• Abstract: In the realm of consumer lending, accurate credit default prediction stands as a critical element in risk mitigation and lending decision optimization. Extensive research has sought continuous improvement in existing models to enhance customer experiences and ensure the sound economic functioning of lending institutions. This study responds to the evolving landscape of credit default prediction, challenging conventional models and introducing innovative approaches. By building upon foundational research and recent innovations, our work aims to redefine the standards of accuracy in credit default prediction, setting a new benchmark for the industry. To overcome these challenges, we present an Ensemble Methods framework comprising LightGBM, XGBoost, and LocalEnsemble modules, each making unique contributions to amplify diversity and improve generalization. By utilizing distinct feature sets, our methodology directly tackles limitations identified in previous studies, with the overarching goal of establishing a novel standard for credit default prediction accuracy. Our experimental findings validate the effectiveness of the ensemble model on the dataset, signifying substantial contributions to the field. This innovative approach not only addresses existing obstacles but also sets a precedent for advancing the accuracy and robustness of credit default prediction models.

  We develop a novel training method for generative models, such as Generative Adversarial Networks and Normalizing Flows. We show that achieving a specified precision-recall trade-off corresponds to minimizing a unique $f$-divergence from a family we call the textitPR-divergences. Our approach improves the performance of existing state-of-the-art models like BigGAN in terms of either precision or recall when tested on datasets such as ImageNet.

  We argue that devising simpler methods for learning predictors on existing features is a promising direction for future research. We introduce Domain-Adjusted Regression (DARE), a convex objective for learning a linear predictor that is provably robust under a new model of distribution shift. Under a natural model, we prove that the DARE solution is the minimax-optimal predictor for a constrained set of test distributions.
