Quick survey of graph-based fraud detection methods

Abstract

In general, anomaly detection is the problem of distinguishing between normal data samples with well defined patterns or signatures and those that do not conform to the expected profiles. Financial transactions, customer reviews, social media posts are all characterized by relational information. In these networks, fraudulent behaviour may appear as a distinctive graph edge, such as spam message, a node or a larger subgraph structure, such as when a group of clients engage in money laundering schemes. Most commonly, these networks are represented as attributed graphs, with numerical features complementing relational information. We present a survey on anomaly detection techniques used for fraud detection that exploit both the graph structure underlying the data and the contextual information contained in the attributes.
