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.

Bridging Cognitive Neuroscience and Graph Intelligence: Hippocampus-Inspired Multi-View Hypergraph Learning for Web Finance Fraud

arXiv:2601. 11073v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Online financial services constitute an essential component of contemporary web ecosystems, yet their openness introduces substantial exposure to fraud that harms vulnerable users and weakens trust in digital finance.

FoundAna: A GNN-assisted Foundation Model for Graph Anomaly Detection

FoundAna is a GNN‑assisted foundation model designed for graph anomaly detection across diverse datasets. It combines a GNN component with a transformer encoder enhanced by four positional encodings to capture both local and global structure, using reconstruction errors as anomaly scores. Experiments on nine benchmark datasets from financial, social, and citation networks show that FoundAna consistently outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines.
