在保护用户隐私前提下，安全融合手机等替代数据提升信贷风险预测精度。

Credit risk prediction is a critical problem in the consumer credit industry. Traditionally, financial institutions construct credit risk prediction models using borrowers' demographic, financial, and credit history data, collectively referred to as traditional data. Recent studies have demonstrated that alternative data, such as borrowers' mobile phone communication data, enable lenders to acquire fuller and more accurate profiles of borrowers' creditworthiness, thereby improving credit risk prediction performance. Nevertheless, alternative data are held by external entities independent of financial institutions. Directly sharing alternative data with financial institutions infringe on consumer privacy, yet existing credit risk prediction studies largely overlook this issue. To address this gap, we define a new problem, namely privacy-preserving credit risk prediction with alternative data, which simultaneously considers three practical constraints: the privacy-preserving constraint that protects consumer privacy, the model-confidentiality constraint that learns and stores the model centrally at the financial institution, and the lossless constraint that maintains the performance of the learned model. To solve this problem, we develop PrivacyCredit, a novel privacy-preserving machine learning method. We then theoretically demonstrate the privacy-preserving, model-confidential, and lossless properties of PrivacyCredit. Through extensive experiments using a real-world credit dataset linked with alternative data, we demonstrate the predictive value of securely incorporating alternative data into credit risk prediction and show that PrivacyCredit achieves the same predictive performance as the model learned from the insecure plaintext combination of traditional and alternative data. We further evaluate its model-confidentiality property and computational efficiency.
