Researchers have introduced a new framework called Ranking Prior Alignment (RPA) designed to improve credit risk modeling, particularly in cold-start scenarios where labeled data is scarce. RPA distills external ranking priors from sources like domain experts, teacher models, or LLMs into any scoring model using a temperature-scaled KL divergence loss. This method has demonstrated significant improvements in AUC across various model families, including neural networks and tree-based models, on both industrial and public datasets. The framework's effectiveness increases as data abundance, model capacity, and feature quality decrease, providing guidance on when to invest in external prior annotation. AI
