Deep Learning Anti-Fraud Model for Internet Loan: Where We Are Going

Abstract

Recently, Internet finance is increasingly popular. However, bad debt has become a serious threat to Internet financial companies. The fraud detection models commonly used in conventional financial companies is logistic regression. Although it is interpretable, the accuracy of the logistic regression still remains to be improved. This paper takes a large public loan dataset, e.g. Lending club, for example, to explore the potential of applying deep neural network for fraud detection. We first fill the missing values by a random forest. Then, an XGBoost algorithm is employed to select the most discriminate features. After that, we propose to use a synthetic minority oversampling technique to deal with the sample imbalance. With the preprocessed data, we design a deep neural network for Internet loan fraud detection. Extensive experiments have been conducted to demonstrate the outperformance of the deep neural network compared with the commonly-used models. Such a simple yet effective model may brighten the application of deep learning in anti-fraud for Internet loans, which would benefit the financial engineers in small and medium Internet financial companies.INDEX TERMS Internet finance, loan fraud detection, deep learning, financial model.

Gravitational search algorithm‐extreme learning machine for COVID‐19 active cases forecasting

“…Nevertheless, the exact virological and epidemiological characteristics of this third zoonotic coronavirus, including transmissibility and mortality, are not known. Deep learning has the ability to learn and model nonlinear complex relationships which has received interest and attention in various fields [13][14][15][16]. Nevertheless, with such a significant number of active cases worldwide, training deep learning models would be time-consuming and vulnerable to overfitting [17].…”

A Combined Approach for Predicting Employees’ Productivity based on Ensemble Machine Learning Methods

“…Ensemble learning (EL) is a machine learning mechanism that merges several base models in order to produce one optimal predictive model. EL has been used for increasing accuracy and consolidating the classification performance Feng, Huang, and Ren 2018 [7]. In addition, ensemble learning algorithms contributed to the prediction in many sectors.…”
