Credit Risk Assessment Using a Combined Approach of Supervised and Unsupervised Learning
In the financial industry, credit scoring is a crucial tool for assessing credit risk. The study aims to enhance the accuracy and reliability of credit scoring by combining supervised and unsupervised learning methods. We propose an integrated model that combines Kohonen's Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) with the Random Forest algorithm to provide a more comprehensive analysis of credit card user data. Key features for model training were identified through feature selection and extraction. Experimental results show that the integrated model improved the AUC from 0.82 to 0.89, increased user satisfaction from a score of 3.8 to 4.35, and boosted usage rates by 12.5%. Additionally, the integrated model significantly enhanced the discrimination and prediction accuracy of user credit risk. These findings indicate that the combination of unsupervised learning with Kohonen's Self-Organizing Maps and supervised learning with Random Forest can effectively improve the accuracy of credit scoring, providing financial institutions with a more reliable tool for credit risk assessment.
