GHRN: Addressing Heterophily in Graph Anomaly Detection: A Perspective of Graph Spectrum

This is a PyTorch implementation of

Addressing Heterophily in Graph Anomaly Detection: A Perspective of Graph Spectrum (WWW2023)

Overview

In this work, we aim to address the heterophily problem in the spectral domain. We point out that heterophily is positively associated with the frequency of a graph. Towards this end, we could prune inter-class edges by simply emphasizing and delineating the high-frequency components of the graph. We adopt graph Laplacian to measure the extent of 1-hop label changing of the center node and indicate high-frequency components. Our indicator can effectively reduce the heterophily degree of the graph and is less likely to be influenced by the prediction error.

Some questions

1. What is heterophily and how does it affect the performance of the GNNs? Heterophily indicates the edges connecting nodes with different labels. Low-pass filters like GCN could undermine the discriminative information of the anomalies on heterophilous graphs.

2. How does indicator work? GHRN will calculate the post-aggregation matrix for the graph, and a smaller value means a larger probability of the inter-class edges.

Dataset

YelpChi and Amazon can be downloaded from here or dgl.data.FraudDataset. The T-Finance and T-Social datasets developed in the paper are on google drive.

Dependencies

- pytorch 1.9.0
- dgl 0.8.1
- sympy
- argparse
- sklearn
- scipy
- pickle

Reproduce

python main.py --dataset tfinance
python main.py --dataset tfinance --del_ratio 0.015

Note that a delete ratio of 0 should be run first to get predictions y.

Also, here's an awesome implementation.
