LLMs enhance reinforcement learning for e-commerce fraud detection · 2 papers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Two research papers explore the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance reinforcement learning (RL) for e-commerce payment fraud detection. The first paper frames fraud detection as a multi-step Markov Decision Process and uses LLMs to refine reward functions, improving accuracy and demonstrating zero-shot capabilities. The second paper addresses the challenge of reject inference in fraud detection by using a dual-stream LLM-guided reward design, which accounts for transactions blocked by legacy systems and achieves significant improvements in precision over previous methods. AI

IMPACT LLMs are being integrated into reinforcement learning frameworks to improve accuracy and handle complex data challenges in fraud detection.

    LLM-Enhanced Self-Evolving Reinforcement Learning for Multi-Step E-Commerce Payment Fraud Risk Detection

    arXiv:2509.18719v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach to e-commerce payment fraud detection by integrating reinforcement learning (RL) with Large Language Models (LLMs). By framing transaction risk as a multi-step Markov Decision Process (MDP), RL…

    Dual-Stream LLM-Guided Reward Design for Reject-Inference-Aware Reinforcement Learning in E-Commerce Payment Fraud Detection

    arXiv:2611.08706v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Production fraud-detection models learn from a censored slice of their own traffic: transactions a legacy system blocked never receive fraud labels, so models train on a biased, approved-only distribution. We extend LLM-guided rew…
