New diffusion model tackles imbalanced data for fraud detection

Researchers have introduced Quantile-TabDDPM, a novel diffusion model designed to address the challenge of highly imbalanced tabular data, common in fields like FinTech and healthcare. Standard diffusion models struggle with skewed datasets due to their quadratic error loss, which overlooks rare, critical instances. Quantile-TabDDPM enhances these models by incorporating a quantile loss term alongside the standard objective, enabling better capture of extreme values and minority classes. Evaluations on a real-world credit card transaction dataset demonstrated its effectiveness for fraud detection. AI

IMPACT This new diffusion model approach could improve fraud detection and other critical applications dealing with imbalanced datasets.

    Usefulness of Quantile-Aware Diffusion Modeling for Highly Imbalanced Tabular Data

    Classification problem in the context of highly imbalanced data is a major challenge in many real-world applications (e.g., FinTech, healthcare, etc.). In these cases, the vast majority of instances belong to a single class and a small fraction represent the minority class (often…
