Teacher Supervision, Fixed Representations and Calibration: Exact Risk Calculations for Candidate-Scoring Decision Models

Candidate-scoring decision models return a probability distribution over a presented set of answers. Public documentation of one such system, Jev, and of an open counterpart, JevAny, describes three training ingredients that determine what these probabilities estimate: soft targets from larger model

Conditional Weight of Evidence for Gradient-Boosted Credit Models: Estimation, Additivity and Its Relation to Adverse Action Reasons

Traditional weight of evidence assigns a credit characteristic a value based on its association with default across a population. Credit analysis also requires an assessment of that characteristic in the context of an individual applicant’s record. We study conditional weight of evidence for this pu

EventGPT: Next-Event Pretraining on Banking Customer Histories

A model pretrained to predict a customer’s next event can estimate the probability of future events without training on their labels and provide a reusable representation for supervised downstream banking tasks. We pretrain EventGPT, a hierarchical causal transformer, by next-token maximum likelihoo
