Talk 1:

In this talk, Ashrith will be introducing you to the idea of using machine learning for detecting money laundering. The idea behind using ML for detecting money laundering is that the current rules-based engine have limited visibility into money movement. And as models learn the nuances of money movement, especially illegal, much better money laundering detection is possible.
