GRAM: An Interpretable Approach for Graph Anomaly Detection using Gradient Attention Maps

Detecting unusual patterns in graph data is a crucial task in data mining. However, existing methods face challenges in consistently achieving satisfactory performance and often lack interpretability, which hinders our understanding of anomaly detection decisions. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to graph anomaly detection that leverages the power of interpretability to enhance performance. Specifically, our method extracts an attention map derived from gradients of graph neural networks, which serves as a basis for scoring anomalies. Notably, our approach is flexible and can be used in various anomaly detection settings. In addition, we conduct theoretical analysis using synthetic data to validate our method and gain insights into its decision-making process. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, we extensively evaluate our approach against state-of-the-art graph anomaly detection techniques on real-world graph classification and wireless network datasets. The results consistently demonstrate the superior performance of our method compared to the baselines.
