Predictive Modeling for Insurance Claims Fraud Detection

Project Abstract

Insurance fraud is a significant issue that impacts the financial stability of insurance companies and increases costs for policyholders. In response to this challenge, predictive modeling techniques have emerged as a valuable tool for detecting and preventing fraudulent insurance claims. This research project aims to develop a predictive modeling framework specifically tailored for insurance claims fraud detection. The study will focus on leveraging advanced machine learning algorithms and data analytics to identify suspicious patterns and behaviors indicative of fraudulent activities.
