Machine Learning for Fraud Detection in Streaming Services

The Netflix TechBlog

NOVEMBER 11, 2022

Data analysis and machine learning techniques are great candidates to help secure large-scale streaming platforms. These models learn the distributions of benign samples and leverage that knowledge for identifying anomalous samples at the inference time. Detection of fraud and abuse at scale and in real-time is highly challenging.
