BSTRACTAttributed network anomaly detection is essential in various networked systems. It aims to detect nodes that significantly deviate from their corresponding background. In conventional anomaly detection, the background is defined as the vast majority. But in networks, anomalies can be local and look normal when compared with the majority. While several efforts have explored to consider communities as the background, it remains challenging to learn suitable communities for effective anomaly detection. Also, the patterns of anomalies are unknown and it is nontrivial to define criteria of anomalies. To bridge the gap, in this paper, we argue that, by using appropriate models, it is sufficient to simply consider neighbor nodes as the background to detect anomalies. Correspondingly, we propose a novel abnormality-aware graph neural network (AAGNN). It utilizes subtractive aggregation to represent each node as the deviation from its neighbors (the background). Normal nodes with high confidence are employed as labels to learn a tailored hypersphere as the criterion of anomalies. Experiments demonstrate that AAGNN surpasses state-of-the-art methods significantly. |
