An Intelligent Decision Support Systems for Financial Fraud Detection Using Pythagorean Neutrosophic Bonferroni Mean Approach with Machine Learning Models

Neutrosophy has developed as a generalization to fuzzy logic and is being employed in the research field in many areas such as set theory, logic, and others. Neutrosophic Logic is one of the neonate study regions and its intention is assessed to have the percentage of truth in a subset T, the percentage of falsity in a subset F, and the percentage of indeterminacy in a subset I. Recently, financial fraud has become a highly major issue, which results in severe consequences across firm sectors and affects people’s everyday lives. Therefore, financial fraud recognition is critical for the prevention of the regularly overwhelming effects of financial fraud. It includes differentiating fraudulent financial data from accurate data and permitting decision-makers to progress suitable plans to reduce the effect of fraud. Over the past few years, Artificial intelligence (AI), mainly machine learning (ML) systems, turned out to be the highest thriving model in fraud detection. This study presents a novel Intelligent Decision Support System for Financial Fraud Detection Using Pythagorean Neutrosophic Bonferroni Mean (IDSSFFD-PNBM) model. The main intention of the IDSSFFD-PNBM algorithm is to enrich the detection model for financial fraud using advanced optimization models. Initially, the z-score normalization is applied in the data normalization stage for converting input data into a beneficial format. Besides, the proposed IDSSFFD-PNBM designs a grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) for the selection of feature processes to enhance the efficiency and performance of the model. For the detection and classification procedure, the pythagorean neutrosophic bonferroni mean (PNBM) model has been employed. Additionally, the firefly optimization algorithm (FFOA)-based hyperparameter range method has been done to heighten the recognition outcomes of the PNBM system. The experimental evaluation of the IDSSFFD-PNBM technique takes place using a benchmark dataset. The experimental results indicated an enhanced performance of the IDSSFFD-PNBM technique compared to recent approaches
