本研究构建并评估了一种融合共识特征选择、混合采样、堆叠集成与可解释人工智能的破产预测框架,以提升严重不平衡金融数据中少数类的检测性能。基于UCI机器学习库中的台湾破产预测数据集,采用五种特征选择算法,并通过共识保留规则将输入变量缩减至23个稳健特征。使用SVM-SMOTE、SMOTE-Tomek和SMOTE-ENN生成平衡训练数据。比较了五种集成学习分类器(梯度提升、极端梯度提升、直方图梯度提升、LightGBM、AdaBoost)与五种深度学习模型(RNN、LSTM、GRU、DNN、MLP)。此外,构建混合堆叠集成,以五种机器学习模型为基学习器,每种深度学习模型为元学习器。模型性能通过准确率、召回率、特异性、G-mean和ROC-AUC评估,使用SHAP解释特征贡献。结果表明,采样策略显著影响模型表现:SVM-SMOTE和SMOTE-Tomek更优准确率与特异性,而SMOTE-ENN在少数类检测上表现更强。在独立模型中,使用SMOTE-ENN的GRU达到最佳平衡,召回率为0.8627,G-mean为0.8517,ROC-AUC为0.9431。在堆叠集成中,SMOTE-ENN与(GB+XGB+HGB+LGBM+AB)+LSTM组合在敏感性与特异性间取得最佳权衡。SHAP分析识别出杠杆、盈利能力、偿债能力及运营效率指标为最影响破产风险的关键因素。研究支持构建更可靠且可解释的财务困境早期预警系统。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This study develops and evaluates a bankruptcy prediction framework that integrates consensus-based feature selection, hybrid resampling, stacking ensembles, and explainable artificial intelligence to improve minority-class detection in severely imbalanced financial data. Using the Taiwanese Bankruptcy Prediction dataset from the UCI Machine Learning Repository, five feature-selection algorithms were first applied, and a consensus retention rule reduced the input space to 23 robust variables. The balanced training data were then generated using SVM-SMOTE, SMOTE-Tomek, and SMOTE-ENN. Five ensemble machine learning classifiers, namely gradient boosting, extreme gradient boosting, histogram-based gradient boosting, LightGBM, and AdaBoost, were compared with five deep learning models, including RNN, LSTM, GRU, DNN, and MLP. In addition, hybrid stacking ensembles combined the five machine learning classifiers as base learners with each deep learning model as a meta-learner. Model performance was assessed using accuracy, recall, specificity, G-mean, and ROC-AUC, while SHAP was used to explain feature contributions. The results show that resampling strategy materially shaped model behavior. SVM-SMOTE and SMOTE-Tomek favored accuracy and specificity, whereas SMOTE-ENN delivered stronger minority-class detection. Among standalone models, the GRU with SMOTE-ENN achieved the best overall predictive balance, with recall of 0.8627, G-mean of 0.8517, and ROC-AUC of 0.9431. Among stacking ensembles, SMOTE-ENN with (GB+XGB+HGB+LGBM+AB)+LSTM provided the strongest compromise between sensitivity and specificity. SHAP analysis identified leverage, profitability, solvency, and operational efficiency indicators as the most influential predictors of bankruptcy risk. These findings support more reliable and interpretable early warning systems for financially distressed firms.
