We present, GEM, the first heterogeneous graph neural network approach for
detecting malicious accounts at Alipay, one of the world's leading mobile
cashless payment platform. Our approach, inspired from a connected subgraph
approach, adaptively learns discriminative embeddings from heterogeneous
account-device graphs based on two fundamental weaknesses of attackers, i.e.
device aggregation and activity aggregation. For the heterogeneous graph
consists of various types of nodes, we propose an attention mechanism to learn
the importance of different types of nodes, while using the sum operator for
modeling the aggregation patterns of nodes in each type. Experiments show that
our approaches consistently perform promising results compared with competitive
methods over time.
