Introduction
Fraud detection in credit card transactions is a critical issue in the financial industry. With the increasing prevalence of online transactions, the risk of fraudulent activities has also risen. Traditional rule-based methods have proven to be insufficient in detecting sophisticated fraud patterns. Machine learning, on the other hand, has emerged as a powerful tool in fraud detection due to its ability to process large amounts of data and identify complex patterns. This thesis aims to explore the influence of machine learning on fraud detection in credit card transactions.

Thesis Overview: The Influence of Machine Learning on Fraud Detection in Credit Card Transactions
The financial industry faces a growing challenge in detecting and preventing fraudulent activities in credit card transactions. Traditional rule-based methods have limitations in identifying sophisticated fraud patterns, leading to significant financial losses for both financial institutions and consumers. Machine learning has emerged as a powerful tool in fraud detection, offering the potential to process vast amounts of data and uncover complex fraud schemes.
This thesis aims to explore the influence of machine learning on fraud detection in credit card transactions. The study will review the existing literature on fraud detection methods, with a focus on traditional approaches and the application of machine learning techniques. The research methodology will encompass data collection, preprocessing, feature selection, model selection, and performance evaluation.
The findings of this study will provide insights into the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms in detecting credit card fraud and offer recommendations for improving fraud detection practices. The conclusions drawn from this research will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on fraud detection and provide guidance for future research in this area.
