GNN-EADD: Graph Neural Network-Based E-Commerce Anomaly Detection via Dual-Stage Learning by Zhouhang Shao, Xuran Wang, Enkai Ji, Shiyang Chen, Jin Wang

“…Our key contributions include: 1) A heterogeneous graph representation incorporating products, sellers, and buyers as nodes with their relationships as edges; 2) A novel dual-stage learning framework combining unsupervised graph embedding with semi-supervised fine-tuning; and 3) An attention mechanism that effectively captures complex patterns within network structures. Extensive experiments on a large-scale Amazon dataset demonstrate that GNN-EADD significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in terms of anomaly detection accuracy, precision, and recall, while showing robustness to various types of anomalies and scalability to large networks.…”
