For financial institutions, the ability to predict or forecast business failures is crucial, as incorrect decisions can have direct financial consequences. Credit prediction and credit scoring are the two major research problems in the accounting and finance domain. A variety of pattern recognition techniques including neural networks, decision trees and support vector machines have been applied to predict whether borrowers are in danger of bankruptcy and whether they should be considered a good or bad credit risk.
In this paper a clustering and unsupervised method named Self Organizing Map (SOM) is used. We propose to label each cluster with voted method and improve labeling process by training a feedforward Neural Network (NN). The approach uses transfer of learning via SOM to the NN, is tested on the Australian Credit Approval financial data set. We compare both approaches and we will discuss which one is the best prediction model for financial data.
