about the book

Fight Fraud with Machine Learning teaches you to build and deploy state-of-the-art fraud detection systems. You’ll start with the basics of rule-based systems, iterating chapter-by-chapter until you’re creating tools to stop the most sophisticated modern attacks. Almost every online fraud you might encounter is covered in detail.

Examples and exercises help you practice identifying credit card fraud with logistic regression, using decision trees and random forests to identify fraudulent online transactions, and detecting fake insurance claims through gradient boosted trees. You’ll deploy neural networks to tackle Know Your Customer fraud, spot social network bots, catch deepfakes, and more! Plus, you’ll even dive into the latest research papers to discover powerful deep learning techniques such as vision transformers.
