This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Canada, credit card fraud occurrences rose sharply in 1998 causing $147 million in losses. To address this problem, financial institutions (FIs) are employing preventive measures and fraud detection systems one of which is called FDS. Although FDS has shown good results in reducing fraud, the majority of cases being flagged by this system are 'False Positives ' resulting in substantial investigation costs and cardholder inconvenience. The possibilities of enhancing the current operation by introducing a post processing system constitute the objective of this research. The data used for the analysis was provided by one of the major Canadian banks. Based on variations and combinations of features and training class distributions, different sets of experiments were performed to explore the influence of these parameters on the performance of the prototype developed. The results indicate that the employed approach has a very good potential to improve on the existing system. However, further research is required including the development of prototype systems which should be enhanced by more extensive and informative data.

This book was released on 2009-10-16 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tremendous advances in all disciplines including engineering, science, health care, business, avionics, management, and so on, can also be attributed to the development of artificial intelligence paradigms. In fact, researchers are always interested in desi- ing machines which can mimic the human behaviour in a limited way. Therefore, the study of neural information processing paradigms have generated great interest among researchers, in that machine learning, borrowing features from human intelligence and applying them as algorithms in a computer friendly way, involves not only Mathem- ics and Computer Science but also Biology, Psychology, Cognition and Philosophy (among many other disciplines). Generally speaking, computers are fundamentally well-suited for performing au- matic computations, based on fixed, programmed rules, i.e. in facing efficiently and reliably monotonous tasks, often extremely time-consuming from a human point of view. Nevertheless, unlike humans, computers have troubles in understanding specific situations, and adapting to new working environments. Artificial intelligence and, in particular, machine learning techniques aim at improving computers behaviour in tackling such complex tasks. On the other hand, humans have an interesting approach to problem-solving, based on abstract thought, high-level deliberative reasoning and pattern recognition. Artificial intelligence can help us understanding this process by recreating it, then potentially enabling us to enhance it beyond our current capabilities.

This book was released on 2022-09-22 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Computer Sciences - Artificial Intelligence, grade: 3, University of Applied Sciences Berlin, course: Project management and Data Science, language: English, abstract: The study investigates whether a machine learning algorithm can be used to detect fraud attempts and how a fraud management system based on machine learning might work. For fraud detection, most institutions rely on rule-based systems with manual evaluation. Until recently, these systems had been performing admirably. However, as fraudsters become more sophisticated, traditional systems' outcomes are becoming inconsistent. Fraud usually comprises many methods that are used repeatedly that's why looking for patterns is a common emphasis for fraud detection. Data analysts can, for example, avoid insurance fraud by developing algorithms that recognize trends and abnormalities. AI techniques used to detect fraud include Data mining classifies, groups, and segments data to search through millions of transactions to find patterns and detect fraud. The scientific paper discusses machine learning methods to detect fraud detection with a case study and analysis of Kaggle datasets.
Download or read book Credit Card Fraud Detection Using Machine Learning with Integration of Contextual Knowledge written by Yvan Lucas and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The detection of credit card fraud has several features that make it a difficult task. First, attributes describing a transaction ignore sequential information. Secondly, purchasing behavior and fraud strategies can change over time, gradually making a decision function learned by an irrelevant classifier. We performed an exploratory analysis to quantify the day-by-day shift dataset and identified calendar periods that have different properties within the dataset. The main strategy for integrating sequential information is to create a set of attributes that are descriptive statistics obtained by aggregating cardholder transaction sequences. We used this method as a reference method for detecting credit card fraud. We have proposed a strategy for creating attributes based on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) characterizing the transaction from different viewpoints in order to integrate a broad spectrum of sequential information within transactions. In fact, we model the authentic and fraudulent behaviors of merchants and cardholders according to two univariate characteristics: the date and the amount of transactions. Our multi-perspective approach based on HMM allows automated preprocessing of data to model temporal correlations. Experiments conducted on a large set of data from real-world credit card transactions (46 million transactions carried out by Belgian cardholders between March and May 2015) have shown that the proposed strategy for pre-processing data based on HMMs can detect more fraudulent transactions when combined with the Aggregate Data Pre-Processing strategy.
Download or read book Anomaly Detection in Credit Card Transactions Using Machine Learning written by Meenu and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anomaly Detection is a method of identifying the suspicious occurrence of events and data items that could create problems for the concerned authorities. Data anomalies are usually associated with issues such as security issues, server crashes, bank fraud, building structural flaws, clinical defects, and many more. Credit card fraud has now become a massive and significant problem in today's climate of digital money. These transactions carried out with such elegance as to be similar to the legitimate one. So, this research paper aims to develop an automatic, highly efficient classifier for fraud detection that can identify fraudulent transactions on credit cards. Researchers have suggested many fraud detection methods and models, the use of different algorithms to identify fraud patterns. In this study, we review the Isolation forest, which is a machine learning technique to train the system with the help of H2O.ai. The Isolation Forest was not so much used and explored in the area of anomaly detection. The overall performance of the version evaluated primarily based on widely-accepted metrics: precision and recall. The test data used in our research come from Kaggle.
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.
Download or read book Detecting Credit Card Fraud written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advancements in the modern age have brought many conveniences, one of those being credit cards. Providing an individual the ability to hold their entire purchasing power in the form of pocket-sized plastic cards have made credit cards the preferred method to complete financial transactions. However, these systems are not infallible and may provide criminals and other bad actors the opportunity to abuse them. Financial institutions and their customers lose billions of dollars every year to credit card fraud. To combat this issue, fraud detection systems are deployed to discover fraudulent activity after they have occurred. Such systems rely on advanced machine learning techniques and other supportive algorithms to detect and prevent fraud in the future. This work analyzes the various machine learning techniques for their ability to efficiently detect fraud and explores additional state-of-the-art techniques to assist with their performance. This work also proposes a generalized strategy to detect fraud regardless of a dataset's features or unique characteristics. The high performing models discovered through this generalized strategy lay the foundation to build additional models based on state-of-the-art methods. This work expands on the issues of fraud detection, such as missing data and unbalanced datasets, and highlights models that combat these issues. Furthermore, state-of-the-art techniques, such as adapting to concept drift, are employed to combat fraud adaptation.

This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detect fraud earlier to mitigate loss and prevent cascading damage Fraud Analytics Using Descriptive, Predictive, and Social Network Techniques is an authoritative guidebook for setting up a comprehensive fraud detection analytics solution. Early detection is a key factor in mitigating fraud damage, but it involves more specialized techniques than detecting fraud at the more advanced stages. This invaluable guide details both the theory and technical aspects of these techniques, and provides expert insight into streamlining implementation. Coverage includes data gathering, preprocessing, model building, and post-implementation, with comprehensive guidance on various learning techniques and the data types utilized by each. These techniques are effective for fraud detection across industry boundaries, including applications in insurance fraud, credit card fraud, anti-money laundering, healthcare fraud, telecommunications fraud, click fraud, tax evasion, and more, giving you a highly practical framework for fraud prevention. It is estimated that a typical organization loses about 5% of its revenue to fraud every year. More effective fraud detection is possible, and this book describes the various analytical techniques your organization must implement to put a stop to the revenue leak. Examine fraud patterns in historical data Utilize labeled, unlabeled, and networked data Detect fraud before the damage cascades Reduce losses, increase recovery, and tighten security The longer fraud is allowed to go on, the more harm it causes. It expands exponentially, sending ripples of damage throughout the organization, and becomes more and more complex to track, stop, and reverse. Fraud prevention relies on early and effective fraud detection, enabled by the techniques discussed here. Fraud Analytics Using Descriptive, Predictive, and Social Network Techniques helps you stop fraud in its tracks, and eliminate the opportunities for future occurrence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to thwart fraudsters, financial institutions must use current, advanced, customized predictive analytics to protect themselves. Data scientists and statisticians who understand machine learning and statistical methods are in increasingly high-demand and the demand for them is growing each year. Technically, machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence whereas statistics is subdivision of mathematics and many believe they only need in depth knowledge of one in order to be a predictive modeler. This fallacy leads to inefficient and/or inaccurate models, and sadly, many industries have not yet realized that the mathematics behind the model is just as important, if not more important, than the computer science needed to implement it. However, some businesses have and this thesis will hopefully help both industry and academia move further along in this direction.
