Abstract

This paper applies machine learning (ML) techniques including neural networks, support vector machines Random Forest, and Adaboost to detecting insider fraud in restaurant point-of-sales data. With considerable engineering of the features, and by applying under-sampling techniques we show that ML techniques deliver very high fraud-detection performance. In particular, RandomForest can achieve 91% or better across all metrics when using a model trained on one restaurant to detect fraud in a separate restaurant. However, there must be sufficient fraud samples in the model for this to occur. Knowledge and techniques from this research could be used to develop a low-cost product to automate fraud detection for restaurant owners.
