Amazon Exam MLS-C01 Topic 2 Question 105 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's MLS-C01 exam
Question #: 105
Topic #: 2
[All MLS-C01 Questions]

An ecommerce company wants to use machine learning (ML) to monitor fraudulent transactions on its website. The company is using Amazon SageMaker to research, train, deploy, and monitor the ML models.

The historical transactions data is in a .csv file that is stored in Amazon S3 The data contains features such as the user's IP address, navigation time, average time on each page, and the number of clicks for ....session. There is no label in the data to indicate if a transaction is anomalous.

Which models should the company use in combination to detect anomalous transactions? (Select TWO.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D, E

To detect anomalous transactions, the company can use a combination of Random Cut Forest (RCF) and XGBoost models. RCF is an unsupervised algorithm that can detect outliers in the data by measuring the depth of each data point in a collection of random decision trees. XGBoost is a supervised algorithm that can learn from the labeled data points generated by RCF and classify them as normal or anomalous. RCF can also provide anomaly scores that can be used as features for XGBoost to improve the accuracy of the classification.References:

2: Amazon SageMaker XGBoost Algorithm

I believe Linear learner with a logistic function could also be helpful in detecting anomalous transactions. It's important to have a combination of models for better results.

I agree with Lashawn, RCF is a good choice. But I also think they should consider using K-nearest neighbors (k-NN) for better accuracy.

I heard the ecommerce company is going to use a magical algorithm that can sniff out fraud like a bloodhound on a bacon trail. I call it the 'Sniff-Out-Scam-o-Matic 3000'!

This is a piece of cake! IP Insights and Linear learner with a logistic function are the way to go. IP Insights for the IP address analysis, and the linear learner for the overall transaction patterns. Gotta catch those bad guys red-handed!

I'd recommend K-nearest neighbors (k-NN) and Random Cut Forest (RCF). k-NN is great for identifying outliers, and RCF can handle the lack of labeled data. Plus, it's always fun to watch the algorithm 'cut' through the fraudulent transactions!

Definitely go with IP Insights and XGBoost. XGBoost is a powerful algorithm that can handle the complex patterns in the data, and IP Insights will catch those sneaky fraudsters trying to hide behind proxy servers.
