AnomalyGFM: Graph Foundation Model for Zero/Few-shot Anomaly Detection

AnomalyGFM is a graph foundation model designed for zero- and few-shot anomaly detection in graphs. It learns graph‑agnostic normal and abnormal prototypes by aligning data‑independent class representations with node representation residuals, enabling consistent abnormality measurement across diverse graph datasets. Experiments on 11 real‑world GAD datasets show that AnomalyGFM outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods in both zero‑shot and few‑shot settings.

Is Real-World Training Data Necessary for Generalist Graph Anomaly Detection?

The paper investigates whether synthetic data can replace real-world training data for generalist graph anomaly detection (GAD). It introduces AG-FORGE, a framework that automatically generates anomalous graphs, and shows that synthetic data can match real-world performance but does not surpass it due to method limitations. To overcome this, the authors propose TS-GGAD, a model that jointly learns topological and semantic anomaly cues with a curriculum learning strategy, achieving superior results on 14 real-world datasets when trained on AG-FORGE-generated data.

GLASS: Graph-Language Alignment with Spherical Scoring for Transferable Graph-Level Anomaly Detection

GLASS is a graph‑level anomaly detection framework that aligns graph and language representations on a unit hypersphere to achieve cross‑domain transferability. It constructs a Graph Descriptor Prompt to encode local, global, and semantic graph properties, and uses a multi‑slice soft cosine objective to unify graph and text embeddings. Anomaly scoring is performed via spherical density estimation with von Mises‑Fisher kernels, enabling zero‑shot detection and few‑shot adaptation across twelve benchmarks and three meta‑domains, outperforming recent GLAD baselines.
