A Federated F-score Based Ensemble Model for Automatic Rule Extraction

Abstract: In this manuscript, we propose a federated F-score based ensemble tree model for automatic rule extraction, namely Fed-FEARE. Under the premise of data privacy protection, Fed-FEARE enables multiple agencies to jointly extract set of rules both vertically and horizontally. Compared with that without federated learning, measures in evaluating model performance are highly improved. At present, Fed-FEARE has already been applied to multiple business, including anti-fraud and precision marketing, in a China nation-wide financial holdings group.
