I Trained Six Models for Fraud Detection, and the Best One Isn't in Production

Read the original on Towards Data Science →

The article recounts a final‑year project in which the author trained six different models for fraud detection. It highlights the discrepancy between the model that performed best on evaluation metrics and the one that was ultimately chosen for production. The piece reflects on how real‑world constraints can override purely statistical performance.

Your Six AI Models Are Really Two: The Math of Correlated Mistakes

The article explains that when multiple AI models are asked the same question and their answers are aggregated by voting, the resulting opinions are often less independent than the number of models suggests. It presents a formula that estimates the effective number of independent models and validates this with six open models evaluated on 1,500 exam questions.

The Model Validation Playbook for GenAI: Lessons from Banking

The article discusses how model validation standards are evolving for large language model (LLM) based systems, particularly in the banking sector. It examines what aspects of traditional validation break down, what elements remain applicable, and how to effectively test the quality of LLM outputs. The piece offers practical insights into adapting validation playbooks for generative AI applications.
