AI in Loan Portfolio Analytics & Early Warning Systems

AI powered analytics enable smarter loan portfolio oversight by identifying early signs of borrower stress and credit deterioration. This course explores how machine learning, time series modeling, and anomaly detection create robust early warning systems. Participants will learn to integrate automated monitoring pipelines into credit workflows, establish risk thresholds, and deploy explainable alerts ensuring proactive, scalable portfolio risk management aligned with industry best practices.

TRAINING TOPICS

• ML based credit deterioration detection (PD, LGD modeling)
• Time‑series monitoring of loan performance and risk drift
• Anomaly detection and alerting frameworks in loan data
• Borrower stress scoring using alternative data (behavioral, macro)
• Ensemble models: gradient boosting, LSTM for early warning
• Explainable AI for alert validation and audit compliance
• Rule based and ML hybrid decision pipelines
• Real time pipelines via APIs and streaming credit data
• Portfolio level risk dashboards and visualization
• Governance, recalibration, and regulatory reporting
