The paper proposes a novel Graph-Level Anomaly Detection (GLAD) model called GLADformer, designed to detect anomalies within graph datasets. The existing methods are limited by their receptive fields, failing to capture global features within the graphs. To address this limitation, the authors introduce a multi-perspective hybrid detector that combines two key modules: a Graph Transformer module with global spectrum enhancement and a band-pass spectral GNN message passing module. This approach enables the model to learn balanced and resilient parameter distributions by fusing global features and spectral distribution characteristics. The proposed GLADformer is evaluated on ten real-world datasets from various domains, demonstrating its effectiveness in capturing global anomaly representations and spectral characteristics.

The paper develops a new way to detect unusual patterns in graphs. Graphs are collections of nodes connected by edges. Imagine trying to find a specific abnormal pattern within a huge network of friends on social media or a complex system like the internet. Current methods have limitations when it comes to looking at entire networks, not just local parts. To overcome this, researchers created a special model called GLADformer that combines two important components: one that focuses on global patterns and another that looks at specific features within these patterns. This new approach is tested on real-world data from different areas, showing it can effectively identify unusual patterns in graphs.
