AI pipeline enhances financial fraud detection with LLM-generated narratives

Researchers have developed an end-to-end pipeline for identifying money mule accounts, a critical component in combating financial fraud. The system utilizes a LightGBM classifier with 280 features, a TreeSHAP layer for explaining predictions, and a large language model (LLM) to generate natural-language narratives for analysts. This LLM-augmented approach significantly improved detection rates in a live deployment, increasing the yield from 61% to 89% and expanding true-positive coverage. AI

IMPACT This research demonstrates how LLMs can be integrated into financial systems to improve fraud detection and reduce analyst workload.

    Detection, Attribution, Narration: An End-to-End Pipeline for Explainable Money Mule Identification

    arXiv:2607.17586v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Money mule accounts are critical facilitators of financial fraud, yet detecting them at scale remains challenging due to the heterogeneous nature of transactional and behavioural data. We present an end-to-end pipeline for custome…
