Credit Card Fraud

Tech Stack:

Tech StackTech Stack

Credit Card Fraud Detection Using Machine Learning Implemented and compared multiple machine learning models, including SVM (linear, RBF, and polynomial kernels), logistic regression, decision trees, neural networks, and random forests to detect credit card fraud. Addressed class imbalance using under-sampling, over-sampling, and SMOTE, achieving significant improvements in recall, precision, and F1-score. Successfully demonstrated that over-sampling methods outperformed other approaches in balancing fraud detection accuracy.
