Machine Learning Based Fraud Detection: A Use Case Demo

Fraudulent actors are always looking for new ways to subvert legitimate transaction systems; traditional rules-based approaches are no longer sufficient (or efficient enough) to combat fraud. In this webinar, we’ll discuss best practices and examples on how machine learning can improve fraud detection capabilities. Data Scientists, Quants, and Analysts in the banking sector can benefit from expert best practices on tackling fraud detection. We’ll include a brief use case demo to concretely ground the discussion and discuss real-time considerations for detection. Kevin’s financial expertise and Will’s diverse implementation experience make them the perfect team to explore the host of factors that go into a machine learning fraud detection model.
