Organizations face major challenges in detecting employee expense fraud because of scarce data, intricate fraud patterns, and the requirement for explainable results. This paper implements a novel application that integrates Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) with Large Language Models (LLMs) to address these challenges. Our system represents expense activities as spatiotemporal events, uses LLMs to generate fraud detection rules within a constrained function space, and applies CBR to retrieve similar cases, minimize hallucinations, and improve explainability. The system implements a complete CBR cycle—retrieve similar fraud patterns, reuse detection rules, revise rules through LLM interaction, and retain verified cases. We evaluated the system with more than 200,000 real-world expense events and the results show that the integration of CBR with LLMs effectively constrains hallucinations while generating high-quality, explainable fraud detection rules. This approach offers a practical solution for applying AI in high-stakes domains requiring reliability and explainability.

摘要

Organizations face major challenges in detecting employee expense fraud because of scarce data, intricate fraud patterns, and the requirement for explainable results. This paper implements a novel application that integrates Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) with Large Language Models (LLMs) to address these challenges. Our system represents expense activities as spatiotemporal events, uses LLMs to generate fraud detection rules within a constrained function space, and applies CBR to retrieve similar cases, minimize hallucinations, and improve explainability. The system implements a complete CBR cycle—retrieve similar fraud patterns, reuse detection rules, revise rules through LLM interaction, and retain verified cases. We evaluated the system with more than 200,000 real-world expense events and the results show that the integration of CBR with LLMs effectively constrains hallucinations while generating high-quality, explainable fraud detection rules. This approach offers a practical solution for applying AI in high-stakes domains requiring reliability and explainability.
