Course Overview
The course aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the techniques and technologies used to detect and prevent insurance fraud. The course will cover the basics of insurance fraud, the impact of fraud on insurance companies and policyholders, and the legal and ethical considerations related to fraud detection. Students will gain hands-on experience working with real-world data and using machine learning and data analysis techniques to develop and implement fraud detection models.
Course Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
Define insurance fraud and explain its impact on the insurance industry.
Understand the legal and ethical considerations of insurance fraud detection.
Perform exploratory data analysis on insurance claims data to identify patterns and anomalies that may indicate fraud.
Develop and implement machine learning models to detect fraudulent insurance claims.
Evaluate the performance of fraud detection models using various performance metrics such as precision, recall, and F1-score.
Understand the challenges and opportunities of insurance fraud detection in practice.
Develop a deep understanding of insurance fraud detection from real-world case studies.
Prerequisites:
Basic programming knowledge (preferably Python)
Basic understanding of statistics
Course Outline:
Introduction to Insurance Fraud Detection
Understanding the basics of insurance fraud
Different types of insurance fraud and their impact on insurance companies and policyholders
Legal and ethical considerations related to insurance fraud detection
Exploratory Data Analysis for Insurance Fraud Detection
Understanding insurance claims data and its key attributes
Using data visualization techniques to explore and understand the data
Identifying patterns and anomalies in insurance claims data that may indicate fraud
Machine Learning Techniques for Insurance Fraud Detection
Introduction to machine learning techniques such as logistic regression, decision trees, and neural networks
Applying machine learning techniques to insurance claims data to develop fraud detection models
Feature engineering and data preprocessing for fraud detection
Model Evaluation and Deployment
Understanding performance metrics for fraud detection models such as precision, recall, and F1-score
Evaluating the performance of fraud detection models using real-world data
Deploying fraud detection models in practice
Challenges and Opportunities of Insurance Fraud Detection
Understanding the challenges and limitations of fraud detection in practice
Best practices for fraud prevention and mitigation
Real-world case studies and examples of insurance fraud detection
Capstone Project
Applying the concepts and techniques learned in the course to develop a fraud detection system using real-world data
Presenting and evaluating the results of the project
Throughout the syllabus, students will use popular data science and machine learning libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, and Scikit-Learn to build and evaluate their insurance fraud detection models. They will also learn how to perform exploratory data analysis, preprocess insurance claims data, perform feature engineering, and use various techniques to extract valuable information from the data.
The course will cover a range of machine learning techniques, including supervised and unsupervised learning, anomaly detection, and network analysis, and how to apply these techniques to real-world insurance claims data to identify and prevent fraudulent claims.
Students will also learn how to evaluate the performance of their models using various performance metrics such as precision, recall, F1 score, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. They will also explore ethical considerations in insurance fraud detection, such as ensuring fairness and avoiding bias in the models.
