- Abstract summary: Money laundering (ML) is the behavior to conceal the source of money achieved by illegitimate activities.
Most existing methods detect dense blocks in a graph or a tensor, which do not consider the fact that money are frequently transferred through middle accounts.
CubeFlow proposed in this paper is a scalable, flow-based approach to spot fraud from a mass of transactions.

- Abstract: Money laundering (ML) is the behavior to conceal the source of money achieved
by illegitimate activities, and always be a fast process involving frequent and
chained transactions. How can we detect ML and fraudulent activity in large
scale attributed transaction data (i.e.~tensors)? Most existing methods detect
dense blocks in a graph or a tensor, which do not consider the fact that money
are frequently transferred through middle accounts. CubeFlow proposed in this
paper is a scalable, flow-based approach to spot fraud from a mass of
transactions by modeling them as two coupled tensors and applying a novel
multi-attribute metric which can reveal the transfer chains accurately.
Extensive experiments show CubeFlow outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in
ML behavior detection in both synthetic and real data.

Laundering [0.4159343412286401]
Money laundering is a process where criminals use financial services to move illegal money to untraceable destinations.
It is very crucial to identify such activities accurately and reliably in order to enforce an anti-money laundering (AML)
In this paper, we employ semi-supervised graph learning techniques on graphs of financial transactions in order to identify nodes involved in potential money laundering.

Monte Carlo Dropout has been widely used as a relatively cheap way for approximate Inference.
Recent works show that the dropout mask can be viewed as a latent variable, which can be inferred with variational inference.
GFlowOutleverages the recently proposed probabilistic framework of Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) to learn the posterior distribution over dropout masks.
