Machine Learning Applications in Fraud Detection for Banking Transactions

Project Abstract

Fraud detection in banking transactions is a critical area that poses significant challenges to financial institutions worldwide. Traditional rule-based fraud detection systems have limitations in identifying complex and evolving fraudulent activities. As a result, there is a growing interest in leveraging machine learning techniques to enhance fraud detection capabilities. This research project aims to explore the applications of machine learning in fraud detection for banking transactions. The study will focus on developing and evaluating machine learning models to detect fraudulent activities with high accuracy and efficiency.
