AI Driven Workflow for Effective Fraud Detection and Prevention

Fraud Detection and Prevention Using AI

1. Data Collection

1.1 Source Identification

Identify relevant data sources, including:

• Property records
• Loan applications
• Credit reports
• Market trends

1.2 Data Aggregation

Utilize AI-driven tools to aggregate data from multiple sources. Examples include:

• Zillow API for property valuation data
• CoreLogic for credit and property history

2. Data Preprocessing

2.1 Data Cleaning

Implement AI algorithms to clean and preprocess data, ensuring accuracy and consistency.

2.2 Feature Engineering

Utilize AI techniques to identify and create relevant features that may indicate potential fraud.

3. Fraud Detection Model Development

3.1 Model Selection

Select appropriate machine learning models for fraud detection, such as:

• Random Forest
• Neural Networks
• Support Vector Machines

3.2 Training the Model

Train the selected model using historical data, incorporating features identified in the preprocessing stage.

3.3 Model Evaluation

Evaluate model performance using metrics such as:

• Accuracy
• Precision
