Online Transaction Fraud Detection Using Efficient Dimensionality Reduction and Machine Learning Techniques
Rathan Kumar Chenoori, Radhika Kavuri · Revue d intelligence artificielle · 2022
In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the number of online transactions. Substantial growth has been reported in e-commerce and e-governance in the past few years. Due to this the number of people using online payment methods has also increased. This has led to an exponential rise in the number of transactions that happen every day. This increase in online transactions has further led to an increase in the number of frauds in the transactions. There is an ever-growing need to detect these fraudulent transactions as early as possible so that appropriate actions could be taken and losses due to these frauds could be minimized. This work proposes machine learning models which could use the previously known data and try to predict frauds based on information learned through the old data. We propose a statistical based dimensionality reduction technique and various machine learning models were tried for classification purpose. We experimented our proposed method on IEEE-CIS Fraud Detection dataset and the best results were obtained on the XGBoost model which is demonstrated in this paper.
