文摘Graph Neural Networks(GNNs)have proven highly effective for graph classification across diverse fields such as social networks,bioinformatics,and finance,due to their capability to learn complex graph structures.However,despite their success,GNNs remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks that can significantly degrade their classification accuracy.Existing adversarial attack strategies primarily rely on label information to guide the attacks,which limits their applicability in scenarios where such information is scarce or unavailable.This paper introduces an innovative unsupervised attack method for graph classification,which operates without relying on label information,thereby enhancing its applicability in a broad range of scenarios.Specifically,our method first leverages a graph contrastive learning loss to learn high-quality graph embeddings by comparing different stochastic augmented views of the graphs.To effectively perturb the graphs,we then introduce an implicit estimator that measures the impact of various modifications on graph structures.The proposed strategy identifies and flips edges with the top-K highest scores,determined by the estimator,to maximize the degradation of the model’s performance.In addition,to defend against such attack,we propose a lightweight regularization-based defense mechanism that is specifically tailored to mitigate the structural perturbations introduced by our attack strategy.It enhances model robustness by enforcing embedding consistency and edge-level smoothness during training.We conduct experiments on six public TU graph classification datasets:NCI1,NCI109,Mutagenicity,ENZYMES,COLLAB,and DBLP_v1,to evaluate the effectiveness of our attack and defense strategies.Under an attack budget of 3,the maximum reduction in model accuracy reaches 6.67%on the Graph Convolutional Network(GCN)and 11.67%on the Graph Attention Network(GAT)across different datasets,indicating that our unsupervised method induces degradation comparable to state-of-the-art supervised attacks.Meanwhile,our defense achieves the highest accuracy recovery of 3.89%(GCN)and 5.00%(GAT),demonstrating improved robustness against structural perturbations.

文摘Network attacks have become a critical issue in the internet security domain.Artificial intelligence technology-based detection methodologies have attracted attention;however,recent studies have struggled to adapt to changing attack patterns and complex network environments.In addition,it is difficult to explain the detection results logically using artificial intelligence.We propose a method for classifying network attacks using graph models to explain the detection results.First,we reconstruct the network packet data into a graphical structure.We then use a graph model to predict network attacks using edge classification.To explain the prediction results,we observed numerical changes by randomly masking and calculating the importance of neighbors,allowing us to extract significant subgraphs.Our experiments on six public datasets demonstrate superior performance with an average F1-score of 0.960 and accuracy of 0.964,outperforming traditional machine learning and other graph models.The visual representation of the extracted subgraphs highlights the neighboring nodes that have the greatest impact on the results,thus explaining detection.In conclusion,this study demonstrates that graph-based models are suitable for network attack detection in complex environments,and the importance of graph neighbors can be calculated to efficiently analyze the results.This approach can contribute to real-world network security analyses and provide a new direction in the field.

文摘Graph Federated Learning(GFL)has shown great potential in privacy protection and distributed intelligence through distributed collaborative training of graph-structured data without sharing raw information.However,existing GFL approaches often lack the capability for comprehensive feature extraction and adaptive optimization,particularly in non-independent and identically distributed(NON-IID)scenarios where balancing global structural understanding and local node-level detail remains a challenge.To this end,this paper proposes a novel framework called GFL-SAR(Graph Federated Collaborative Learning Framework Based on Structural Amplification and Attention Refinement),which enhances the representation learning capability of graph data through a dual-branch collaborative design.Specifically,we propose the Structural Insight Amplifier(SIA),which utilizes an improved Graph Convolutional Network(GCN)to strengthen structural awareness and improve modeling of topological patterns.In parallel,we propose the Attentive Relational Refiner(ARR),which employs an enhanced Graph Attention Network(GAT)to perform fine-grained modeling of node relationships and neighborhood features,thereby improving the expressiveness of local interactions and preserving critical contextual information.GFL-SAR effectively integrates multi-scale features from every branch via feature fusion and federated optimization,thereby addressing existing GFL limitations in structural modeling and feature representation.Experiments on standard benchmark datasets including Cora,Citeseer,Polblogs,and Cora_ML demonstrate that GFL-SAR achieves superior performance in classification accuracy,convergence speed,and robustness compared to existing methods,confirming its effectiveness and generalizability in GFL tasks.

文摘Log anomaly detection is essential for maintaining the reliability and security of large-scale networked systems.Most traditional techniques rely on log parsing in the reprocessing stage and utilize handcrafted features that limit their adaptability across various systems.In this study,we propose a hybrid model,BertGCN,that integrates BERT-based contextual embedding with Graph Convolutional Networks(GCNs)to identify anomalies in raw system logs,thereby eliminating the need for log parsing.TheBERT module captures semantic representations of log messages,while the GCN models the structural relationships among log entries through a text-based graph.This combination enables BertGCN to capture both the contextual and semantic characteristics of log data.BertGCN showed excellent performance on the HDFS and BGL datasets,demonstrating its effectiveness and resilience in detecting anomalies.Compared to multiple baselines,our proposed BertGCN showed improved precision,recall,and F1 scores.
