(2017) investigated the performance of naïve bayes, k-nearest neighbor, and logistic regression on highly skewed credit card fraud data. The study utilized a hybrid technique of under-sampling and oversampling on the dataset sourced from European cardholders. The results showed optimal accuracy for naïve bayes, k-nearest neighbor, and logistic regression classifiers, with k-nearest neighbor outperforming the other techniques. Varmedja et al. (2019) focused on the detection of credit card fraud using machine learning algorithms on a highly imbalanced dataset. The study employed the SMOTE technique for oversampling, feature selection, and split the dataset into training and test data. The algorithms tested included Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Naive Bayes, and Multilayer Perceptron, all of which showed high accuracy in detecting credit card fraud. Cherkaoui & En-Naimi (2023) proposed a machine learning-based approach to predict credit card fraud using various algorithms such as k-nearest neighbor, random forests, and isolation forests. The study also performed feature selection to identify important features contributing to fraud prediction. The results indicated that the machine learning approach effectively detected fraudulent transactions, offering a viable solution for banks and financial institutions to mitigate the risk of credit card fraud. Sri & Babu (2023) examined different machine learning models, including Random Forest, Decision Trees, and AdaBoost, for detecting credit card fraud. The evaluation metrics used in the study included accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC-ROC score. The research compared the performance of these algorithms and identified the best model for fraud detection based on the evaluation metrics. Ghosh et al.

The study focused on the application of supervised algorithms, such as Logistic Regression and K-Nearest Neighbors, as well as AutoEncoder and OCSVM models for fraud detection. Metrics like precision, recall, and F1-score were used to evaluate the models and select the optimal algorithm for credit card fraud detection. Overall, the literature review provides a comprehensive overview of the research conducted on machine learning algorithms for fraud detection in credit card transactions. The studies demonstrate the effectiveness of various algorithms in detecting fraudulent activities and offer valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in the field. Further research in this area can help enhance fraud detection systems and improve security measures in the financial industry. Fraud detection is a critical issue in various industries, especially in the financial sector, where the detection of fraudulent activities can save companies millions of dollars. With the advent of Big Data and the increasing complexity of fraudulent schemes, traditional methods of fraud detection are no longer sufficient. Machine learning algorithms have emerged as a powerful tool in detecting fraudulent transactions, offering the potential to analyze vast amounts of data quickly and accurately. In this literature review, we will explore the comparative analysis of machine learning algorithms for fraud detection based on the research papers provided by Menshchikov et al. (2022), de Zarzà et al. (2023), Padhi et al. (2022), Chaquet-Ulldemolins et al. (2022), and Alzahrani & Alenazi (2021). Menshchikov et al. (2022) address the fraud detection problem in the context of Big Data used in remote banking systems. The study aims to propose a new algorithm for automatic detection of fraudulent transactions using machine learning with high performance suitable for big data systems. The authors conduct an analysis of supervised and ensemble machine learning algorithms, comparing them based on metrics such as F1 score, AUC, and time consumption for training and classification. The results show that multilayer perceptron (MLP) and boosting methods (Adaptive, Gradient, XGBoost) exhibit high classification performance, with MLP outperforming boosting methods in terms of time consumption. Therefore, MLP is selected as the most appropriate algorithm for integration into the proposed Big Data architecture. In a similar vein, de Zarzà et al. (2023) focus on addressing imbalanced datasets in fraud detection, where fraudulent cases are vastly outnumbered by legitimate transactions. The study explores various supervised learning algorithms, including Gaussian Naive Bayes, K-nearest neighbors (K-NN), support vector machines (SVMs), decision trees, and multi-layer perceptron (MLP), to optimize performance on imbalanced datasets. The authors emphasize the use of resampling techniques such as oversampling and synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) to augment model performance on the minority class. The findings highlight the effectiveness of oversampling techniques in achieving high accuracy and low false negatives in fraud detection tasks. Padhi et al. (2022) propose a novel feature selection approach based on a metaheuristic algorithm called Rock Hyrax Swarm Optimization Feature Selection (RHSOFS) for credit card fraud transaction identification. The study compares RHSOFS with existing feature selection techniques such as Differential Evolutionary Feature Selection (DEFS), Genetic Algorithm Feature Selection (GAFS), Particle Swarm Optimization Feature Selection (PSOFS), and Ant Colony Optimization Feature Selection (ACOFS). The experimental results demonstrate that RHSOFS outperforms other approaches in selecting optimal relevant features from high-dimensional datasets, improving classification performance in fraud detection tasks. Chaquet-Ulldemolins et al. (2022) focus on creating a reliable and interpretable methodology for credit fraud detection using machine learning algorithms. The study utilizes state-of-the-art algorithms for feature selection and classification, such as gradient boosting, support vector machine, linear discriminant analysis, and linear regression. The proposed methodology incorporates feature selection techniques to reduce dimensionality and improve accuracy in fraud detection tasks, achieving a 76% accuracy rate in credit fraud detection. Lastly, Alzahrani & Alenazi (2021) explore the use of machine learning algorithms in a network intrusion detection system (NIDS) within a software-defined network (SDN) environment. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of tree-based machine learning techniques, including Decision Tree, Random Forest, and XGBoost, in detecting malicious behavior in network traffic. By utilizing advanced preprocessing techniques on the NSL-KDD dataset, the authors achieve an accuracy of 95.100% in classifying different types of attacks (DDoS, PROBE, R2L, U2R) in the network. In conclusion, the comparative analysis of machine learning algorithms for fraud detection presented in the research papers provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of different algorithms in detecting fraudulent activities. From the selection of optimal features to the application of advanced machine learning techniques, these studies offer innovative approaches to improving fraud detection systems in various domains. Researchers can leverage these findings to enhance their fraud detection methodologies and develop more robust and accurate systems for combating fraudulent activities. "
