Development of a Predictive Model for Insurance Claim Fraud Detection

Project Abstract

The insurance industry plays a critical role in providing financial protection to individuals and organizations against various risks. However, insurance fraud poses a significant challenge to the industry, leading to substantial financial losses and reputational damage. In response to this problem, the development of predictive models for insurance claim fraud detection has emerged as a promising approach to enhance fraud detection capabilities and mitigate the impact of fraudulent activities. This research project aims to develop an advanced predictive model for insurance claim fraud detection by leveraging machine learning algorithms and big data analytics.
