We use ml to identify users who might try to commit fraud when purchasing things from our site, as well as prevent identify fraud when users verify their ID with us. We are also looking into taking advantage of adaptive design to improve ux and conversion.

Interned at a KYC/KYB company last summer and its all manual there. They've got people checking the submitted forms/scans manually. How good are you getting because I truly believe they can all be replaced very quickly! Talk to me :)

There's research about the high frequency of certain digits when bogus accounts are created. I've also done work with KBAs, geo's, and name origins with interesting results. Very exciting area!
