imbalanced learning. It contains a formal description of a problem, and focuses on its main features, and the most relevant proposed solutions. Additionally, it considers the different scenarios in Data Science for which the imbalanced classification can create a real challenge. This book stresses the gap with standard classification tasks by reviewing the case studies and ad-hoc performance metrics that are applied in this area. It also covers the different approaches that have been traditionally applied to address the binary skewed class distribution. Specifically, it reviews cost-sensitive learning, data-level preprocessing methods and algorithm-level solutions, taking also into account those ensemble-learning solutions that embed any of the former alternatives. Furthermore, it focuses on the extension of the problem for multi-class problems, where the former classical methods are no longer to be applied in a straightforward way. This book also focuses on the data intrinsic characteristics that are the main causes which, added to the uneven class distribution, truly hinders the performance of classification algorithms in this scenario. Then, some notes on data reduction are provided in order to understand the advantages related to the use of this type of approaches. Finally this book introduces some novel areas of study that are gathering a deeper attention on the imbalanced data issue. Specifically, it considers the classification of data streams, non-classical classification problems, and the scalability related to Big Data. Examples of software libraries and modules to address imbalanced classification are provided. This book is highly suitable for technical professionals, senior undergraduate and graduate students in the areas of data science, computer science and engineering. It will also be useful for scientists and researchers to gain insight on the current developments in this area of study, as well as future research directions.
