Cover Story: Amidst increased interest in machine learning (ML), multiple branches are seeking appropriate structures to develop, deploy, and maintain intelligent systems. For the finance industry, ML-based systems offer the potential to detect and monitor financial threats in an automated manner when making financial credit decisions. Since corporate credit ratings provide multiple strategic, financial, and managerial benefits for decision makers, it is necessary to test if ML-based internal models can be used to evaluate the financial situation of companies based on financial statements. Furthermore, the financial industry is highly regulated, so companies must deal with both technical and legal challenges when it comes to forecasting credit ratings. View this paper
