Detecting Telecommunication Fraud using Neural Networks through Data Mining

Abstract

Abstract--- Neural computing refers to a pattern recognition methodology for machine learning. The resulting model from neural computing is often called an artificial neural network (ANN) or a neural network. Neural networks have been used in many business applications for pattern recognition, forecasting, prediction and classification. Neural network computing is a key component for any data mining tool kit. Applications of neural network based data mining tools are abound in finance, marketing, manufacturing, information systems and so on. This essay discusses in detail the role of artificial neural networks in prevention of telecommunication fraud.
