    要:

Social Security is a key government service for maintaining fairness and stability in any country. Due to the complexity of the services and the possibility of fraudulence, it is an ever-present problem which sometimes results in incorrect payments to beneficiaries. It is also difficult to collect debts from low-income beneficiaries which have resulted from incorrect payments. In practice, incorrect payments can be substantial, and this can impact on the perception and measurement of government performance. One possible solution for these problems is to use data mining technology to discover patterns which indicate fraud and incorrect payments, to optimise the assessment procedures and reduce the occurrence of incorrect payments. However, mining such data provides a challenge to existing Data Mining research in areas such as unbalanced data distribution and impact-targeted pattern mining.

In this talk, I will discuss how we can develop an innovative data mining methodology (activity mining) to reduce incorrect payments by optimising the assessment procedures. I will focus on how to discover impact-targeted activity patterns in huge volumes of unbalanced activity transactions. I will also discuss issues and prospects in mining high impact activities of exceptional behaviour from rare, dispersed and imbalanced data from governmental social security datasets.

In addition, I will also discuss how we can develop another new data mining methodology (combined mining) to enable faster and more efficient debt collection.  Here, I will focus on rule generation and interestingness measurements in combined association rule mining. In rule generation, the frequent itemsets are discovered among itemset groups to improve efficiency. New interestingness measurements are defined to discover more actionable knowledge.

The results we have achieved so far have been verified by the domain experts. The commercialised system based on the above research will be developed soon. Our experience can also be applied to other government services.
