GraphFAS: A Distributed System for Automated Graph Feature Generation and Selection in Industrial Transaction Networks

GraphFAS is a distributed system that automates graph feature generation and selection for industrial transaction networks. It uses a non‑parametric module to create explicit, interpretable structural features through multi‑hop subgraph extraction and multi‑scale aggregation, and extends the Boruta algorithm with median‑based aggregation across partitions for robust feature selection. The approach decouples feature aggregation from model training, allowing integration with tabular models and TreeSHAP explanations, and has been deployed in Alipay, yielding significant engineering efficiency gains and strong performance against expert‑driven and graph‑learning baselines.

GraphFAS: A Distributed System for Automated Graph Feature Generation and Selection in Industrial Transaction Networks

GraphFAS is a distributed system that automates graph feature generation and selection for industrial transaction networks. It uses a non‑parametric graph feature generator that creates explicit, interpretable structural features through multi‑hop subgraph extraction and multi‑scale aggregation, and an extended Boruta algorithm that aggregates feature importance across partitions to robustly identify informative features at scale. By decoupling feature aggregation from model training, GraphFAS can be directly integrated with tabular models and TreeSHAP‑based explanations, and it has been deployed in Alipay, achieving significant engineering efficiency gains and strong performance against expert‑driven and graph‑learning baselines on large‑scale graphs.

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.

GARG-AML against Smurfing: A Scalable and Interpretable Graph-Based Framework for Anti-Money Laundering

The paper introduces GARG-AML, a graph-based framework designed to detect smurfing—a money‑laundering technique that splits large transactions into smaller ones—to improve anti‑money laundering efforts. It quantifies smurfing risk with a single interpretable metric derived from the second‑order transaction network, offering a balance between computational efficiency and transparency. The authors demonstrate GARG‑AML’s scalability on large random networks and its effectiveness on two open‑source money‑laundering datasets, suggesting it can enhance smurfing detection and support investigative decision‑making.
