Abstract

Sequence models are vastly used in our daily routine, enabling numerous exciting applications in speech recognition, music synthesis, chatbots, machine translation, natural language understanding, and many more. But can we utilize sequence information to represent behavior?

 

In this poster, I will describe how we represented models’ predictions as sequential information and leveraged sequence modeling to detect and automatically mitigate merchants with risky modus operandi. I’ll present the various models we have considered, starting with TFIDF, Doc2Vec, followed by LSTM and 1D CNN and we’ll discuss the pros and cons in each approach.
