Improving electric fraud detection using class imbalance strategies

Di Martino, Matías - Decia, Federico - Molinelli, Juan - Fernández, Alicia

Resumen:

Improving nontechnical loss detection is a huge challenge for electric companies. The great number of clients and the diversity of the different types of fraud makes this a very complex task. In this paper we present a fraud detection strategy based on class imbalance research. An automatic detection tool combining classification strategies is proposed. Individual classifiers such as One Class SVM, Cost Sensitive SVM (CS-SVM), Optimum Path Forest (OPF) and C4.5 Tree, and combination functions are designed taken special care in the data s class imbalance nature. Analysis over consumers historical kWh load profile data from Uruguayan Electric Company (UTE) shows that using combination and balancing techniques improves automatic detection performance.
