Disentangled Generation-Based Prototypical Alignment for Few-Shot Unsupervised Domain Adaptation in Graph-Level Anomaly Detection

Graph-Level Anomaly Detection (GLAD) seeks to identify anomalous graphs within graph datasets, which has significant applications across diverse real-world fields. Most existing GLAD methods are trained in an unsupervised manner due to high costs for labeling, resulting in sub-optimal performance when compared to supervised methods. To fill this gap, we propose a Disentangled Generation-Based Prototypical Alignment (DGPA) method that extends graph-level anomaly detection to Few-Shot Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (FUDA) setting, aiming to identify anomalous graphs from a set of unlabeled graphs (target domain) by using partially labeled graphs from a different but related domain (source domain), which fulfills the practical requirement of transferring anomaly knowledge. This is specifically achieved through a dedicated Disentangled Sample Generation module, which addresses label scarcity by generating faithful samples with disentangled representation learning grounded in Information Bottleneck principle, along with a Graph-based Prototypical Self-Supervision module, which alleviates domain shift by encoding and aligning semantic structures in the shared latent space across domains in a self-supervised manner. Extensive experiments on five benchmark datasets reveal the effectiveness of our proposed DGPA.
