Abstract

As fraudulent activities have shot up manifolds, fraud detection has emerged as a pivotal process in different fields (e.g., e-commerce, online reviews, and social networks). Since interactions among entities provide valuable insights into fraudulent activities, such behaviors can be naturally represented as graph structures, where graph neural networks (GNNs) have been developed as prominent models to boost the efficacy of fraud detection. In graph-based fraud detection, handling imbalanced datasets poses a significant challenge, as the minority class often gets overshadowed, diminishing the performance of conventional GNNs. While oversampling has recently been adapted for imbalanced graphs, it contends with issues such as graph heterophily and noisy edge synthesis. To address these limitations, this paper introduces DOS-GNN, incorporating Dual-feature aggregation with Over-Sampling to advance GNNs for class-imbalanced fraud detection on graphs. This model exploits feature separation and dual-feature aggregation to mitigate the impact of heterophily and acquire refined node embeddings that facilitate fraud oversampling to balance class distribution without the need for edge synthesis. Extensive experiments on four large and real-world fraud datasets demonstrate that DOS-GNN can significantly improve fraud detection performance on graphs with different imbalance ratios and homophily ratios, outperforming state-of-the-art GNN models.
