Graph Contrastive and Supervised Anomaly Detection Scaling on Heterophilic Graphs

This report synthesises findings from 13 peer-reviewed papers addressing the following research question: How do graph contrastive anomaly detection models scale with graph size compared to supervised methods when evaluated on heterophilic graphs using the F1 score as the primary metric. With a long history of traditional Graph Anomaly Detection (GAD) algorithms and recently popular Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), it is still not clear (1) how they perform under a standard comprehensive setting, (2) whether GNNs can outperform traditional algorithms such as tree. 6 claims were extracted from source literature; 5 were independently verified against retrieved documents. An automated multi-reviewer quality assessment produced a score of 7.9/10. This report is a machine-generated literature synthesis and does not constitute original research.
