ABSTRACT
Now a days Digital transactions are rapidly increasing as it results in increasing
online payment frauds too. In fact, according to the Reserve Bank of India, comparing
March 2022 to March 2019, digital payments have risen in volume and value by
216% and 10%, respectively. People are starting to go all-in with digital transactions,
but one can’t deny the security issues that loom, and know-how when it comes to
online payments. Few years ago, we could have barely seen the online payment, but
today UPI payment QR code installed at doorstep. This invited the hoaxers and
attackers to develop fraudulent transactions and fool people for some amount of
money. Fortunately, the online transactions are monitored and hence could be
analyzed using the latest tools. In this system, an attempt is made to develop a
machine learning model to identify fraudulent transactions in a transaction’s dataset.

INTRODUCTION

Mobile payment has gained significant popularity as a mainstream payment method,


leading to a high volume of transactions on online trading platforms. Unfortunately,
this popularity also attracts criminals who exploit the complex network environment to
commit fraud. Such fraudulent activities not only harm consumers but also impede the
healthy growth of the online economy. Consequently, effective transaction fraud
detection becomes a vital tool in combating network transaction fraud. Traditional
fraud detection approaches primarily rely on statistical and multi-dimensional analysis
techniques. However, these verification based methods struggle to uncover the
underlying patterns in transaction data, limiting their effectiveness. On the other hand,
big data technology and machine learning algorithms offer efficient solutions for
detecting transaction fraud. Machine learning, particularly when applied to large
datasets, can capture important features that traditional statistical methods fail to
describe. By utilizing suitable machine learning techniques, we can build models
based on existing transaction data to detect network transaction fraud, thereby
mitigating associated losses. In 2018, Zhaohui Zhang proposed a reconstructed feature
convolutional neural network prediction model specifically tailored for transaction
fraud detection. This model demonstrated improved stability and classification
effectiveness compared to other convolutional neural network models. However, a
challenge remains in achieving high detection accuracy due to imbalanced sample
labels. To address this, the paper introduces two fraud detection algorithms: one based
on a Fully Connected Neural Network and another utilizing XGBoost. The former
algorithm integrates two neural network models with different cross-entropy loss
functions, enabling a quick and convenient design process for the combined model.
The latter algorithm leverages Hyperopt to optimize the XGBoost classifier, resulting
in a fraud detection model with superior performance by selecting the best parameters.
These two algorithms serve different application scenarios.
