Summary of 🔍 Fraud Detection Using NLP & Machine Learning: Flag Suspicious Transactions Like a Pro! - DS

The video discusses fraud detection using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning techniques, focusing on a dataset known as the detailed transaction data CSV file. This dataset simulates real-world transaction scenarios and contains 11 critical columns, each providing essential details about transactions. Key features of the dataset include:

• Transaction ID: Uniquely identifies each transaction.
• Description: Textual details about the transaction, which will be analyzed using NLP.
• Amount: The monetary value of the transaction.
• Merchant: Information about the business where the transaction occurred.
• Timestamp: Indicates when the transaction took place.
• Channel: Specifies whether the transaction was made online, in-store, or via mobile app.
• Customer ID: Uniquely identifies each customer.
• Customer Location: Geographic position of the customer.
• Device Consistency: Flags if the transaction aligns with the customer’s usual device behavior.
• Fraud Score: A numerical estimate of the likelihood of fraud.
• Label: Indicates whether the transaction is marked as fraud or legitimate.

The video emphasizes the importance of leveraging these fields, particularly transaction descriptions, to identify patterns and flag suspicious activities, ultimately aiming to build a robust fraud detection model.
