Anomaly Detection in Networks via Score-Based Generative Models

Dmitrii Gavrilev, Evgeny Burnaev

Node outlier detection in attributed graphs is a challenging problem for which there is no method that would work well across different datasets. Motivated by the state-of-the-art results of score-based models in graph generative modeling, we propose to incorporate them into the aforementioned problem. Our method achieves competitive results on small-scale graphs. We provide an empirical analysis of the Dirichlet energy, and show that generative models might struggle to accurately reconstruct it.
