The study investigates whether Large Language Models (LLMs) can translate technical explanations from credit risk models into stakeholder-friendly narratives. Using Freddie Mac loan data, the authors compare standard tabular models (XGBoost + SHAP) with alternative data pipelines (GNN + GNNExplainer and a bimodal mix) and generate explanations with three LLM configurations: a small fine‑tuned Gemma 3 4B, a large fine‑tuned DeepSeek R1 70B, and a zero‑shot Gemini 2.5. Findings show that the quality of explanations is more dependent on the evidence representation than on the LLM, that narratives reliably identify influential factors but are less consistent about the direction of influence, and that credit professionals demand higher evidentiary standards than non‑professionals.

The paper presents a cumulative turn‑based risk assessment framework for detecting financial scams targeting older adults, which aggregates conversational turns and updates risk estimates at each step. A multi‑turn dialogue dataset covering investment, charity, and tech support scams is created, with annotations for risk level, score, rationale, and safety recommendation at every cumulative stage. Four small language models (Phi‑4, LLaMA‑3.2, DeepSeek‑R1, Qwen3) are fine‑tuned; Phi‑4 and LLaMA‑3.2 outperform others in turn‑aware risk estimation, demonstrating that compact models can effectively support incremental scam detection in resource‑constrained, privacy‑aware deployments.

arXiv:2607. 23075v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Detecting fake-order fraud at scale remains a critical challenge for large online-to-offline (O2O) service platforms, as existing approaches often rely on expert-designed features, produce black-box decisions, and provide limited interpretability.
