📢Day 7/100: Tackling Data Availability in Ethiopia
Building a credit scoring model in Ethiopia has challenges, especially regarding data. 📊
Key hurdles I’m exploring:
1️⃣ Data scarcity: Formal credit histories are rare, but eCommerce and mobile money data offer untapped potential.
2️⃣ Local partnerships: Collaborating with fintechs to access anonymized transaction data.
3️⃣ Privacy compliance: Ensuring data protection laws are adhered to while innovating responsibly.
💡 Question of the day: Are there alternative sources of financial data that have worked well in other emerging markets?

📢Day 10/100: Class Imbalance Challenges
Class imbalance is a persistent issue in fraud detection and credit scoring. 🚨
In my dataset:
Fraudulent transactions are rare (<5%), making prediction tricky.
Techniques like SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique) helped balance the dataset.
💡 Key Insight: Balancing the data improved model precision for rare classes like fraud detection.
💡 Question: What other methods do you use to address class imbalance without oversampling?

📢Day 20/100: Overcoming Tokenization Challenges
Tokenization is critical for NLP tasks like Named Entity Recognition.
Key steps:
1️⃣ Aligning tokens with Amharic text.
2️⃣ Preserving the relationship between tokens and their labels.
3️⃣ Using model-specific tokenizers (XLM-Roberta, mBERT).
💡 Takeaway: Tokenization errors can significantly impact the accuracy of entity recognition models.
