H2O.ai Talk Fintech in Edinburgh

Presentation 1 - Dirty Money: Detecting Money Laundering with Machine Learning

Ashrith Barthur - Security Scientist at H2O - https://www.linkedin.com/in/abarthur

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.

Ashrith Barthur is a Security Scientist at H2O currently working on algorithms that detect anomalous behaviour in user activities, network traffic, attacks, financial fraud and global money movement. He has a PhD from Purdue University in the field of information security, specialized in Anomalous behaviour in DNS protocol.
