Counterfactual Graph Learning for Anomaly Detection with Feature Disentanglement and Generation (Student Abstract)

Abstract

Graph anomaly detection has received remarkable research interests, and various techniques have been employed for enhancing detection performance. However, existing models tend to learn dataset-specific spurious correlations based on statistical associations. A well-trained model might suffer from performance degradation when applied to newly observed nodes with different environments. To handle this situation, we propose CounterFactual Graph Anomaly Detection model, CFGAD. In this model, we design a gradient-based separator to disentangle node features into class features and environment features. Then, we present a weight-varying diffusion model to combine class features and environment features from different nodes to generate counterfactual samples. These counterfactual samples will be adopted to enhance model robustness. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our CFGAD.
