• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Many machine learning methods have been proposed to achieve accurate transaction fraud detection, which is essential to the financial security of individuals and banks. However, most existing methods leverage original features only or require manual feature engineering. They lack the ability to learn discriminative representations from transaction data. Moreover, criminals often commit fraud by imitating cardholders' behaviors, which causes the poor performance of existing detection models. In this paper, 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. Specifically, we leverage cosine similarity and edge weights to adaptively select neighbors with similar behavior patterns for target nodes and then find multi-hop neighbors for fraudulent nodes. A neighbor diversity metric is designed by calculating the entropy among neighbors to tackle the camouflage issue of fraudsters and explicitly alleviate the over-smoothing phenomena. Extensive experiments on three real financial datasets demonstrate that the proposed method ASA-GNN outperforms state-of-the-art ones.

  We introduce two types of camouflages based on recent empirical studies, i.e., the feature camouflage and the relation camouflage. Existing GNNs have not addressed these two camouflages, which results in their poor performance in fraud detection problems. We propose a new model named CAmouflage-REsistant GNN (CARE-GNN) to enhance the GNN aggregation process with three unique modules against camouflages.

  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.
