Express Analytics For Fraud Management
Thursday, 4:45 - 5:45
Scott Zoldi, Analytic Science, Fair Isaac
Steven Wu, Analytic Science, Fair Isaac

One of the most recent innovations in predictive analytics for telecommunications is an online, self-calibrating model that adapts in real-time to the operational fraud environment. This analytic technique overcomes challenges to other modeling solutions: It can be deployed quickly, it can target new patterns for which historical examples do not exist, and it does not require frequent maintenance cycles. Learn how express analytics can be build on your use of predictive analytics, and how real-time adjustments to your environment can result in more accurate and effective fraud detection.
