Anomaly Detection on Attributed Networks via Contrastive Self-Supervised Learning

Yixin Liu, Zhao Li, Shirui Pan, Chen Gong, Chuan Zhou, George Karypis

Summary: This article introduces a novel Contrastive self-supervised Learning framework for Anomaly detection on attributed networks (CoLA). The framework fully utilizes local information from network data by sampling a new type of contrastive instance pair, capturing the relationship between each node and its neighboring substructure in an unsupervised manner. A well-designed graph neural network (GNN)-based contrastive learning model is proposed to learn informative embeddings from high-dimensional attributes and local structures, measuring the agreement of each instance pair with its outputted scores.

Summary: Due to limitations of Pythagorean fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy sets, a new fuzzy set called q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (q-ROFS) has been developed to address restrictions in multicriteria decision making (MCDM). This study extended two MCDM methods under q-ROFS, resulting in q-rung orthopair fuzzy-weighted zero-inconsistency (q-ROFWZIC) and q-rung orthopair fuzzy decision by opinion score method (q-ROFDOSM). The methodology involved two phases and was tested on a COVID-19 vaccine distribution case study, showing systematic ranking and sensitivity analysis results.
