A typical organization loses an estimated 5 of its yearly revenue to fraud. This course shows how learning fraud patterns from historical data can be used to fight fraud. The course discusses the use of supervised learning (using a labeled data set), unsupervised learning (using an unlabeled data set), and social network learning (using a networked data set). The techniques can be applied across a wide variety of fraud applications, such as insurance fraud, credit card fraud, anti-money laundering, healthcare fraud, telecommunications fraud, click fraud, tax evasion, and counterfeiting. The course provides a mix of both theoretical and technical insights, as well as practical implementation details. During the course, the instructor reports extensively on his recent research insights about the topic. Various real-life case studies and examples are presented for further clarification.

Naucz się

• Preprocess data for fraud detection (sampling, missing values, outliers, categorization, and so on).
• Build fraud detection models using supervised analytics (logistic regression, decision trees, neural networks, ensemble models, and so on).
• Build fraud detection models using unsupervised analytics (hierarchical clustering, non-hierarchical clustering, k-means, self organizing maps, and so on).
• Build fraud detection models using social network analytics (homophily, featurization, egonets, PageRank, bigraphs, and so on).
