arXiv:2608. 15177v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The increasing complexity of digital financial systems has reshaped financial fraud detection from isolated transaction classification into relational risk reasoning over interconnected financial entities.
arXiv:2606. 18444v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In recent years, credit card fraud detection has faced significant challenges due to highly imbalanced data, evolving fraud patterns, and complex relational structures among transaction entities.
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.
The paper introduces Temporal-Context Edge Enrichment (TCEE), a framework that uses frozen time‑series foundation models (TSFMs) to summarise each account’s transaction history and enrich transaction representations with temporal context. These enriched edges can be directly scored for classification or used as features in a graph neural network (GNN). Across six AMLWorld datasets, TCEE improves PR‑AUC by an average of 10.8% over the best baseline and trains 6.0× faster; when combined with a GNN, it yields an additional 4.8% improvement on smaller datasets and a 14.5% gain on an Ethereum phishing dataset.

arXiv:2606. 25007v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Financial fraud detection in digital banking requires reasoning over multiple heterogeneous event streams -- transactions, login sessions, risk signals -- that individually appear benign but collectively reveal fraudulent patterns.
arXiv:2607. 19350v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Financial institutions face significant challenges in detecting sophisticated money laundering patterns, such as smurfing and layering, due to extreme data imbalance (0.
arXiv:2607. 19266v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fraud detection systems must scale with rising transaction volume while remaining explainable and reviewable.
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 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.
