Approaches to Fraud Detection on Credit Card Transactions Using Artificial Intelligence Methods
Credit card fraud is an ongoing problem for almost all industries in the world, and it raises millions of dollars to the global economy each year. Therefore, there is a number of research either completed or proceeding in order to detect these kinds of frauds in the industry. These researches generally use rule-based or novel artificial intelligence approaches to find eligible solutions. The ultimate goal of this paper is to summarize state-of-the-art approaches to fraud detection using artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques. While summarizing, we will categorize the common problems such as imbalanced dataset, real time working scenarios, and feature engineering challenges that almost all research works encounter, and identify general approaches to solve them. The imbalanced dataset problem occurs because the number of legitimate transactions is much higher than the fraudulent ones whereas applying the right feature engineering is substantial as the features obtained from the industries are limited, and applying feature engineering methods and reforming the dataset is crucial. Also, adapting the detection system to real time scenarios is a challenge since the number of credit card transactions in a limited time period is very high. In addition, we will discuss how evaluation metrics and machine learning methods differentiate among each research. NTRODUCTION The number of cashless transactions is at its peak point since the beginning of the digital era and it is most likely to increase in the future.
From Robotic Process Automation to Intelligent Process Automation: Emerging Trends
In this survey, we study how recent advances in machine intelligence are disrupting the world of business processes. Over the last decade, there has been steady progress towards the automation of business processes under the umbrella of "robotic process automation" (RPA). However, we are currently at an inflection point in this evolution, as a new paradigm called "Intelligent Process Automation" (IPA) emerges, bringing machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to bear in order to improve business process outcomes. The purpose of this paper is to provide a survey of this emerging theme and identify key open research challenges at the intersection of AI and business processes. We hope that this emerging theme will spark engaging conversations at the RPA Forum.
Ensuring the Robustness and Reliability of Data-Driven Knowledge Discovery Models in Production and Manufacturing
Tripathi, Shailesh, Muhr, David, Manuel, Brunner, Emmert-Streib, Frank, Jodlbauer, Herbert, Dehmer, Matthias
The implementation of robust, stable, and user-centered data analytics and machine learning models is confronted by numerous challenges in production and manufacturing. Therefore, a systematic approach is required to develop, evaluate, and deploy such models. The data-driven knowledge discovery framework provides an orderly partition of the data-mining processes to ensure the practical implementation of data analytics and machine learning models. However, the practical application of robust industry-specific data-driven knowledge discovery models faces multiple data-- and model-development--related issues. These issues should be carefully addressed by allowing a flexible, customized, and industry-specific knowledge discovery framework; in our case, this takes the form of the cross-industry standard process for data mining (CRISP-DM). This framework is designed to ensure active cooperation between different phases to adequately address data- and model-related issues. In this paper, we review several extensions of CRISP-DM models and various data-robustness-- and model-robustness--related problems in machine learning, which currently lacks proper cooperation between data experts and business experts because of the limitations of data-driven knowledge discovery models.
Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in Surgery
You cannot learn to play the piano by going to concerts. A compass [will] point you True North from where you're standing, but it's got no advice about the swamps and deserts and chasms that you'll encounter along the way. If in pursuit of your destination, you plunge ahead, heedless of obstacles, and achieve nothing more than to sink in a swamp... What's the use of knowing True North? The practice of surgery often forces unique ad hoc decisions based on contextual intricacies in the moment, which are not typically captured in broad, top-down, or committee-approved guidelines. Surgical ethics are principled, of course, but also pragmatic. They are also replete with moral contradictions and uncertainties; the introduction of novel technology into this environment can potentially increase those challenges. The essential element that distinguishes an ethical problem from a tragic situation is the element of choice." Moreover, choosing between options often involves identifying factors by which those options are not exactly equal, and the method one uses to weigh these factors can draw upon a set of ethical frameworks that, themselves, can be somewhat incongruous. At their core, artificial intelligence (AI) systems - and machine learning (ML) more specifically - are also designed to make choices, often by categorizing some input among a set of nominal categories. In the past, the choices these systems made could only be evaluated by their correctness - their accuracy in applying the same categorical labels that a human would to previously unseen inputs, like whether an image contains a tumour, or not.
A Review on Computational Intelligence Techniques in Cloud and Edge Computing
Asim, Muhammad, Wang, Yong, Wang, Kezhi, Huang, Pei-Qiu
Cloud computing (CC) is a centralized computing paradigm that accumulates resources centrally and provides these resources to users through Internet. Although CC holds a large number of resources, it may not be acceptable by real-time mobile applications, as it is usually far away from users geographically. On the other hand, edge computing (EC), which distributes resources to the network edge, enjoys increasing popularity in the applications with low-latency and high-reliability requirements. EC provides resources in a decentralized manner, which can respond to users' requirements faster than the normal CC, but with limited computing capacities. As both CC and EC are resource-sensitive, several big issues arise, such as how to conduct job scheduling, resource allocation, and task offloading, which significantly influence the performance of the whole system. To tackle these issues, many optimization problems have been formulated. These optimization problems usually have complex properties, such as non-convexity and NP-hardness, which may not be addressed by the traditional convex optimization-based solutions. Computational intelligence (CI), consisting of a set of nature-inspired computational approaches, recently exhibits great potential in addressing these optimization problems in CC and EC. This paper provides an overview of research problems in CC and EC and recent progresses in addressing them with the help of CI techniques. Informative discussions and future research trends are also presented, with the aim of offering insights to the readers and motivating new research directions.
Multi-way Graph Signal Processing on Tensors: Integrative analysis of irregular geometries
Stanley, Jay S. III, Chi, Eric C., Mishne, Gal
Graph signal processing (GSP) is an important methodology for studying data residing on irregular structures. As acquired data is increasingly taking the form of multi-way tensors, new signal processing tools are needed to maximally utilize the multi-way structure within the data. In this paper, we review modern signal processing frameworks generalizing GSP to multi-way data, starting from graph signals coupled to familiar regular axes such as time in sensor networks, and then extending to general graphs across all tensor modes. This widely applicable paradigm motivates reformulating and improving upon classical problems and approaches to creatively address the challenges in tensor-based data. We synthesize common themes arising from current efforts to combine GSP with tensor analysis and highlight future directions in extending GSP to the multi-way paradigm. Over the past decade, graph signal processing (GSP) [1] has laid the foundation for generalizing classical Fourier theory as defined on a regular grid, such as time, to handle signals on irregular structures, such as networks. GSP, however, is currently limited to single-way analysis: graph signals are processed independently of one another, thus ignoring the geometry between multiple graph signals. In the coming decade, generalizing GSP to handle multi-way data, represented by multidimensional arrays or tensors, with graphs underlying each axis of the data will be essential for modern signal processing. To introduce the concept of way, consider a network of N sensors each measuring a signal sampled at T time points. On the one hand, classic signal processing treats these signals as a collection of N independent 1D timeseries ignoring the relation structure of the graph. T. Both are single-way perspectives that ignore the underlying geometry of the other way (also referred to as mode).

The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) pandemic has caused significant strain on public health institutions around the world. Contact tracing is an essential tool to change the course of the Covid-19 pandemic. Manual contact tracing of Covid-19 cases has significant challenges that limit the ability of public health authorities to minimize community infections. Personalized peer-to-peer contact tracing through the use of mobile apps has the potential to shift the paradigm. Some countries have deployed centralized tracking systems, but more privacy-protecting decentralized systems offer much of the same benefit without concentrating data in the hands of a state authority or for-profit corporations. Machine learning methods can circumvent some of the limitations of standard digital tracing by incorporating many clues and their uncertainty into a more graded and precise estimation of infection risk. The estimated risk can provide early risk awareness, personalized recommendations and relevant information to the user. Finally, non-identifying risk data can inform epidemiological models trained jointly with the machine learning predictor. These models can provide statistical evidence for the importance of factors involved in disease transmission. They can also be used to monitor, evaluate and optimize health policy and (de)confinement scenarios according to medical and economic productivity indicators. However, such a strategy based on mobile apps and machine learning should proactively mitigate potential ethical and privacy risks, which could have substantial impacts on society (not only impacts on health but also impacts such as stigmatization and abuse of personal data). Here, we present an overview of the rationale, design, ethical considerations and privacy strategy of `COVI,' a Covid-19 public peer-to-peer contact tracing and risk awareness mobile application developed in Canada.

Winning With AI
After several decades of progress, AI technology is now poised to become a significant source of value for a wide range of businesses. In the 2019 MIT Sloan Management Review and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Artificial Intelligence Global Executive Study and Research Report, 9 out of 10 respondents agree that AI represents a business opportunity for their company. In addition, a growing number of leaders view AI as not just an opportunity but also a strategic risk: "What if competitors, particularly unencumbered new entrants, figure out AI before we do?" In 2019, 45% perceived some risk from AI, up from an already substantial 37% in 2017. This shift suggests an increasing awareness of and concern with competitors' use of AI.
