CoDetect: Financial Fraud Detection With
Anomaly Feature Detection
ABSTRACT:
Financial fraud, such as money laundering, is known to be a serious process of crime
that makes illegitimately obtained funds go to terrorism or other criminal activity. This
kind of illegal activities involve complex networks of trade and financial transactions,
which makes it difficult to detect the fraud entities and discover the features of fraud.
Fortunately, trading/transaction network and features of entities in the network can be
constructed from the complex networks of the trade and financial transactions. The
trading/transaction network reveals the interaction between entities, and thus anomaly
detection on trading networks can reveal the entities involved in the fraud activity; while
features of entities are the description of entities, and anomaly detection on features
can re_ect details of the fraud activities. Thus, network and features provide
complementary information for fraud detection, which has potential to improve fraud
detection performance. However, the majority of existing methods focus on networks or
features information separately, which does not utilize both information. In this paper,
we propose a novel fraud detection framework, CoDetect, which can leverage both
network information and feature information for financial fraud detection. In addition, the
CoDetect can simultaneously detecting financial fraud activities and the feature patterns
associated with the fraud activities. Extensive experiments on both synthetic data and
real-world data demonstrate the efficiency and the effectiveness of the proposed
framework in combating financial fraud, especially for money laundering.
