• Abstract: The presence of Super-Apps have changed the way we think about the interactions between users and commerce. It then comes as no surprise that it is also redefining the way banking is done. The paper investigates how different interactions between users within a Super-App provide a new source of information to predict borrower behavior. To this end, two experiments with different graph-based methodologies are proposed, the first uses graph based features as input in a classification model and the second uses graph neural networks. Our results show that variables of centrality, behavior of neighboring users and transactionality of a user constituted new forms of knowledge that enhance statistical and financial performance of credit risk models. Furthermore, opportunities are identified for Super-Apps to redefine the definition of credit risk by contemplating all the environment that their platforms entail, leading to a more inclusive financial system.

  Tail users suffer from significantly lower-quality recommendation than the head users after joint training. A model trained on tail users separately still achieve inferior results due to limited data. We propose a novel approach that significantly improves the recommendation performance of the tail users.

In Corporate lending, where the gain is much higher, it confirms that evaluating an unbanked company cannot solely consider its features.

  We propose a framework of relational graph convolutional networks methods for fraudulent behaviour prevention in the financial services of a Super-App. We use an interpretability algorithm for graph neural networks to determine the most important relations to the classification task of the users. Our results show that there is an added value when considering models that take advantage of the alternative data of the Super-App and the interactions found in their high connectivity.

  We study a novel problem of explainable user engagement prediction for social network Apps. We design an end-to-end neural framework, FATE, which incorporates three key factors that we identify to influence user engagement. FATE is based on a tensor-based graph neural network (GNN), LSTM and a mixture attention mechanism, which allows for (a) predictive explanations based on learned weights across different feature categories, (b) reduced network complexity, and (c) improved performance in both prediction accuracy and training/inference time.
