Primes¶
- Self Engagement Under Misclassification
- Add classifier inputs for better discrimination — multi-spectral IFF, multi-receptor immune recognition, multi-feature fraud models.
This sourceShows that adding classifier inputs (237 automatically engineered behavioral features) cut fraud false positives by ~54% while preserving detection — the classifier-side fix (more inputs, tuned to cost asymmetry) that reduces self-harm without weakening defense.

Supports only the fraud-model example: many added behavioural features cut fraud false positives by 54%; the IFF and immune-recognition examples are outside this source.
“We generate 237 features (>100 behavioral patterns) for each transaction, and use a random forest to learn a classifier.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
