信用卡欺诈检测面临极端类别不平衡问题,欺诈交易稀少但至关重要。这种不平衡常使监督学习偏向正常类,导致整体准确率高但欺诈类召回率和F1分数低。本文提出Q-SYNTH,一种混合经典-量子生成对抗框架,其中参数化量子电路作为生成器,经典神经网络作为判别器。该方法专用于表格数据中的少数类欺诈样本合成,并从两个维度评估:生成样本与真实欺诈样本的统计保真度,以及下游欺诈检测性能。通过柯尔莫哥洛夫-斯米尔诺夫统计量、沃瑟斯坦距离衡量分布相似性,使用AUC-ROC评估真实与合成样本可区分性,并在量子与经典分类器上测试下游分类性能。实验表明,在所报告协议下,Q-SYNTH相较经典GAN基线显著降低边缘分布差异,同时保持良好的下游检测表现。尽管SMOTE在特征级相似性上最优,经典GAN在部分设置中取得最高性能,但Q-SYNTH在分布保真度与下游性能间实现良好平衡,验证了混合量子数据增强在不平衡欺诈检测中的可行性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Credit card fraud detection is fundamentally challenged by extreme class imbalance, where fraudulent transactions are rare yet operationally critical. This imbalance often biases supervised learners toward the legitimate class, leading to high overall accuracy but weaker fraud-class recall and F1-score. This paper introduces Q-SYNTH, a hybrid classical--quantum generative adversarial framework in which a parameterized quantum circuit serves as the generator and a classical neural network serves as the discriminator. Q-SYNTH is designed for minority-class fraud synthesis in tabular data and is evaluated along two dimensions: statistical fidelity to real fraud samples and downstream performance for fraud detection. To this end, generated samples are assessed using distributional similarity measures based on Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics and Wasserstein distances, real-vs-synthetic detectability measured by AUC-ROC, and downstream classification performance across both quantum and classical classifiers. Under the reported protocol, Q-SYNTH reduces marginal distribution mismatch relative to a classical GAN baseline while maintaining competitive downstream fraud-detection performance. Although SMOTE achieves the strongest feature-wise similarity and the classical GAN attains the highest downstream performance in several settings, Q-SYNTH offers a favorable compromise between distributional fidelity and downstream performance, supporting the feasibility of hybrid quantum augmentation for imbalanced fraud detection.
