GAD-EBM: Graph Anomaly Detection
using Energy-Based Models

This repository contains the PyTorch implementation of the NeurIPS 2023 New Frontiers in Graph Learning (GLFrontiers) workshop paper "GAD-EBM: Graph Anomaly Detection using Energy-Based Models" by Amit Roy, Juan Shu, Olivier Elshocht, Jeroen Smeets, Ruqi Zhang and Pan Li.

Abstract

Graph Anomaly Detection (GAD) is essential in fields ranging from network security, and bioinformatics to finance. Previous works often adopt auto-encoders to compute reconstruction errors for anomaly detection: anomalies are hard to be reconstructed. In this work, we revisit the first principle for anomaly detection, i.e., the Neyman-Pearson rule, where the optimal anomaly detector is based on the likelihood of a data point given the normal distribution of data. However, in practice, the distribution is often unknown and the estimation of the distribution of graph-structured data may be hard. Moreover, the likelihood computation of a graph-structured data point may be challenging as well. In this paper, we propose a novel approach GAD-EBM that can estimate the distribution of graphs and compute likelihoods efficiently by using Energy-Based Models (EBMs) over graphs. GAD-EBM approaches the likelihood of a rooted subgraph of node $v$, and further can leverage the likelihood to accurately identify whether node $v$ is anomalous or not. Traditional score matching for training EBMs may not be used to apply EBMs that model the distribution of graphs because of complicated discreteness and multi-modality of graph data. We propose a Subgraph Score Matching (SSM) approach, which is specifically designed for graph data based on a novel framework of neighborhood state-space graphs. Experimentation conducted on six real-world datasets validates the effectiveness and efficiency of GAD-EBM and the source code for GAD-EBM is openly available.
