Temporal Heterogeneous Graph Transformer for Credit Card Fraud Detection
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.07100v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Credit card fraud detection typically relies on tabular features, while repeated attributes can also provide useful relational signals. This paper proposes THGT-FD, a Temporal Heterogeneous Graph Transformer for Fraud Detection. Each transaction is represented using one transaction token and six types of relation tokens and incorporates Time2Vec encoding into the transaction representation. A Transformer learns the interactions among these tokens within each individual transaction and then outputs a fraud probability. Experiments were conducted
