Credit Card Fraud Detection Using Spectral Clustering

PyImageSearch

Supervised Learning These methods require labeled data to train the model. The model learns to distinguish between normal and abnormal data points. For example, in fraud detection, SVM (support vector machine) can classify transactions as fraudulent or non-fraudulent based on historically labeled data.
