用时间模式检测金融交易异常,精准识别隐藏的欺诈行为。
ATM-GAD: Adaptive Temporal Motif Graph Anomaly Detection for Financial Transaction Networks
- 提取账户交易中的时间模式,捕捉可疑资金流动特征。
- 在四个真实数据集上优于七个基线模型,发现更多隐蔽欺诈。
- 自适应时间窗口,针对每个账户动态调整分析时段。
金融欺诈检测对保护数十亿美元至关重要,但现代金融系统中实体交织、交易行为快速变化,常使传统机器学习模型失效。基于图的检测方法虽有进展,但仍忽略两个与时间相关的欺诈特征:(1) 时间模式——揭示可疑资金流的重复性子图结构;(2) 账户特定的异常活跃区间,即欺诈仅在每个实体独有的短暂时间段内显现。为此,我们提出ATM-GAD,一种利用时间模式进行金融异常检测的自适应图神经网络。时间模式提取器将每个账户的交易历史压缩为最具信息量的时间模式,同时保留拓扑与时间模式。随后,双注意力模块分别处理单个模式内的交互(IntraA)与跨模式的证据聚合(InterA),以暴露多步欺诈。同时,可微分的自适应时间窗口学习器为每个节点定制观察窗口,精确聚焦于最关键的时间片段。在四个真实数据集上的实验表明,ATM-GAD持续优于七个强基线模型,发现了先前方法遗漏的欺诈模式。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Financial fraud detection is essential to safeguard billions of dollars, yet the intertwined entities and fast-changing transaction behaviors in modern financial systems routinely defeat conventional machine learning models. Recent graph-based detectors make headway by representing transactions as networks, but they still overlook two fraud hallmarks rooted in time: (1) temporal motifs--recurring, telltale subgraphs that reveal suspicious money flows as they unfold--and (2) account-specific intervals of anomalous activity, when fraud surfaces only in short bursts unique to each entity. To exploit both signals, we introduce ATM-GAD, an adaptive graph neural network that leverages temporal motifs for financial anomaly detection. A Temporal Motif Extractor condenses each account's transaction history into the most informative motifs, preserving both topology and temporal patterns. These motifs are then analyzed by dual-attention blocks: IntraA reasons over interactions within a single motif, while InterA aggregates evidence across motifs to expose multi-step fraud schemes. In parallel, a differentiable Adaptive Time-Window Learner tailors the observation window for every node, allowing the model to focus precisely on the most revealing time slices. Experiments on four real-world datasets show that ATM-GAD consistently outperforms seven strong anomaly-detection baselines, uncovering fraud patterns missed by earlier methods.
