Research Project

Large Scale Mining of Banking and Finance Data for Customization of Face-to-Face and Internet Based Financial Services

Research Goal
Design intelligent techniques which summarize, cluster and predict internet, branch and region based customer transaction behavior on a range of products including loan accounts, credit card accounts, saving account, cheque accounts and insurance.

Funding
$20000

Acknowledgements
The project has been undertaken with a regional financial institution (name withheld). The support from School of Business, Albury /Wodonga campus and Dianne McGrath is gratefully acknowledged.

Problem Space
The ability of banks and financial institutions to collect data today far outstrips their ability to explore, analyze, and understand it. Advances in technology have enabled businesses today to gather data at an ever-increasing pace. Data that was measured in gigabytes until recently, is now being measured in terabytes, and will soon approach the petabyte range. Intelligent technologies need to be developed to help automate the exploration and analysis of very large data sets consisting of millions of records and integration of these technologies with decision making models of financial services managers. Large scale data mining still poses a number of research problems. These include issues related to mapping/integration of decision support models of the users into the data mining process and technologies, optimisation of the performance of the data mining technologies and load balancing.
