A Comprehensible SOM-Based Scoring System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The significant growth of consumer credit has resulted in a wide range of statistical and non-statistical methods for classifying applicants in ‘good’ and ‘bad’ risk categories. Traditionally, (logistic) regression used to be one of the most popular methods for this task, but recently some newer techniques like neural networks and support vector machines have shown excellent classification performance. Selforganizing maps (SOMs) have existed for decades and although they have been used in various application areas, only little research has been done to investigate their appropriateness for credit scoring. In this paper, it is shown how a trained SOM can be used for classification and how the basic SOM-algorithm can be integrated with supervised techniques like the multi-layered perceptron. Classification accuracy of the models is benchmarked with results reported previously.

Digital image libraries are becoming more common and widely used as more visual information is produced at a rapidly growing rate. Content-based image retrieval is an important approach to the problem of processing this increasing amount of data. It is based on automatically extracted features from the content of the images, such as color, texture, shape, and structure. We have started a projec...
متن کاملClassification Restricted Boltzmann Machine for comprehensible credit scoring model
Credit scoring is the assessment of the risk associated with a consumer (an organization or an individual) that apply for the credit. Therefore, the problem of credit scoring can be stated as a discrimination between those applicants whom the lender is confident will repay credit and those applicants who are considered by the lender as insufficiently reliable. In this work we propose a novel me...

Group tourism is one of the most important tasks in tourist recommender systems. These systems, despite of the potential contradictions among the group's tastes, seek to provide joint suggestions to all members of the group, and propose recommendations that would allow the satisfaction of a group of users rather than individual user satisfaction. Another issue that has received less attention i...
