Abstract

An investigation into generative adversarial approaches for anomaly detection in real estate transaction monitoring. Property fraud is rare, adversarial, and constantly changing shape, which is precisely the setting where supervised classifiers trained on historical labels perform worst. The work trains a model of legitimate transaction structure and treats reconstruction difficulty as the fraud signal, then examines where that assumption holds and where an adversary can exploit it.
