Credit-Card-Fraud-Detection

Credit Card Fraud Detection is a crucial machine learning project with profound implications. It aims to safeguard financial transactions by identifying fraudulent activities. Leveraging advanced algorithms and historical transaction data, this project analyzes patterns and anomalies in credit card usage.

Description

Welcome to the Credit Card Fraud Detection project, where we employ cutting-edge machine learning techniques to address one of the most critical challenges in the financial industry - detecting fraudulent credit card transactions. This project is dedicated to enhancing the security of financial transactions by developing a robust system that can automatically identify and flag potentially fraudulent activities.

Dataset

The dataset used in this project is named "creditcard.csv." This dataset is a critical resource for Credit Card Fraud Detection. It contains transaction data, encompassing both legitimate and fraudulent credit card transactions. The 'creditcard.csv' dataset is utilized for data preprocessing, model training, and evaluation within the project. It plays a pivotal role in enhancing financial security by automating the detection of fraudulent credit card transactions.

Project Highlights
