文摘This paper proposes a novel hybrid fraud detection framework that integrates multi-stage feature selection,unsupervised clustering,and ensemble learning to improve classification performance in financial transaction monitoring systems.The framework is structured into three core layers:(1)feature selection using Recursive Feature Elimination(RFE),Principal Component Analysis(PCA),and Mutual Information(MI)to reduce dimensionality and enhance input relevance;(2)anomaly detection through unsupervised clustering using K-Means,Density-Based Spatial Clustering(DBSCAN),and Hierarchical Clustering to flag suspicious patterns in unlabeled data;and(3)final classification using a voting-based hybrid ensemble of Support Vector Machine(SVM),Random Forest(RF),and Gradient Boosting Classifier(GBC).The experimental evaluation is conducted on a synthetically generated dataset comprising one million financial transactions,with 5% labelled as fraudulent,simulating realistic fraud rates and behavioural features,including transaction time,origin,amount,and geo-location.The proposed model demonstrated a significant improvement over baseline classifiers,achieving an accuracy of 99%,a precision of 99%,a recall of 97%,and an F1-score of 99%.Compared to individual models,it yielded a 9% gain in overall detection accuracy.It reduced the false positive rate to below 3.5%,thereby minimising the operational costs associated with manually reviewing false alerts.The model’s interpretability is enhanced by the integration of Shapley Additive Explanations(SHAP)values for feature importance,supporting transparency and regulatory auditability.These results affirm the practical relevance of the proposed system for deployment in real-time fraud detection scenarios such as credit card transactions,mobile banking,and cross-border payments.The study also highlights future directions,including the deployment of lightweight models and the integration of multimodal data for scalable fraud analytics.
文摘Low data encryption efficiency and inadequate security are two issues with the current blockchain cross-chain transaction protection schemes.To address these issues,a blockchain cross-chain transaction protection scheme based on Fully Homomorphic Encryption(FHE)is proposed.In the proposed scheme,the functional relationship is established by Box-Muller,Discrete Gaussian Distribution Function(DGDF)and Uniform Random Distribution Func-tion(URDF)are used to improve the security and efficiency of key generation.Subsequently,the data preprocessing function is introduced to perform cleaning,deduplication,and normalization operations on the transaction data of multi-key signature,and it is classified into interactive data and asset data,so as to perform different homomorphic operations in the FHE encryption stage.Ultimately,in the FHE encryption stage,homomorphic multiplication and homomorphic addition are used targeted for the interactive data and asset data,thereby reducing the computational complexity and enhancing the FHE encryption efficiency.The significance of the proposed scheme is proved by experimental results:Firstly,the multi-key generation function and its specific sampling method and transformation ensure the security and efficiency of key generation.Data preprocessing can also accelerate the FHE encryption process by eliminating invalid data and redundancy,so the FHE encryption efficiency is significantly improved.Secondly,the FHE encryption method based on discrete logarithm problem enhances the security of transaction data and can effectively resist multiple attacks.In addition,the preprocessed data also has good performance in capacity storage.The proposed scheme has significant impacts on key indicators such as encryption efficiency and security,it provides a new reference for blockchain cross-chain transaction protection technology and has an important impact on the security improvement of various cross-chain transaction data.

文摘The task of detecting fraud in credit card transactions is crucial to ensure the security and stability of a financial system,as well as to enforce customer confidence in digital payment systems.Historically,credit card companies have used rulebased approaches to detect fraudulent transactions,but these have proven inadequate due to the complexity of fraud strategies and have been replaced by much more powerful solutions based on machine learning or deep learning algorithms.Despite significant progress,the current approaches to fraud detection suffer from a number of limitations:for example,it is unclear whether some transaction features are more effective than others in discriminating fraudulent transactions,and they often neglect possible correlations among transactions,even though they could reveal illicit behaviour.In this paper,we propose a novel credit card fraud detection(CCFD)method based on a transaction behaviour-based hierarchical gated network.First,we introduce a feature-oriented extraction module capable of identifying key features from original transactions,and such analysis is effective in revealing the behavioural characteristics of fraudsters.Second,we design a transaction-oriented extraction module capable of capturing the correlation between users’historical and current transactional behaviour.Such information is crucial for revealing users’sequential behaviour patterns.Our approach,called transactional-behaviour-based hierarchical gated network model(TbHGN),extracts two types of new transactional features,which are then combined in a feature interaction module to learn the final transactional representations used for CCFD.We have conducted extensive experiments on a real-world credit card transaction dataset with an increase in average F1 between 1.42%and 6.53%and an improvement in average AUC between 0.63%and 2.78%over the state of the art.

文摘In the wake of major natural disasters or human-made disasters,the communication infrastruc-ture within disaster-stricken areas is frequently dam-aged.Unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs),thanks to their merits such as rapid deployment and high mobil-ity,are commonly regarded as an ideal option for con-structing temporary communication networks.Con-sidering the limited computing capability and battery power of UAVs,this paper proposes a two-layer UAV cooperative computing offloading strategy for emer-gency disaster relief scenarios.The multi-agent twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient(MATD3)algorithm integrated with prioritized experience replay(PER)is utilized to jointly optimize the scheduling strategies of UAVs,task offloading ratios,and their mobility,aiming to diminish the energy consumption and delay of the system to the minimum.In order to address the aforementioned non-convex optimiza-tion issue,a Markov decision process(MDP)has been established.The results of simulation experiments demonstrate that,compared with the other four base-line algorithms,the algorithm introduced in this paper exhibits better convergence performance,verifying its feasibility and efficacy.

文摘Based on the synchronous joint gravity and magnetic inversion of single interface by Pilkington and the need of revealing Cenozoic and crystalline basement thickness in the new round of oil-gas exploration, we propose a joint gravity and magnetic inversion methodfor two-layer models by concentrating on the relationship between the change of thicknessI and position of the middle layer and anomaly and discuss the effects of the key parameters. Model tests and application to field data show the validity of this method.
文摘In CSCW system, there are many long-time, cooperative, interactive transactions. Traditional transaction model and advanced transaction model do not effectively support transaction processing in CSCW system. In this paper, a semantics-based cooperative transaction model(SCTM) is put forward. This model is based on the semantics information of cooperative process and data objects, and can satisfy the demands of transaction processing in CSCW system.
文摘A model is proposed to evaluate the,effective modufi of a composite reinforced by two-layered spherical inclusions.This model is based on the localisation problem of a two- layered spherical inclusion embedded in an infinite matrix.The interations of the reinforced phases are taken into account by using the average matrix stress concept.When the external layer vanishes,the proposed model reduces to the classical Mori-Tanaka's model for spherical inclusions.Theoretical results for the composite of polyester matrix filled by hollow glass spheres and voids show excellent agreement with experimental results.
