Abstract

Aiming at the problems of single feature modelling and models lacking interpretability in the current ICO fraud detection research, this paper proposed an interpretable ICO fraud prediction model(IICOFP) by fusing multi-source heterogeneous data. Firstly, it fused the ICO project basic information, rating scores, social media and other multi-source heterogeneous data, and effectively achieved feature modelling of ICOs by Lasso feature selection and Tomek-Link under-sampling. Secondly, it trained the ICO fraud prediction model based on the GBDT algorithm, and introduced the SHAP framework to analyze the main influencing factors of fraudulent ICOs from multiple perspectives, which strongly enhanced the interpretability of the model. The experimental results show that the proposed IICOFP model achieves accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score and AUC value of 87.76%, 85.37%, 90.52%, 87.87% and 87.82%, respectively, and the performance of each of them is improved by about 2%~10% over the existing best model, which verifies the key role of fusing multi-source heterogeneous data for feature modelling in ICO fraud prediction(experimental data and code: https: //github. com/Lujiarong1203/IICOFP).
