DTD-VAE: Disentangled Temporal Dependencies VAE for Credit Risk Prediction

The paper introduces DTD‑VAE, a Variational Autoencoder that disentangles temporal dependencies to better predict credit risk. It uses an autoregressive feature inference module to capture temporal patterns among latent variables and an element‑wise gating mechanism in the generative module to assign independent weights to each latent dimension, especially those relevant to credit risk. Experiments on six real‑world datasets show the model outperforms existing methods, improving ROC‑AUC by 3.2%–4.86% and Accuracy Ratio by 6.41%–9.71%.

A Decision-Support Audit Protocol for Supervision Drift in Proxy-Labeled Credit-Risk Prediction

The paper presents a locked, multi‑signal audit protocol designed to detect supervision drift in credit‑risk models that use proxy labels. It comprises five layers—transfer performance, an oracle‑gap probe, a calibration diagnostic, feature‑label stability, and a synthetic positive control—each with predefined thresholds and decision rules. Applied to a public LendingClub dataset, the protocol shows stable ranking, small oracle gaps, and identifies a prevalence and probability‑scale mismatch that recalibration largely mitigates, though its root cause remains unclear.
