Connectionists: [jobs] 1 PhD position at the University of Amsterdam in Causality-inspired ML for Robust Fraud Detection

[Sara Magliacane]

Are you interested in a PhD position applying ideas from causality to
improve the robustness of fraud detection for transaction payments?

At the University of Amsterdam, we have just opened 1 PhD position in
*causality-inspired
ML for robust fraud detection*. Payment platforms like Adyen use technology
to efficiently detect fraud. Fraud detection is challenging, since both the
genuine and fraudulent customer behavior changes over time and across
markets. Machine learning is crucial for this task, but current methods are
susceptible to learning spurious correlations.  The goal of this project is
to leverage causality-inspired machine learning methods to improve the
robustness of fraud detection methods to distribution shifts. This position
will be supervised by dr. Sara Magliacane
<https://saramagliacane.github.io/> (Amsterdam Machine Learning Lab
<http://amlab.science.uva.nl/>, Informatics Institute) and dr. Ana Mićković
<https://www.linkedin.com/in/ana-mi%C4%87kovi%C4%87-ab666664/> (Amsterdam
Business School), and in partnership with Adyen <https://www.adyen.com/>.

This project is part of a bigger *AI4Fintech* call with 7 PhD positions
with a unified application submission.
In the submission please indicate your interest for *project 4: Robust
fraud detection through causality-inspired ML.*
