I tried SMOTE and didn't work !!!

On the anomaly detection w/ autoenconder front i am looking at this document : https://www.cs.ru.nl/bachelors-theses/2018/Tom_Sweers___4584325___Autoencoding_credit_card_fraude.pdf

I am trying just for kicks because i think this is a very signal poor dataset.

Hi jayesh! There are quite a number of ways to deal with imbalanced datasets. Some of these are:

1. Use of SMOTE

2. Use of the NearMiss algorithm

3. Random Sampling (Undersampling and/or Oversampling)

4. Anomaly Detection

5. Use of certain ensemble learning models.

Since the results you obtained on using SMOTE gave you low scores, I will advise you to check your features very well...something may be fishy.
