MINT: Mitigating Structural Inconsistency via Attentive Message Passing for Financial Anomaly Detection

MINT is a graph neural network framework designed to detect illicit accounts in financial transaction networks. It addresses structural inconsistency by using an attentive message‑passing scheme that tracks deviations between nodes in bi‑directional flows and a transaction salience module that regularizes node interactions. To cope with limited labeled data, MINT employs Positive‑Unlabeled learning, leveraging a small set of known illicit nodes and many unlabeled ones, and demonstrates superior performance on three benchmark datasets.

LLM-Enhanced Heterogeneous Graph Learning with Business Semantics for Financial Fraud Detection

SemHGT is a new framework that enhances heterogeneous graph learning for financial fraud detection by explicitly incorporating business semantics of structured attributes. It uses role‑aware prompts to generate risk‑related descriptions, maps these to semantic vectors, and then guides multi‑round sampling of transaction paths based on semantic similarity. The framework combines local path evidence and global neighbor summaries in a unified transformer, achieving superior performance on three benchmark datasets compared to existing baselines.

Evi-VN: Hard Region Guided Virtual Node Evidence Injection for GNN-Based Fraud Detection

Evi-VN is a new framework for graph neural network (GNN) fraud detection that injects evidence from diverse modalities—structured records, text, images, and audio—into virtual node representations. It targets shared hard regions where standard GNNs fail to distinguish well‑disguised fraudsters from legitimate users, correcting blind spots without disrupting reliable predictions. Experiments on bot, fake‑review, refund‑evidence, and telecom‑fraud datasets demonstrate its effectiveness across generic, fraud‑specific, and unseen GNNs.
