Fraud Detection & Machine Learning

Section 6 of 9

Rule engines, real-time ML feature stores, graph analysis for fraud rings, model serving, SHAP explainability, and regulatory requirements for automated decisions

Key Takeaways

  • Rule engines catch known fraud patterns instantly; ML catches unknown patterns — you need both in a layered defence
  • Feature freshness is the hardest problem in real-time ML: a feature computed 10 minutes ago is useless for detecting account takeover
  • Graph analysis (finding fraud rings) requires different data structures than tabular ML — Neo4j or Neptune for connected data
  • SHAP values are the standard explainability tool for regulators — a model that can't explain its decisions fails regulatory requirements
  • Model drift in fraud detection is fast — fraudsters adapt within days, requiring continuous retraining pipelines
