Fraud impacts everyone—from individual consumers to large corporations. Traditional rules-based systems may have been effective in the past in identifying fraud, but they become ineffective and stale as fraudsters learn how to bypass those rules. It becomes even more challenging due to the large volumes of data that need to be processed and examined to detect fraud, in addition to the constantly changing tactics for committing fraud – those activities are usually hidden in large volumes of data. Recently developed machine learning techniques are increasingly effective in detecting fraud with the advances in data systems (e.g. big data, streaming data) and computational systems (e.g. high-performance computing, GPU). As a result, it is possible to identify fraudulent patterns of behavior in data that is constantly being captured from day-to-day activities. In addition, it is feasible to address the challenges associated with fraudsters changing their tactics.

Data science and AI are game-changing technologies for engineering and manufacturing companies. To embrace the need of today and the future for self-service data science and analytics in manufacturing, we need more data engineers to make this all possible.
At Altair, we envision a future where engineers are well equipped to apply data science techniques to derive powerful predictive analysis that transforms the way they operate. There are a plethora of applications for data science in manufacturing - from product design, supply chain optimization, and fault prediction, and preventative maintenance to demand forecasting, and quality assurance. By bridging the gap between the data scientist and engineering roles, your organization can breakdown data silos and extract actionable insights to drive real business value.
The movement has just started. Watch our on-demand webinar to learn more.
