Real Time Credit Card Fraud Detection and Reporting System Using Machine Learning (Published)

This study addresses the critical issue of real-time credit card fraud detection using machine learning. The primary goal is to develop a model that promptly identifies fraudulent transactions and alerts users. Two algorithms—Random Forest and Decision Tree Classifier were used, alongside various sampling techniques to balance the dataset and enhance performance. Six models were created, each with different accuracy levels in fraud detection. Key findings include a higher incidence of fraud among individuals over 75 years, likely due to less familiarity with modern transaction methods. Additionally, a majority of transactions involved females, indicating a potential higher fraud risk in these transactions. The Random Forest -SMOTE [Hyperparameter Tuned] model was the most effective, achieving a 97% accuracy rate, 95% F1 score, and 98% precision rate. For practical application, this model was integrated with Twilio for real-time fraud alerts, proving successful in sending timely, accurate notifications. The study highlights valuable insights and a robust solution for real-time fraud detection and response. Regular performance evaluations of the model are recommended to maintain its effectiveness against evolving fraud patterns.

A Comparison of Two Machine Learning Techniques for the Prediction of Initial Oil in Place in the Niger Delta Region (Published)

Conventionally, the knowledge of experts on the drilling features of a potential oil well is practically used to predict the volume of initial oil in place. Experts used different knowledge-based models such as volumetric, material balancing, analogy to predict the initial oil in place. In this study, 816 datasets were collected from Shell petroleum development company (SPDC) where the volumetric method is used for their prediction. These datasets were preprocessed and applied on two machine learning techniques of random forest and supervised vector regressor to predict the initial oil in place and the results obtained were compared with that obtained from SPDC.The results of computation using 4 principal features from the 9 features were closer to that obtained from SPDC than the computations using all the 9 features. The results of computations with random forest were also compared with that of supervised vector regressor. The results of random forest covary strongly (0.970) with the field results more than that of the support vector regressor (0.832). The uniqueness of this study is shown in the use of 4 predicting features (independent variables) to obtain prediction values that are very close to that obtained in the field with 9 features. This is obtained with random forest, so it can be recommended as a reliable machine technique for the prediction of initial oil in place in the Niger delta region.

Assessing the Predictive Capability of a Machine Learning Model (Published)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated machine learning system that has been put into place to help professionals predict how patients will respond to steroid treatment for glaucoma. The research employed a quantitative research methodology, utilizing descriptive statistics. Taro Yamane formula was applied in finding a suitable population size. Our study employed linear regression analysis to establish the correlation between the predictors, i.e the novel predicting system, and the dependent variable, which pertains to the effectiveness of forecasting a patient’s reaction to steroid treatment. The analysis showed that implementing a novel prediction technique would have a notable impact and efficiency in determining a persons status in pre-trabeculectomy evaluation. The p-value (0.000), which is less than the predefined significance level (Alpha) of 0.05—more specifically, 0.000<0.05—indicates the evidence for a significant finding. The calculated t-value (33.196) exceeds the critical t-value (1.960). Consequently, the correlation coefficient (R) of 0.920 demonstrates a highly robust positive effect.

An Investigation of Translation of Text Language to Sign Language Using Machine Learning (Published)

Among the fastest-growing areas of study today is the translation of sign language, which is the most natural form of communication for those with hearing loss. Deaf individuals may be able to communicate with hearing people directly, without an intermediary, with the use of a hand gesture recognition device. The method was developed to facilitate the automatic translation of American Sign Language into text and sound. The suggested system uses a large data collection to interpret individual words and phrases in traditional American Sign Language, alleviating any fears that the user may have about using a virtual camera. Deaf and mute persons must rely on Sign Language as their only method of communication. However, a large portion of the general public is illiterate in sign language. Therefore, those who sign have a more difficult time communicating with those who don’t without the help of an interpreter. The proposed technique employs data collected by Fifth Dimension Technologies (5DT) gloves to try to interpret hand movements as spoken language. The data has been classified into text words using a variety of machine learning techniques, including neural networks, decision tree classifiers, and k-nearest neighbors.

The base model used includes Random Forest(RF), Extreme Gradient Boosting Algorithm(XGBoost), Light Gradient Boosting Machine(LightGBM), Decision Tree regression and ElasticNet Regression. Various combinations of the base models were stacked using StackingCVRegressor. The final model was developed by combining the best performing stacked models and evaluated using R-Square, Mean Absolute Error(MAE), Root Mean Square Error(RMSE), Mean Square Error(MSE) and Training time. The proposed model outperformed the various individual base model with R-square of 0.985203, MSE of 0.013438, RMSE of 0.115923, MAE of 0.063411 and training time of 0.599398. The result show that multi-level stacking significant improve the accuracy of a model. Again, it was observed stacking improve the performance accuracy of a model at the cost of computational time. Stacking by using blending function for the proposed model significantly reduced the computational time for training the model to 0.599398 second when compared to using StackingCVRegressor with training time of 107.054931 seconds. Therefore, multi-level stacking ensemble technique can be employed to improve the predictive accuracy of a prediction model. Future work can be done by increasing the dataset and also increasing the number of features.
