Abstract

Perceptron learning is proposed in the context of so-called scoring systems used for assessing creditworthiness as stipulated in the Basel II central banks capital accord of the G10-states. The approximate solution of a related ranking problem using a large margin algorithm is described. Some experimental results obtained by utilizing a Java prototype are exhibited. From these it becomes apparent that combining the large margin algorithm presented here with the pocket algorithm provides an attractive alternative to the use of support vector machines. Related algorithms are briefly discussed.
