Statistical Feature Augmentation for Anomaly Detection in Dynamic Graphs

The paper introduces a statistical feature augmentation technique that encodes behavioral interaction statistics into the input space for dynamic graph anomaly detection. Experiments on Reddit, Wikipedia, and MOOC datasets across seven models—both continuous-time and discrete-time—show that this augmentation consistently improves detection performance compared to models trained on original embeddings. The enriched input also facilitates fine-grained post-hoc analysis of behavioral importance, linking classical network analysis with deep learning.

We Need to Rethink Benchmarking in Anomaly Detection

arXiv:2507. 15584v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Despite the continuous proposal of new anomaly detection algorithms and extensive benchmarking efforts, progress seems to stagnate, with only minor performance differences between established baselines and new algorithms.
