• Abstract: Credit card fraud has emerged as major problem in the electronic payment sector. In this survey, we study data-driven credit card fraud detection particularities and several machine learning methods to address each of its intricate challenges with the goal to identify fraudulent transactions that have been issued illegitimately on behalf of the rightful card owner. In particular, we first characterize a typical credit card detection task: the dataset and its attributes, the metric choice along with some methods to handle such unbalanced datasets. These questions are the entry point of every credit card fraud detection problem. Then we focus on dataset shift (sometimes called concept drift), which refers to the fact that the underlying distribution generating the dataset evolves over times: For example, card holders may change their buying habits over seasons and fraudsters may adapt their strategies. This phenomenon may hinder the usage of machine learning methods for real world datasets such as credit card transactions datasets. Afterwards we highlights different approaches used in order to capture the sequential properties of credit card transactions. These approaches range from feature engineering techniques (transactions aggregations for example) to proper sequence modeling methods such as recurrent neural networks (LSTM) or graphical models (hidden markov models).

  Existing approaches to event prediction include time-aware positional embeddings, learned row and field encodings, and oversampling methods for addressing class imbalance. We propose a simple but flexible baseline using standard autoregressive LLM-style transformers with elementary positional embeddings and a causal language modeling objective. Our baseline outperforms existing approaches across popular datasets and can be employed for various use-cases.

  The Cold-start is a significant problem referring to the failure of a detection system to recognize the authenticity of a new user. In this paper, we model a review system as a Heterogeneous InformationNetwork (HIN) which enables a unique representation to every component. HIN with graph induction helps to address the camouflage issue (fraudsterswith genuine reviews) which has shown to be more severe when it is coupled with cold-start, i.e., new fraudsters with genuine first reviews.
