Idea
AMLNet platform generates realistic synthetic money laundering transactions and detects suspicious activity for financial institutions and regulators.
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper presents AMLNet, a multi-agent system that creates synthetic financial transactions aligned with regulations and realistic laundering behaviors. It integrates a detection pipeline that achieves high accuracy and generalizes well to external datasets. This approach advances AML research by providing large-scale, realistic datasets and robust detection methods not previously available.
