Abstract

While the insurance industry is growing quickly, it is also facing a growing fraud problem, which poses a threat to the operations and stability of insurance companies. This article proposes a machine learning-based approach aimed at identifying and preventing fraud in auto insurance. The method improves the accuracy through feature selection, sample equalization and model optimization. A new index is also proposed to measure the stability of the prediction algorithm. The experiment shows that compared with the existing methods, the method proposed in this paper promotes the accuracy of detecting fraud behavior, and the stability of the algorithm is improved. The proposal of this method can help to better protect the insurance companies from fraud and ensure the stable development of their business.
