Researchers have developed SLEID, a novel framework designed to detect illicit accounts within Ethereum's Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem. This self-learning ensemble-based system utilizes an Isolation Forest model and a self-training mechanism to generate pseudo-labels for unlabeled data, thereby improving detection accuracy. Experiments involving over 6.9 million Ethereum transactions show SLEID outperforms existing methods in precision and F1 score, particularly for identifying minority illicit classes, while significantly reducing the need for labeled data.
