SADEM: An Effective Supervised Anomaly Detection Ensemble Model for Alert Account Detection.

Anomaly detection has been an important research topic for a long time and has been applied to many real-world applications. However, due to the high cost of manually getting the instance label, researchers mostly resort to unsupervised or semi-supervised learning approaches. The supervised learning method has rarely been used in anomaly detection tasks. In this paper, we proposed a supervised learning ensemble method to detect alert accounts among transaction data. We solve the problem of low-confident predictions when the anomalies reside within normal data points. The ensemble model comprises the LightGBM and Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) to synergize machine learning and neural network models. The proposed model preserves the result of high-confident predictions and improves the performance of low-confident predictions with the new features generated from encoding the leaf node of GBDT (Gradient Boosting Decision Tree). Our experiments on a real-world dataset show the effectiveness of the model when compared with the state-of-the-art methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
