- 设计可学习高斯窗,聚焦与机器人相关的频谱特征。

- 在多个数据集上提升4.3%的F1分数,兼容现有谱GNN方法。
社交机器人正日益通过传播虚假信息和协同操纵污染在线平台,严重威胁网络安全。图神经网络(GNN)因其能融合结构与属性特征,已成为主流的社交机器人检测方法,其中基于谱的方法因频域中具有判别性模式而表现优异。然而,现有谱GNN方法存在两大局限:(1) 宽频谱拟合机制削弱了对机器人特异性频谱特征的关注;(2) 某些对检测有价值的先验知识,如低同质性对应高频特征,尚未被充分整合。为此,我们提出HW-GNN,一种具备同质性感知的图谱网络,引入高斯窗约束。框架包含两项创新:(i) 可学习高斯窗谱网络,用于突出机器人相关频谱特征;(ii) 同质性感知适应机制,将同质性比率与频率特征的关系注入高斯窗优化过程。在多个基准数据集上的实验表明,HW-GNN实现最先进的检测性能,平均F1-score提升4.3%,且与现有谱GNN具有良好兼容性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Social bots are increasingly polluting online platforms by spreading misinformation and engaging in coordinated manipulation, posing severe threats to cybersecurity. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have become mainstream for social bot detection due to their ability to integrate structural and attribute features, with spectral-based approaches demonstrating particular efficacy due to discriminative patterns in the spectral domain. However, current spectral GNN methods face two limitations: (1) their broad-spectrum fitting mechanisms degrade the focus on bot-specific spectral features, and (2) certain domain knowledge valuable for bot detection, e.g., low homophily correlates with high-frequency features, has not been fully incorporated into existing methods. To address these challenges, we propose HW-GNN, a novel homophily-aware graph spectral network with Gaussian window constraints. Our framework introduces two key innovations: (i) a Gaussian-window constrained spectral network that employs learnable Gaussian windows to highlight bot-related spectral features, and (ii) a homophily-aware adaptation mechanism that injects domain knowledge between homophily ratios and frequency features into the Gaussian window optimization process. Through extensive experimentation on multiple benchmark datasets, we demonstrate that HW-GNN achieves state-of-the-art bot detection performance, outperforming existing methods with an average improvement of 4.3% in F1-score, while exhibiting strong plug-in compatibility with existing spectral GNNs.
