• Title: Label Augmentation via Time-based Knowledge Distillation for Financial Anomaly Detection
• Authors: Hongda Shen, Eren Kursun
• Abstract summary: Financial anomaly detection use cases face serious challenges due to the dynamic nature of the underlying patterns. Keeping up with the rapid changes introduces other challenges as it moves the model away from older patterns or continuously grows the size of the training data. We propose a label augmentation approach to utilize the learning from older models to boost the latest.

• Abstract: Detecting anomalies has become increasingly critical to the financial service industry. Anomalous events are often indicative of illegal activities such as fraud, identity theft, network intrusion, account takeover, and money laundering. Financial anomaly detection use cases face serious challenges due to the dynamic nature of the underlying patterns especially in adversarial environments such as constantly changing fraud tactics. While retraining the models with the new patterns is absolutely essential; keeping up with the rapid changes introduces other challenges as it moves the model away from older patterns or continuously grows the size of the training data. The resulting data growth is hard to manage and it reduces the agility of the models' response to the latest attacks. Due to the data size limitations and the need to track the latest patterns, older time periods are often dropped in practice, which in turn, causes vulnerabilities. In this study, we propose a label augmentation approach to utilize the learning from older models to boost the latest. Experimental results show that the proposed approach provides a significant reduction in training time, while providing potential performance improvement.

  Living-off-the-land (LOTL) offensive methodologies rely on perpetration of malicious actions through chains of commands executed by legitimate applications. LOTL techniques are well hidden inside the stream of events generated by common legitimate activities. We propose an augmentation framework to enhance and diversify the presence of LOTL malicious activity inside legitimate logs.

  Continual learning seeks to overcome the challenge of catastrophic forgetting, where a model forgets previously learnt information. We introduce a novel prior-based method that better constrains parameter growth, reducing catastrophic forgetting. Results show that BAdam achieves state-of-the-art performance for prior-based methods on challenging single-headed class-incremental experiments.

  Given the escalating risks of malicious attacks in the finance sector, understanding adversarial strategies and robust defense mechanisms for machine learning models is critical. We aim to investigate the current state and dynamics of adversarial attacks and defenses for neural network models that use sequential financial data as the input. We have designed a competition that allows realistic and detailed investigation of problems in modern financial transaction data. The participants compete directly against each other, so possible attacks and defenses are examined in close-to-real-life conditions.

  In practical scenarios where training data is limited, many predictive signals in the data can be rather from some biases in data acquisition. We consider an adversarial threat model under a mutual information constraint to cover a wider class of perturbations in training. We propose an autoencoder-based training to implement the objective, as well as practical encoder designs to facilitate the proposed hybrid discriminative-generative training.
