AI-driven fraud detection presentation
Abstract
Credit card fraud remains a major challenge for financial institutions because fraudulent activity is rare, adaptive, and costly when missed. This presentation covers a machine-learning workflow for identifying fraudulent transactions in an anonymized dataset with more than 200,000 records. It applies SMOTE for class-imbalance handling and compares logistic regression, random forest, XGBoost, and neural models using recall, precision, F1 score, and ROC-AUC.
