Abstract

Anomalous behaviors in social networks can lead to privacy leaks and the spread of false information. In this paper, we propose an anomalous behavior detection method based on optimized graph embedding representation. Specifically, the user behavior logs are first extracted into a social network user behavior temporal knowledge graph, based on which the graph embedding representation method is used to transform the network topology and temporal information in the user behavior knowledge graph into structural embedding vectors and temporal information embedding vectors, and the hybrid attention mechanism is used to merge the two types of vectors to obtain the final entity embedding to complete the prediction and complementation of the temporal knowledge graph of user behavior. We use graph neural networks, which use the temporal information of user behaviors as a time constraint and capture both user behavioral and semantic information. It converts the two parts of information into vectors for concatenation and linear transformation to obtain a comprehensive representation vector of the whole subgraph, as well as joint deep learning models to evaluate abnormal behavior. Finally, we perform experiments on the Yelp dataset to validate that our method achieves a 9.56% improvement in the F1-score.
