Authors: Prince Grover, Zheng Li, Jianbo Liu, Jakub Zablocki, Hao Zhou, Julia Xu, Anqi Cheng. The Fraud Dataset Benchmark (FDB) is a compilation of publicly available datasets relevant to fraud detection. The FDB aims to cover a wide variety of fraud detection tasks, ranging from card not present transaction fraud, bot attacks, malicious traffic, loan risk and content moderation. The goal is to provide researchers working in the field of fraud and abuse detection a standardized set of benchmarking datasets and evaluation tools for their experiments.
