Hybrid Neuro-Symbolic Fraud Detection: Guiding Neural Networks with Domain Rules
I really thought I was onto something big: add a couple of simple domain rules to the loss function, and watch fraud detection just skyrocket on super-imbalanced data. The first run looked amazing… until I fixed a sneaky threshold bug and ran the whole thing across five different random seeds. Sudde...
Building a Like-for-Like solution for Stores in Power BI
Like-for-Like (L4L) solutions are essential for comparing elements. It's about comparing only comparable elements, in this case, comparing stores over time. Let's see a solution built in a Semantic model.
