Topic : DEEP LEARNING APPLICATIONS TO ONLINE PAYMENT FRAUD DETECTION
Abstract: Online data data often poses challenges such as high dimensionality, sparsity, high cardinality and temporal distribution shifts. Fraud detection models using such data require significant tuning to balance model performance and stability so as to address performance play. The talk will cover some applications and use-cases of different deep neural network architectures applied to the problem of online payments fraud detection for addressing such challenges as well as comparative performance benchmarking with other algorithms.
