Published: May 2015

This paper proposes an intelligent credit card fraud detection model for detecting fraud from highly imbalanced and anonymous credit card transaction datasets. The class imbalance problem is handled by finding legal as well as fraud transaction patterns for each customer by using frequent itemset mining. A matching algorithm is also proposed to find to which pattern (legal or fraud) the incoming transaction of a particular customer is closer and a decision is made accordingly. In order to handle the anonymous nature of the data, no preference is given to any of the attributes and each attribute is considered equally for finding the patterns. The performance evaluation of the proposed model is done on UCSD Data Mining Contest 2009 Dataset (anonymous and imbalanced) and it is found that the proposed model has very high fraud detection rate, balanced classification rate, Matthews correlation coefficient, and very less false alarm rate than other state-of-the-art classifiers.

Online financial transactions bring convenience to people's lives, but also present vulnerabilities for criminals to embezzle users' accounts and trick users into credit card fraud. Although machine learning methods have been adopted to detect anomalous transactions, it's hard for a single machine learning method to achieve satisfying results with the increasing scale and dimensionality of financial datasets. In addition, for anomaly detection of financial data, there is an obvious imbalance between normal records and abnormal.

Ewing sarcoma is a very common type of malignant bone tumor among children and adolescents that most frequently develops in long bones of the body and extremities; however, it can also affect other bones such as the skull and scapula in rare cases. In Ewing sarcoma, the most common sites of metastasis are the lungs and bones, which indicates a late stage of the disease and is considered a poor prognostic factor. In this paper, we report the case of a 10-year-old boy presenting with a painless swelling on his left shoulder that was not associated with other local or systemic symptoms, and with no neurological manifestations.
