Abstract

Non-technical loss detection represents a very high cost to power supply companies. Finding classifiers that can deal with this problem is not easy as they have to face a high imbalance scenario with noisy data. In this paper we propose to use Optimal F-measure Classifier (OFC) and Linear F-measure Classifier (LFC), two novel algorithms that are designed to work in problems with unbalanced classes. We compare both algorithm performances with other previously used methods to solve automatic fraud detection problem.
