Machine Learning For Fraud Detection in Online Transactions
Machine Learning For Fraud Detection in Online Transactions
Abstract:
This project focuses on the application of machine learning
techniques for enhancing the detection and prevention of
fraudulent activities in online transactions. By leveraging
historical transaction data, the system will employ advanced
machine learning algorithms to identify patterns indicative of
fraudulent behaviour. Real-time monitoring will enable swift
detection of suspicious activities, triggering immediate alerts
or interventions to mitigate potential losses. The project also
aims to continuously improve its accuracy by incorporating
adaptive learning mechanisms that evolve with emerging
fraud patterns. By integrating machine learning into the realm
of online transactions, this initiative seeks to bolster the
security of digital financial ecosystems and in still confidence
among users in the safety of their online transactions.
