Credit Card Fraud Detection Dataset (European Cardholders, September 2013)

As a data contributor, I'm sharing this crucial dataset focused on the detection of fraudulent credit card transactions. Recognizing these illicit activities is paramount for protecting customers and the integrity of financial systems.

About the Dataset:

This dataset encompasses credit card transactions made by European cardholders during a two-day period in September 2013. It presents a real-world scenario with a significant class imbalance, where fraudulent transactions are considerably less frequent than legitimate ones. Out of a total of 284,807 transactions, only 492 are instances of fraud, representing a mere 0.172% of the entire dataset.

Content of the Data:

Due to confidentiality concerns, the majority of the input features in this dataset have undergone a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) transformation. This means the original meaning and context of features V1, V2, ..., V28 are not directly provided. However, these principal components capture the variance in the underlying transaction data.

The only features that have not been transformed by PCA are:

• Time: Numerical. Represents the number of seconds elapsed between each transaction and the very first transaction recorded in the dataset.
• Amount: Numerical. The transaction amount in Euros (€). This feature could be valuable for cost-sensitive learning approaches.

The target variable for this classification task is:

• Class: Integer. Takes the value 1 in the case of a fraudulent transaction and 0 otherwise.

Important Note on Evaluation:

Given the substantial class imbalance (far more legitimate transactions than fraudulent ones), traditional accuracy metrics based on the confusion matrix can be misleading. It is strongly recommended to evaluate models using the Area Under the Precision-Recall Curve (AUPRC), as this metric is more sensitive to the performance on the minority class (fraudulent transactions).

How to Use This Dataset:

1. Download the dataset file (likely in CSV format).
2. Load the data using libraries like Pandas.
3. Understand the class imbalance: Be aware that fraudulent transactions are rare.
4. Explore the features: Analyze the distributions of 'Time', 'Amount', and the PCA-transformed features (V1-V28).
5. Address the class imbalance: Consider using techniques like oversampling the minority class, undersampling the majority class, or using specialized algorithms designed for imbalanced datasets.
6. Build and train binary classification models to predict the 'Class' variable.
7. Evaluate your models using AUPRC to get a meaningful assessment of performance in detecting fraud.

Research Domain
This work resides in the domain of financial fraud detection and applied machine learning. We focus on detecting anomalous credit‐card transactions in real time to reduce financial losses and improve trust in digital payment systems.

Purpose
The goal is to train and evaluate a binary classification model that flags potentially fraudulent transactions. By publishing both the code and data splits via FAIR repositories, we enable reproducible benchmarking of fraud‐detection algorithms and support future research on anomaly detection in transaction data.

Data Sources
We used the publicly available credit‐card transaction dataset from Kaggle (original source: https://www.kaggle.com/mlg-ulb/creditcardfraud), which contains anonymized transactions made by European cardholders over two days in September 2013. The dataset includes 284 807 transactions, of which 492 are fraudulent.

Method of Dataset Preparation

1. Schema validation: Renamed columns to snake_case (e.g. transaction_amount, is_declined) so they conform to DBRepo’s requirements.

2. Data import: Uploaded the full CSV into DBRepo, assigned persistent identifiers (PIDs).

3. Splitting: Programmatically derived three subsets—training (70%), validation (15%), test (15%)—using range‐based filters on the primary key actionnr. Each subset was materialized in DBRepo and assigned its own PID for precise citation.

4. Cleaning: Converted the categorical flags (is_declined, isforeigntransaction, ishighriskcountry, isfradulent) from “Y”/“N” to 1/0 and dropped non‐feature identifiers (actionnr, merchant_id).

5. Modeling: Trained a RandomForest classifier on the training split, tuned on validation, and evaluated on the held‐out test set.

Credit card fraud can lead to significant financial losses for both individuals and financial institutions. In this paper, we propose a novel method called CTCN, which uses Conditional Tabular Generative Adversarial Networks (CTGAN) and Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) for credit card fraud detection. Our approach includes an oversampling algorithm that uses CTGAN to balance the dataset, and Neighborhood Cleaning Rule (NCL) to filter out majority class samples that overlap with the minority class. We generate synthetic minority class samples that conform to the original data distribution, resulting in a balanced dataset. We then employ TCN to analyze transaction sequences and capture long-term dependencies between data, revealing potential relationships between transaction sequences, thus achieving accurate credit card fraud detection. Experiments on three public datasets demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms current machine learning and deep learning methods, as measured by recall, F1-Score, and AUC-ROC.
