Introduction to the Problem

Public sector constantly working in an environment of reduced resources

Want to provide a better service but with greater efficiency

Therefore very important that limited resources are focussed correctly

Assurance Scoring Use ML and other analytical methods to identify the least risky people or applications so

that investigators resources can be targeted on the most risky



Hypothetical Example – 2016 Olympics tickets

Running the application process for selling tickets to the 2016 Olympics

Avoid selling tickets to touts/resellers Vast majority of people applying for tickets are genuine Fraud detection with big class imbalance problem (<0.1%) Avoid approach of investigating each person applying

Lets say we know from 2012 Olympics which people ended up reselling their tickets – training data

Use ML to identify the least risky 30% (say) of people wanting tickets

Investigators focus on the high risk

Assurance Scoring

Focus on low-risk

Allows resources to be better focussed

Not limited to Machine Learning

Built using Python! Pandas, Scikit-learn etc

POLE ‘Analytical’ Data Layer

Disparate data sources - Atomic Layer

Atomic data is Transformed and Loaded into POLE

Low risk? High risk? Depends on classifier’s threshold

• True-positives : applications the model correctly classifies as high risk

• True negatives: applications model correctly classifies as low risk

• False-positives: applications the model scores as high risk but are not

• False-negatives: applications the model scores as low risk but were in fact high risk



Assurance Scoring



Business Rules

Identifying Fraud often been done using deterministic rules

Look for transactions near a threshold or at the end of the day

Primarily data queries on your feature vector

Olympics example – Anyone applying for more than £10,000 tickets



Assurance Scoring



Anomaly Detection

Use the training data to create a baseline of applications by postcode (say)

If a particular postcode has a larger than expected number of applications then those cases pushed into high-risk bucket



Assurance Scoring



Graph Links - Matching

Key part of assurance scoring – bringing data together from disparate sources

Probability of Match: 80%
