In today's world, we are on an express train to a cashless society which has led to a tremendous escalation in the use of credit card transactions. But the flipside of this is that fraudulent activities are on the increase; therefore, implementation of a methodical fraud detection system is indispensable to cardholders as well as the card-issuing banks. In this paper, we are going to use different machine learning algorithms like random forest, logistic regression, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Neural Networks to train a machine learning model based on the given dataset and create a comparative study on the accuracy and different measures of the models being achieved using each of these algorithms. Using the comparative analysis on the F_1 score, we will be able to predict which algorithm is best suited to serve our purpose for the same. Our study concluded that Artificial Neural Network (ANN) performed best with an F_1 score of 0.91.

The increased credit card defaulters have forced the companies to think carefully before the approval of credit applications. Credit card companies usually use their judgment to determine whether a credit card should be issued to the customer satisfying certain criteria. Some machine learning algorithms have also been used to support the decision. The main objective of this paper is to build a deep learning model based on the UCI (University of California, Irvine) data sets, which can support the credit card approval decision. Secondly, the performance of the built model is compared with the other two traditional machine learning algorithms: logistic regression (LR) and support vector machine (SVM). Our results show that the overall performance of our deep learning model is slightly better than that of the other two models.

Abstract. Flood forecasting based on water level modeling is an essential non-structural measure against compound flooding over the globe. With its vulnerability increased under climate change, every coastal area became urgently needs a water level model for better flood risk management. Unfortunately, for local water management agencies in developing countries building such a model is challenging due to the limited computational resources and the scarcity of observational data. Here, we attempt to solve the issue by proposing an integrated hydrodynamic and machine learning approach to predict compound flooding in those areas. As a case study, this integrated approach is implemented in Pontianak, the densest coastal urban area over the Kapuas River delta, Indonesia. Firstly, we built a hydrodynamic model to simulate several compound flooding scenarios, and the outputs are then used to train the machine learning model. To obtain a robust machine learning model, we consider three machine learning algorithms, i.e., Random Forest, Multi Linear Regression, and Support Vector Machine. The results show that this integrated scheme is successfully working. The Random Forest performs as the most accurate algorithm to predict flooding hazards in the study area, with RMSE = 0.11 m compared to SVM (RMSE = 0.18 m) and MLR (RMSE = 0.19 m). The machine-learning model with the RF algorithm can predict ten out of seventeen compound flooding events during the testing phase. Therefore, the random forest is proposed as the most appropriate algorithm to build a reliable ML model capable of assessing the compound flood hazards in the area of interest.

The KDD Cup '99 is commonly used dataset for training and testing IDS machine learning algorithms. Some of the major downsides of the dataset are the distribution and the proportions of U2R and R2L instances, which represent the most dangerous attack types, as well as the existence of R2L attack instances identical to normal traffic. This enforces minor category detection complexity and causes problems while building a machine learning model capable of detecting these attacks with sufficiently low false negative rate. This paper presents a new support vector machine based intrusion detection system that classifies unknown data instances according both to the feature values and weight factors that represent importance of features towards the classification. Increased detection rate and significantly decreased false negative rate for U2R and R2L categories, that have a very few instances in the training set, have been empirically proven.

In the current health system, it is very difficult for medical practitioners/physicians to diagnose the effectiveness of heart contraction. In this research, we proposed a machine learning model to predict heart contraction using an artificial neural network (ANN). We also proposed a novel wrapper-based feature selection utilizing a grey wolf optimization (GWO) to reduce the number of required input attributes. In this work, we compared the results achieved using our method and several conventional machine learning algorithms approaches such as support vector machine, decision tree, K-nearest neighbor, naïve bayes, random forest, and logistic regression. Computational results show not only that much fewer features are needed, but also higher prediction accuracy can be achieved around 87%. This work has the potential to be applicable to clinical practice and become a supporting tool for doctors/physicians.

Credit card fraud is a serious criminal offense. It costs individuals and financial institutions billions of dollars annually. According to the reports of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), a consumer protection agency, the number of theft reports doubled in the last two years. It makes the detection and prevention of fraudulent activities critically important to financial institutions. Machine learning algorithms provide a proactive mechanism to prevent credit card fraud with acceptable accuracy. In this paper Machine Learning algorithms such as Logistic Regression, Naïve Bayes, Random Forest, K- Nearest Neighbor, Gradient Boosting, Support Vector Machine, and Neural Network algorithms are implemented for detection of fraudulent transactions. A comparative analysis of these algorithms is performed to identify an optimal solution.

A hybrid machine-learning model, integrating an artificial neural network (ANN) and a support vector machine (SVM) model, is developed to predict spatiotemporal delays, subject to road geometry, number of lane closures, and work zone duration in different periods of a day and in the days of a week. The model is very user friendly, allowing the least inputs from the users. With that the delays caused by a work zone on any location of a New Jersey freeway can be predicted. To this end, tremendous amounts of data from different sources were collected to establish the relationship between the model inputs and outputs. A comparative analysis was conducted, and results indicate that the proposed model outperforms others in terms of the least root mean square error (RMSE). The proposed hybrid model can be used to calculate contractor penalty in terms of cost overruns as well as incentive reward schedule in case of early work competition. Additionally, it can assist work zone planners in determining the best start and end times of a work zone for developing and evaluating traffic mitigation and management plans.

The security of any system is a key factor toward its acceptability by the general public. We propose an intuitive approach to fraud detection in financial institutions using machine learning by designing a Hybrid Credit Card Fraud Detection (HCCFD) system which uses the technique of anomaly detection by applying genetic algorithm and multivariate normal distribution to identify fraudulent transactions on credit cards. An imbalance dataset of credit card transactions was used to the HCCFD and a target variable which indicates whether a transaction is deceitful or otherwise. Using F-score as performance metrics, the model was tested and it gave a prediction accuracy of 93.5%, as against artificial neural network, decision tree and support vector machine, which scored 84.2%, 80.0% and 68.5% respectively, when trained on the same data set. The results obtained showed a significant improvement as compared with the other widely used algorithms.


In recent times, usage of credit cards has increased exponentially which has given way to an increase in the number of cybercrimes related to transactions using credit cards. In this paper, the aim is to reduce the fraudulent credit card transactions happening around the world. Latest technologies like machine learning algorithms, cloud computing and web service implementation has been used in this paper. The model uses Local outlier factor algorithm and Isolation forest algorithm to develop the credit card fraud detection model using unsupervised learning techniques. The model has been implemented as a Web service to make the solution integratable with other applications and clients across the world. A third party prototype application is developed and integrated to the Fraud Detection Model using Web Services. The complete Fraud Detection System is deployed on the cloud. The Fraud Detection Model shows exceptionally high accuracy when compared to other models already existing.
