Credit scoring is generally recognized as one of the most significant operational research techniques used in banking and finance, aiming to identify whether a credit consumer belongs to either a legitimate or a suspicious customer group. With the vigorous development of the Internet and the widespread adoption of electronic records, banks and financial institutions have accumulated large repositories of labeled and mostly unlabeled data. Semi-supervised learning constitutes an appropriate machine- learning methodology for extracting useful knowledge from both labeled and unlabeled data. In this work, we evaluate the performance of two ensemble semi-supervised learning algorithms for the credit scoring problem. Our numerical experiments indicate that the proposed algorithms outperform their component semi-supervised learning algorithms, illustrating that reliable and robust prediction models could be developed by the adaptation of ensemble techniques in the semi-supervised learning framework.

There are several malware detection techniques available that are based on a signature-based approach. This approach can detect known malware very effectively but sometimes may fail to detect unknown or zero-day attacks. In this article, the authors have proposed a malware detection model that uses operation codes of malicious and benign executables as the feature. The proposed model uses opcode extract and count (OPEC) algorithm to prepare the opcode feature vector for the experiment. Most relevant features are selected using extra tree classifier feature selection technique and then passed through several supervised learning algorithms like support vector machine, naive bayes, decision tree, random forest, logistic regression, and k-nearest neighbour to build classification models for malware detection. The proposed model has achieved a detection accuracy of 98.7%, which makes this model better than many of the similar works discussed in the literature.

Semi-supervised learning algorithms have become a topic of significant research as an alternative to traditional classification methods which exhibit remarkable performance over labeled data but lack the ability to be applied on large amounts of unlabeled data. In this work, we propose a new semi-supervised learning algorithm that dynamically selects the most promising learner for a classification problem from a pool of classifiers based on a self-training philosophy. Our experimental results illustrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms its component semi-supervised learning algorithms in terms of accuracy, leading to more efficient, stable and robust predictive models.
