Improving fraud prediction with incremental data balancing technique for massive data streams

View CodeNotebook

The performance of classification algorithms with a massive and highly imbalanced data stream depends upon efficient balancing strategy. Some techniques of balancing strategy have been applied in the past with Batch data to resolve the class imbalance problem. This paper proposes a new incremental data balancing framework which can work with massive imbalanced data streams. In this paper, we choose Racing Algorithm as an automated data balancing technique which optimizes the balancing techniques. We applied Random Forest classification algorithm which can deal with the massive data stream. We investigated the suitability of Racing Algorithm and Random Forest in the proposed framework. Applying new technique in the proposed framework on the European Credit Card dataset, provided better results than the Batch mode. The proposed framework is more scalable to handle online massive data streams.
