Machine Learning for Credit Card Fraud
Detection - Practical Handbook
Early access
Preliminary version available at https://fraud-detection-handbook.github.io/fraud-detection-
handbook/Foreword.html.
Motivations
Machine learning for credit card fraud detection (ML for CCFD) has become an active
research field. This is illustrated by the remarkable amount of publications on the topic in the
last decade.
It makes no doubt that the integration of machine learning techniques in payment card fraud
detection systems has greatly improved their ability to more efficiently detect frauds. At the
same time, a major issue in this new research field is the lack of reproducibility. There do not
exist any recognized benchmarks, nor methodologies, to compare and assess the proposed
techniques.
This book aims at making a first step in this direction. All the techniques and results provided
in this book are reproducible. Sections that include code are Jupyter notebooks, which can be
executed either locally, or on the cloud using Google Colab or Binder.
The intended audience is students or professionals, interested in the specific problem of
credit card fraud detection from a practical point of view. More generally, we think the book
is also of interest for data practitioners and data scientists dealing with machine learning
problems that involve sequential data and/or imbalanced classification problems.

Current draft
The writing of the book is ongoing. We provide through this Github repository an early
access to the book. As of May 2021, the first five chapters are made available. They aim at
providing a state-of-the-art background to the topic, and a baseline methodology for
addressing the problem.
The online version of the current draft of this book is available here.
Any comment or suggestion is welcome. We recommend using Github issues to start a
discussion on a topic, and to use pull requests for fixing typos.
Compiling the book
In order to read and/or execute this book on your computer, you will need to clone this
repository and compile the book.
This book is a Jupyter book. You will therefore first need to install Jupyter Book.
The compilation was tested with the following package versions:
sphinxcontrib-bibtex==2.1.4
Sphinx==3.5.2
jupyter-book==0.10.2
Once done, this is a two-step process:
1. Clone this repository:
https://github.com/peggy1502/fraud-detection-handbook 3/5
1/10/25, 3:04 PM GitHub - peggy1502/fraud-detection-handbook: Machine Learning for Credit Card Fraud Detection - Practical Handbook
git clone https://github.com/Fraud-Detection-Handbook/fraud-detection-handbook
2. Compile the book
jupyter-book build fraud-detection-handbook
The book will be available locally at fraud-detection-handbook/_build/html/index.html .
