Like a child teaching itself to recognize dangerous animals: Machine learning and fraud prevention · TechNode

Describing how his company's fraud prediction system is like an unaccompanied child visiting a zoo, is when Wally Wang becomes the most animated… and the unsupervised machine-learning approach starts to make sense: "There's no mom to teach a child what a tiger is. The child by intelligence will automatically get the point of how to recognize a tiger or a goose. The connection will be built by the child. That's how the AI part plays here, the algorithm does the detection… We build up a model, making the child more intelligent, to be able to tell automatically when an animal is evolving into another species."
