• Abstract: This paper presents the advantages of alternative data from Super-Apps to enhance user' s income estimation models. It compares the performance of these alternative data sources with the performance of industry-accepted bureau income estimators that takes into account only financial system information; successfully showing that the alternative data manage to capture information that bureau income estimators do not. By implementing the TreeSHAP method for Stochastic Gradient Boosting Interpretation, this paper highlights which of the customer' s behavioral and transactional patterns within a Super-App have a stronger predictive power when estimating user' s income. Ultimately, this paper shows the incentive for financial institutions to seek to incorporate alternative data into constructing their risk profiles.

  The purpose of this research is to examine the efficacy of logit and probit models in predicting term deposit subscriptions. The target variable was balanced, considering the inherent imbalance in the dataset. The logit model performed better than the probit model in handling this classification problem.

  We introduce a novel debiasing method called confidence regularization. It discourages models from exploiting biases while enabling them to receive enough incentive to learn from all the training examples. We evaluate our method on three NLU tasks and show that, in contrast to its predecessors, it improves the performance on out-of-distribution datasets.
