Data Augmentation Strategies and Robustness in Graph Anomaly Detection Metrics

Abstract

Abstract: This report synthesises findings from 7 peer-reviewed papers addressing the following research question: How does the choice of data augmentation strategy impact the robustness of F1 and AUC metrics for graph anomaly detection models across varying graph densities. Detecting anomalies in data is a vital task, with numerous high-impact applications in areas such as security, finance, health care, and law enforcement. While numerous techniques have been developed in past years for spotting outliers and anomalies in unstructured collections. 12 claims were extracted from source literature; 10 were independently verified against retrieved documents. An automated multi-reviewer quality assessment produced a score of 8.0/10. This report is a machine-generated literature synthesis and does not constitute original research.
