Abstract

Internet loan business has received extensive attentions recently. How to provide lenders with accurate credit scoring profiles of borrowers becomes a challenge due to the tremendous amount of loan requests and the limited information of borrowers. However, existing approaches are not suitable to Internet loan business due to the unique features of individual credit data. In this paper, we propose a unified data mining framework consisting of feature transformation, feature selection and hybrid model to solve the above challenges. Extensive experiment results on realistic datasets show that our proposed framework is an effective solution.
