• FN-GNN: A Novel Graph Embedding Approach for Enhancing Graph Neural Networks in Network Intrusion Detection Systems (2024) · Applied Sciences · cited 60× · doi

  Although numerous deep learning techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and graph neural networks (GNNs) have been applied to detect various network attacks, they face limitations due to the lack of standardized input data, affecting model accuracy and performance.

• Graph Neural Networks for Financial Fraud and Anomaly Detection (2026) · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · doi

  The paper identifies a gap in existing fraud detection methods, which often miss relational signals in transaction graphs. The paper notes that traditional detectors, such as gradient boosted trees, treat each transaction as an independent feature vector. The paper recognizes the need for techniques that can address extreme class imbalance and camouflage.

• Intelligent Credit Card Fraud Detection (2026) · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · doi

  Future research should focus on developing more advanced machine learning and hybrid methods for fraud detection. The use of graph-based approaches and deep learning models, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), should be explored. The development of more effective methods for handling imbalanced datasets is a future research direction.
