Machine learning XAI for early loan default prediction

Abstract: Early default prediction with predictive models is of crucial importance for financial institutions, Fintech or Peer to Peer (P2P) lending platforms, as it allows them to effectively mitigate the potential risks associated with customer or debtor defaults, anticipating before this becomes...
