Abstract
In this project, an artificial intelligence-based technique to detect fraud in Unified Payments Interface (UPI) networks to ensure that users’ transactions are protected is described. With the increased popularity of online payments, there is the need to detect such frauds in real-time to minimize any loss and increase the safety of consumers. Data used in this research are obtained and pre-processed to make sure the data does not contain any noise or null values, thus ensuring data accuracy. Various features associated with such transactions are identified and utilized to classify them. Using the identified features, a classifier using random forest algorithm is built and used to distinguish between fraudulent and non-fraudulent transactions. The random forest model enhances the performance of the classifier by using more than one decision tree hence improving prediction accuracy and avoiding overfitting. The proposed method can detect frauds in real- time hence helping to reduce the associated costs.
