  • Patent number: 11954685
    Abstract: Training a machine learning model includes selecting a subset of training transactions from a plurality of training transactions to be used for classifying transactions as either fraudulent or genuine, and classifying transactions as either fraudulent or genuine. Additionally, selecting the subset of training transactions includes clustering the plurality of training transactions into a plurality of clusters based on a similarity measure. Each training transaction includes an indication whether the training transaction is fraudulent or genuine. Further, selecting the subset of training transactions includes selecting a first proportion of the training transactions of a cluster of training transactions for the subset of training transactions if the cluster comprises at least one fraudulent training transaction, and selecting a second proportion of the training transactions of a cluster of training transactions for the subset of training transactions if the cluster is free of fraudulent training transactions.

  • Patent number: 11127015
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a concept of fraud handling. A data transaction request is received via a data network from at least one user account. The data transaction request is analyzed based on predefined fraud detection rules to generate a fraud score associated with the at least one user account. The at least one user account is classified as fraudulent account if the associated fraud score exceeds a predefined fraud likelihood threshold. Data transactions associated with a classified fraudulent account via the data network are pseudo-randomly permitted or blocked.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a concept of fraud handling. A data transaction request is received via a data network from at least one user account. The data transaction request is analyzed based on predefined fraud detection rules to generate a fraud score associated with the at least one user account. The at least one user account is classified as fraudulent account if the associated fraud score exceeds a predefined fraud likelihood threshold. Data transactions associated with a classified fraudulent account via the data network are done by purposely deteriorating the data transactions associated with the classified fraudulent account in comparison to data transactions associated with a classified non-fraudulent account.

  • Publication number: 20200285895
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, an apparatus and a computer program for selecting a subset of training transactions from a plurality of training transactions for training a machine-learning model to be used for classifying trans-actions as either fraudulent or genuine, and to a method for classifying transactions as either fraudulent or genuine. The method for selecting a subset of training transactions from a plurality of training transactions for training a machine-learning model to be used for classifying trans-actions as either fraudulent or genuine comprises clustering the plurality of training transactions into a plurality of clusters based on a similarity measure. Each training transaction comprises an indication whether the training transaction is fraudulent or genuine.
