Assess LLMs for fraud detection
LLMs in Fraud Detection: Near-Term vs. Long-Term Roles
You are designing fraud detection for a large-scale digital payments platform with the following characteristics:
- Real-time transaction scoring requiring sub-100 ms p95 latency and high availability.
- Multiple data sources: structured transaction/device/network signals; unstructured text (support chats, claims, merchant descriptions, KYC docs, emails); and semi-structured logs.
- A human review workflow for escalations and investigations.
Your task is to:
- Compare large language models (LLMs) to traditional supervised models for fraud detection across several dimensions:
- Data modalities unlocked (text, logs, documents)
- Feature engineering vs. representation learning
- Accuracy (new pattern discovery vs. steady-state classification)
- Latency and cost
- Interpretability and governance
- Robustness to adaptive adversaries
- Privacy/compliance
- Lifecycle operations (training, deployment, monitoring, updates)
- Describe the near-term and long-term roles LLMs should play in this stack.
- Propose a hybrid architecture that integrates LLMs and traditional models to balance accuracy, latency, cost, and risk.
- Propose an evaluation plan (offline and online) to justify adoption, including metrics, ablations, cost/latency modeling, and risk controls.
