Fraud Type Decomposition and the Observation-Mechanism Taxonomy:Class-Specific Detection Limits in Payment Networks

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.31257v1 Announce Type: new Fraud detection in payment networks relies on labels generated through heterogeneous and imperfect observation processes, yet existing approaches treat fraud as a homogeneous binary variable. We show that this assumption is structurally incorrect and leads to provable inefficiency. We
