Abstract: A credit risk decision management system, as applied to speaker authentication and emotion detection, uses voice analysis as a tool for credit assessment, fraud detection and a measure of customer satisfaction and return rate probability when lending to an individual or a group. Emotions in voice interactions during a credit granting process are shown to have high correlation with specific loan outcomes, allowing prediction of lending outcomes Features are extracted from the customer's voice files, and mathematical and logical transformations are performed on these features to get derived features. The data is then fed to a predictive model which captures the probability of default, intent to pay and fraudulent activity involved in a credit transaction. The voice prints can also he transcribed into text and text analytics can be performed on the data obtained to infer similar lending outcomes using Natural Language Processing and predictive modeling techniques.
