| 2026 | Interpretable and Robust Behavior Abstraction via Environment-Disentangled Heterogeneous GraphabstractTo identify the root causes of attacks, behavior abstraction (BA) converts audit logs into multiple behavior graphs and finds similar ones, which has proven effective in bridging the semantic gap and reducing manual workload. Existing works fail to achieve both interpretability and generalization, while also exhibiting limited robustness when facing adversarial attacks. In this paper, we give the first attempt at interpretable and robust behavior abstraction and propose a novel method called Environment-Disentangled Heterogeneous Graph Neural Network (EDHGNN). Motivated by Information Bottleneck (IB) principle, we propose a Heterogeneous Subgraph Disentanglement (HSD) module to disentangle label-relevant and environmental subgraphs through single optimization. We also introduce an Adapted Graph-Level Attention (AGLA) module to extract minimal sufficient representations from label-relevant subgraphs, a Label-Guided Graph Reconstructor (LGGR) to maximize environmental information coverage via reconstruction, and a Relevance Discriminator (RD) to enhance disentanglement quality. Additionally, we construct a new dataset contains ground-truth explanations and 4,160 behavior graphs. Extensive experiments demonstrate that EDHGNN outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in terms of interpretability and robustness against adversarial attacks. Zhibin Ni, Hai Wan, Xibin Zhao |

| 2026 | Disentangled Generation-Based Prototypical Alignment for Few-Shot Unsupervised Domain Adaptation in Graph-Level Anomaly DetectionabstractGraph-Level Anomaly Detection (GLAD) seeks to identify anomalous graphs within graph datasets, which has significant applications across diverse real-world fields. Most existing GLAD methods are trained in an unsupervised manner due to high costs for labeling, resulting in sub-optimal performance when compared to supervised methods. To fill this gap, we propose a Disentangled Generation-Based Prototypical Alignment (DGPA) method that extends graph-level anomaly detection to Few-Shot Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (FUDA) setting, aiming to identify anomalous graphs from a set of unlabeled graphs (target domain) by using partially labeled graphs from a different but related domain (source domain), which fulfills the practical requirement of transferring anomaly knowledge. This is specifically achieved through a dedicated Disentangled Sample Generation module, which addresses label scarcity by generating faithful samples with disentangled representation learning grounded in Information Bottleneck principle, along with a Graph-based Prototypical Self-Supervision module, which alleviates domain shift by encoding and aligning semantic structures in the shared latent space across domains in a self-supervised manner. Extensive experiments on five benchmark datasets reveal the effectiveness of our proposed DGPA. Zhibin Ni, Chenghao Zhang 0006, Hai Wan, Xibin Zhao |

| 2025 | Robust Heterogeneous Graph Classification for Molecular Property Prediction with Information BottleneckabstractHeterogeneous Graph Neural Networks (HGNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art performance in classifying molecular graphs, capitalizing on their ability to capture rich semantics. However, HGNNs for molecule property prediction exhibit significant susceptibility to adversarial attacks—a challenge that prior research has entirely overlooked. To fill this gap, this paper introduces the first study focused on robust graph-level representation learning tailored for heterogeneous molecular graphs. To achieve this goal, we propose a comprehensive Robust Heterogeneous Graph Classification (RHGC) framework grounded in the Information Bottleneck principle, which aims to identify the most informative and least noisy heterogeneous subgraphs to derive robust, holistic representations. This is specifically accomplished through a dedicated Node Semantic Purifier, which enhances node-level and semantic-level robustness by eliminating label-irrelevant interference using graph stochastic attention and the Hilbert-Schmidt Independence Criterion, along with a Global Graph Disentanglement method, which improves graph-level robustness by addressing information leak. Experiments on three molecular benchmarks demonstrate that RHGC enhances accuracy by an average of 5.06% under all three attack settings and meanwhile by 4.33% on clean data.

| 2025 | Adaptive Gaussian Mixture Model with Hierarchical Propagation for One-Class Graph Fraud DetectionabstractExisting graph fraud detection (GFD) methods have made remarkable progress with well-labeled training samples. However, in real applications, adequate training data may be unavailable due to the high cost of manual annotation and the scarcity of fraud samples. Therefore, we explore the one-class graph fraud detection task for the first time, which trains the model only on normal data and can detect fraud samples during inference. This task faces two main challenges: heterogeneity discrepancy in different relationships and diverse distribution of the normal data. To address the above challenges, we propose a novel one-class GFD method named OC-GFD. We design a hierarchical message propagation mechanism that learns both global features and local features under different relationships to accurately extract node representations from the GNN model. Subsequently, we integrate our model with an adaptive Gaussian mixture module to capture the diverse distribution of normal samples, enhancing the characterization of subtle differences in normal behavior and improving fraud detection accuracy. Experimental results show that OC-GFD outperforms state-of-the-art graph fraud detection and one-class classification approaches on Yelp and Amazon datasets in the one-class scenario.

| 2025 | FG-CIBGC: A Unified Framework for Fine-Grained and Class-Incremental Behavior Graph ClassificationabstractLearning-based Behavior Graph Classification (BGC) is widely used in Internet infrastructure for partitioning and identifying similar behavior graphs, yet its real-world application faces notable challenges. The challenges are: (i) fine-grained emerging behavior graphs, and (ii) incremental model adaptations. To tackle these issues, we propose to (i) mine semantics in multi-source logs using Large Language Models (LLMs) under In-Context Learning (ICL), and (ii) bridge the gap between Out-Of-Distribution (OOD) detection and class-incremental graph learning. Based on these ideas, we develop the first unified framework termed as Fine-Grained and Class-Incremental Behavior Graph Classification (FG-CIBGC ). It consists of two novel modules, i.e., gPartition and gAdapt, that are used for partitioning fine-grained graphs and performing unknown class detection and adaptation, respectively. To validate FG-CIBGC, we introduce a new benchmark, including a 4,992-graph, 32-class dataset from 8 attack scenarios and a novel Edge Intersection over Union (EIoU) metric. Extensive experiments show FG-CIBGC outperforms baselines on fine-grained class-incremental BGC task and generates behavior graphs which enhance downstream tasks.
