New SilIF Algorithm Enhances Unsupervised Fraud Detection

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed SilIF, a novel enhancement to the Isolation Forest algorithm for unsupervised transaction fraud detection. SilIF incorporates a silhouette-based scoring layer, which analyzes the representation space created by the forest's trees to better identify anomalies. This augmentation demonstrated an improvement in AUC-PR by 0.0080 on average over standard Isolation Forest on a large transaction fraud dataset, though its effectiveness varied across different datasets.

    SilIF: Silhouette-Augmented Isolation Forest for Unsupervised Transaction Fraud Detection

    arXiv:2605.26135v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unsupervised anomaly detection is widely used in transaction fraud detection where labels are scarce. Isolation Forest (IF) is among the most popular classical methods due to its scalability and ease of deployment. We propose SilIF,…
