A data science team is developing a model for real-time fraud detection, which will be deployed in a low-latency environment. The training data is known to be highly imbalanced. During the model selection phase, the team conducts a thorough literature review. What should be the primary focus of this literature review to ensure the selection of an appropriate initial model?
To establish a definitive performance benchmark by averaging the reported F1-scores from published papers.
To identify model architectures and feature engineering techniques that have proven effective for problems with similar constraints.
To find publicly available datasets that can be used to augment the team's proprietary data.
To select a set of optimal hyperparameters for a predetermined model like XGBoost.
The correct answer is to focus on identifying model architectures and feature engineering techniques that have been successfully applied to problems with similar constraints. In the model design and selection phase, a literature review's main purpose is to learn from prior work. Given the specific, challenging constraints of the project (real-time, low-latency, imbalanced data), the review must identify which models and methods are proven to work under these conditions. This provides a strong, evidence-based starting point for model selection.
Establishing a performance benchmark is a valuable outcome of a literature review, but it's secondary to first identifying what models to build. The benchmark is a target to aim for after a suitable model architecture has been chosen.
Finding public datasets for augmentation is a data enrichment strategy, not the primary goal of a literature review for model selection. It addresses a data problem, not a model architecture problem.
Selecting hyperparameters is a step that occurs after a model architecture has been chosen. A literature review might provide common starting points for tuning, but this is not its primary purpose in the initial selection phase.
