Researchers propose a fraud detection framework using a stacking ensemble of XGBoost, LightGBM, and CatBoost models.
Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques like SHAP, LIME, PDP, and PFI are employed to enhance model transparency and interpretability.
The model achieved high performance metrics with 99% accuracy and an AUC-ROC score of 0.99 on the IEEE-CIS Fraud Detection dataset.
Combining high prediction accuracy with transparent interpretability could lead to a more ethical and trustworthy solution in financial fraud detection.
