Improving Electric Fraud Detection Using Class Imbalance Strategies

Abstract: Abstract:Improving nontechnical loss detection is a huge challenge for electric companies. The great number of clients and the diversity of the different types of fraud makes this a very complex task. In this paper we present a fraud detection strategy based on class imbalance research. An automatic detection tool combining classification strategies is proposed. Individual classifiers such as One Class SVM, Cost Sensitive SVM (CS-SVM), Optimum Path Forest (OPF) and C4.5 Tree, and combination functions are desi… Show more

“…Due to the severity of the risk that an impaired astronaut can pose to a mission's success, identifying individuals in the positive class is of high interest. This issue is also common in applications outside of space behavior, such as in fraud detection or illness detection (Di Martino et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2016;Johnson and Khoshgoftaar, 2019). A popular solution is to assign a different weight to each class, giving higher importance to the minority class to reduce bias toward the majority class.…”
