SilIF: Silhouette-Augmented Isolation Forest for Unsupervised Transaction Fraud Detection

arXiv:2605.26135v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unsupervised anomaly detection is widely used in transaction fraud detection where labels are scarce. Isolation Forest (IF) is among the most popular classical methods due to its scalability and ease of deployment. We propose SilIF, an augmentation of Isolation Forest that adds a silhouette-based scoring layer computed in a representation space induced by the trees of the forest. For each point, we extract a vector of per-tree path lengths, cluster these "fingerprints" into structural groups, and compute a silhouette score that measures how well
