Zusammenfassung:Graph anomaly detection aims to identify unusual patterns or structures in graph-structured data. Most existing research focuses on anomalous nodes in ordinary graphs with pairwise relationships. However, complex real-world systems often involve relationships that go beyond pairwise relationships, and insufficient attention is paid to hypergraph anomaly detection, especially anomalous hyperedge detection. Some existing methods for researching hypergraphs involve transforming hypergraphs into ordinary graphs for learning, which can result in poor detection performance due to the loss of high-order information. We propose a new method for Anomalous Hyperedge Detection on Symmetric Line Expansion (AHD-SLE). The SLE of a hypergraph is an ordinary graph with pairwise relationships and can be backmapped to the hypergraph, so the SLE is able to preserve the higher-order information of the hypergraph. The AHD-SLE first maps the hypergraph to the SLE; then, the information is aggregated by Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) in the SLE. After that, the hyperedge embedding representation is obtained through a backmapping operation. Finally, an anomaly function is designed to detect anomalous hyperedges using the hyperedge embedding representation. Experiments on five different types of real hypergraph datasets show that AHD-SLE outperforms the baseline algorithm in terms of Area Under the receiver operating characteristic Curve(AUC) and Recall metrics.
