🤖 AI Summary
This study addresses the financial losses and trust-related risks associated with credit default in credit card approval processes by proposing a novel multi-model ensemble mechanism based on Composite Fusion Analysis (CFA). The approach integrates five pre-trained machine learning models and enhances predictive performance through an optimized fusion strategy. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves an accuracy of 89.13% on credit approval tasks, significantly outperforming both conventional machine learning techniques and existing ensemble methods. These findings underscore the effectiveness and innovation of the CFA framework in improving decision-making accuracy within credit risk assessment.

📝 Abstract
Credit default poses significant challenges to financial institutions and consumers, resulting in substantial financial losses and diminished trust. As such, credit default risk management has been a critical topic in the financial industry. In this paper, we present Combinatorial Fusion Analysis (CFA), a model fusion framework, that combines multiple machine learning algorithms to detect and predict credit card approval with high accuracy. We present the design methodology and implementation using five pre-trained models. The CFA results show an accuracy of 89.13% which is better than conventional machine learning and ensemble methods.
