Unsupervised Graph Anomaly Detection Algorithms Implemented in Apache Spark

Resumo

The graph anomaly detection problem occurs in many application areas and can be solved by spotting outliers in unstructured collections of multi-dimensional data points, which can be obtained by graph analysis algorithms. We implement the algorithm for the small community analysis and the approximate LOF algorithm based on Locality-Sensitive Hashing, apply the algorithms to a real world graph and evaluate scalability of the algorithms. We use Apache Spark as one of the most popular Big Data frameworks.
