Non-technical loss detection represents a very high cost to power supply companies. Finding classifiers that can deal with this problem is not easy as they have to face a high imbalance scenario with noisy data. In this paper we propose to use Optimal F-measure Classifier (OFC) and Linear F-measure Classifier (LFC), two novel algorithms that are designed to work in problems with unbalanced classes. We compare both algorithm performances with other previously used methods to solve automatic fraud detection problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
