Veuillez décrire le projet.: 

At Mastercard we work with improving and securing payments of millions of cardholders and merchants. One of the primary objectives of our work is to detect and prevent fraudulent payments. There are several ways of committing such fraud, often such fraud can happen due to vulnerability of the Merchant to such fraudulent threats and several other underlying factors. The first objective of this project is to get an understanding of what attributes are necessary for modelling this kind of a threat to our cardholders, then follow up with advanced modelling techniques like Deep Metric Learning to create an embedding space specific to every kind of fraud. We will leverage graphs to create this embedding space, either by adding more features from a graph represented by merchants and cards, or by populating a graph after the embedding space is learnt, in which case this final graph will provide a lot of answers to questions regarding the respective fraud. On a more technical side this project will be at the intersection of graphs and Deep Metric learning and we would like to propose a new paradigm of machine learning combining these two powerful techniques which have been proven to provide benchmark results in a lot of real world applications.
