... and “auto-escalating” high-risk alerts. Design/methodology/approach Machine learning is used to create a “bolt on” model that sits on top of existing rule-based transaction monitoring systems to improve their effectiveness and efficiency. This was achieved by developing a model to mimic the analysts...
