My 5 year old son is crazy about Lego. He taught me there are multiple ways to connect two Lego bricks. This made me realize that this approach can be applied to my work as a data scientist
Using Lego, I will explore how different data points can be connected and combined to build a robust model for improving fraud detection in e-commerce using machine learning, which is what we do at Riskified.
For example, addresses can be connected and combined by geographical distance or by textual similarity, which gives us a hybrid approach for improving our models.
By the end of this talk, you will gain an understanding of how hybrid techniques can improve the performance of predictive models and build your own hybrid lego model.
