A new research paper introduces an Augmented Temporal-aware Graph Attention Network (ATGAT) for detecting cryptocurrency transaction fraud.
ATGAT aims to address the complexities and class imbalance in fraudulent transaction detection through advanced temporal embedding, temporal-aware triple attention mechanism, and weighted BCE loss for class imbalance.
Experiments on the Elliptic++ cryptocurrency dataset show that ATGAT achieves an AUC of 0.9130, outperforming traditional methods like XGBoost, GCN, and standard GAT in fraud detection.
The research highlights the effectiveness of temporal awareness and triple attention mechanisms in enhancing graph neural networks for fraud detection, offering more reliable tools for financial institutions.
