  • The study introduces a new credit default prediction model called Opt_LightGBM to tackle the difficulties associated with analyzing real-world bank loan data.
  • The paper employs the Borderline-SMOTE sampling technique to address data imbalance, helping improve the performance of the prediction model.
  • The Opt_LightGBM model utilizes the Optuna parameter tuning tool to enhance the efficiency of parameter optimization and improve the predictive accuracy of the LightGBM model.
  • Results show that the model achieves an accuracy of 88%, an AUC of 0.9, and both recall rate and F1 score exceeding 0.88, demonstrating its effectiveness in predicting credit default and aiding risk management.
