• Abstract: Circular trading is a form of tax evasion in Goods and Services Tax where a group of fraudulent taxpayers (traders) aims to mask illegal transactions by superimposing several fictitious transactions (where no value is added to the goods or service) among themselves in a short period. Due to the vast database of taxpayers, it is infeasible for authorities to manually identify groups of circular traders and the illegitimate transactions they are involved in. This work uses big data analytics and graph representation learning techniques to propose a framework to identify communities of circular traders and isolate the illegitimate transactions in the respective communities. Our approach is tested on real-life data provided by the Department of Commercial Taxes, Government of Telangana, India, where we uncovered several communities of circular traders.

  We show that it is possible to allow model providers to keep their model weights (but not architecture) and data secret while allowing other parties to trustlessly audit model and data properties. We do this by designing a protocol called ZkAudit in which model providers publish cryptographic commitments of datasets and model weights.

  We propose an Adaptive Sampling and Aggregation-based Graph Neural Network (ASA-GNN) that learns discriminative representations to improve the performance of transaction fraud detection. A neighbor sampling strategy is performed to filter noisy nodes and supplement information for fraudulent nodes. Experiments on three real financial datasets demonstrate that the proposed method ASA-GNN outperforms state-of-the-art ones.

  We propose a framework of relational graph convolutional networks methods for fraudulent behaviour prevention in the financial services of a Super-App. We use an interpretability algorithm for graph neural networks to determine the most important relations to the classification task of the users. Our results show that there is an added value when considering models that take advantage of the alternative data of the Super-App and the interactions found in their high connectivity.

  This paper presents a computational evolutionary game model to study and understand fraud dynamics in the consumption tax system. Players are cooperators if they correctly declare their value added tax (VAT), and are defectors otherwise. Since transactions between companies must be declared by both the buyer and seller, a strategy adopted by one influences the other's payoff.

  The Cold-start is a significant problem referring to the failure of a detection system to recognize the authenticity of a new user. In this paper, we model a review system as a Heterogeneous InformationNetwork (HIN) which enables a unique representation to every component. HIN with graph induction helps to address the camouflage issue (fraudsterswith genuine reviews) which has shown to be more severe when it is coupled with cold-start, i.e., new fraudsters with genuine first reviews.
