Can Abnormality be Detected by Graph Neural Networks?

AMNet

This project implements the Adaptive Multi-frequency filtering graph neural network for graph anomaly detection(AMNet) proposed in [1], which focuses on graph anomaly detection with GNNs exploiting both low/high-frequency signals.

Model Usage

Dependencies

This project is tested on cuda 11.2 with several dependencies listed below:

pytorch=1.11.0
torch-geometric=2.0.4

Input Format

Dataset

Two benchmark datasets Elliptic and Yelp of graph anomaly detection are available for evaluation. Elliptic was first proposed in this paper, of which goal is to detect money-laundering users in bitcoin network. We follow the original paper to perform a temporal split of training, validation and testing data. Note that we take a homophilous version of Yelp because we focus on homophilous graph to study the spectral properties of GNNs.

Datasets are processed to be a torch_geometric.data.Data . We also provide preprocessed Yelp / Elliptic datasets in the /dataset.

Get start

Train the model on benchmark datasets with the default setting:

python train.py --dataset yelp/elliptic

Tuned hyper-parameters could be found in config.py

Run on your own dataset

You could organize your dataset into a torch_geometric.data.Data then add profile of your own dataset on config.py

dataset_config = {
    ...
    'custom_dataset':
        {
            'K': 2,  # Number of filters
            'M': 5,  # Order of Bernstein Polynomials
            'hidden_channels': 64, 
            'lr_f': 5e-2, # Learning rate of filter module
            'lr': 5e-4, # Learning rate of non-filter module
            'weight_decay': 1e-5,
            'beta': 1., # Weight of marginal constraint loss
            'epochs': 2000, # total training epoch number
            'patience': 200 # patience for early-stopping
        },
    ...
}

Then train your own dataset with the customized setting:

python train.py --dataset custom_dataset

Abstract

Anomaly detection in graphs has attracted considerable interests in both academia and industry due to its wide applications in numerous domains ranging from finance to biology. Meanwhile, graph neural networks (GNNs) is emerging as a powerful tool for modeling graph data. A natural and fundamental question that arises here is: can abnormality be detected by graph neural networks? In this paper, we aim to answer this question, which is nontrivial. As many existing works have explored, graph neural networks can be seen as filters for graph signals, with the favor of low frequency in graphs. In other words, GNN will smooth the signals of adjacent nodes. However, abnormality in a graph intuitively has the characteristic that it tends to be dissimilar to its neighbors, which are mostly normal samples. It thereby conflicts with the general assumption with traditional GNNs. To solve this, we propose a novel Adaptive Multi-frequency Graph Neural Network (AMNet) , aiming to capture both low-frequency and high-frequency signals, and adaptively combine signals of different frequencies. Experimental results on real-world datasets demonstrate that our model achieves a significant improvement comparing with several state-of-the-art baseline methods.
