Abstract

With the rapid expansion of the logistics industry, the contradiction between improving customer claim experience and controlling enterprise costs has become increasingly prominent. Traditional manual-dominated claim risk identification is inefficient and relies on experience, making it difficult to meet the refined management needs of large-scale waybills. To address this issue, this paper constructs a data-driven standardized modeling system covering three core tasks: risk labeling, compensation amount prediction, and dual-path risk labeling. For risk labeling, a seven-step process is adopted: basic indicator construction, deep feature engineering, compensation grade division, threshold optimization, dynamic adaptation, labeling fine-tuning, and verification. Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is used to cluster two-dimensional data of "actual compensation amount - claim difference", and constrained nonlinear programming is applied to optimize thresholds, ensuring reasonable claims account for 84.99% and severe excess claims for 2.97%, which meets business constraints. For compensation amount prediction, a six-layer architecture is built, including feature enhancement, multi-model integration, control engineering enhancement, and business constraints. Exclusive features such as compensation time-series correlation are added, and a weighted voting integrated model with Elastic Net, Random Forest, and Gradient Boosting Tree is constructed. Adaptive PID and multi-state Kalman Filter are introduced to improve stability, with the model achieving RMSE of 112.3 and R² of 0.841 on the verification set, and prediction fluctuation reduced by over 40%. For dual-path risk labeling, two schemes are designed. Path 1 reuses and adapts the risk labeling rules, while Path 2 builds an end-to-end classification model. A triple strategy (SMOTE-ENN hybrid sampling, class weight compensation, stratified cross-validation) is used to solve the extreme class imbalance of severe excess samples. Both paths meet business constraints, with a prediction consistency of 81.02%, suitable for different scenarios. This paper innovatively integrates machine learning and control engineering, designs a dual-path scheme and a triple strategy for class balance, providing a standardized reference for logistics claim risk management.
