Course Description
Credit card fraud is a major concern for financial institutions and individuals alike. In this course, we will explore techniques for detecting credit card fraud using various machine learning and statistical methods. We will also discuss best practices for preventing fraud and minimizing losses.
What is Credit card fraud detection?
Credit card fraud detection refers to the process of identifying fraudulent transactions made using a credit card. Credit card fraud occurs when someone uses another person's credit card without their permission, typically for making unauthorized purchases or withdrawing cash. Credit card fraud detection involves the use of various techniques and technologies to detect and prevent fraud, such as data analysis, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
Financial institutions and credit card issuers typically have fraud detection systems in place to monitor credit card transactions and identify any suspicious activity. These systems analyze various factors such as transaction history, location, transaction amount, and user behavior to determine the likelihood of a transaction being fraudulent. If a transaction is deemed suspicious, it may be blocked, and the cardholder may be notified to confirm the legitimacy of the transaction.
Course Goals
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
Understand the nature of credit card fraud and its impact on financial institutions and individuals.
Explain the key concepts and techniques used for credit card fraud detection, including supervised and unsupervised learning methods.
Analyze credit card transaction data to identify potential fraud patterns and anomalies.
Evaluate and compare different fraud detection models and techniques.
Develop and implement a fraud detection system using machine learning techniques.

Capstone Project
Applying the concepts and techniques learned in the course to develop and implement a credit card fraud detection system
Presenting the results of the project and reflecting on the challenges and opportunities of fraud detection in practice
Throughout the course, students will use popular data science and machine learning libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, and Scikit-Learn to build and evaluate their credit card fraud detection models. They will learn how to perform exploratory data analysis, preprocess credit card transaction data, perform feature engineering, and use various machine learning techniques to detect fraudulent transactions.
The course will cover a range of machine learning techniques, including supervised learning methods such as logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, and support vector machines, and unsupervised learning methods such as clustering and anomaly detection. Students will learn how to evaluate the performance of their models using various performance metrics such as precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC-ROC.
In addition to machine learning techniques, the course will cover best practices for preventing and mitigating credit card fraud, including identifying potential security vulnerabilities, monitoring user behavior, and implementing fraud detection rules. Students will also learn about the legal and ethical considerations of credit card fraud detection, including privacy concerns and regulatory compliance.
