Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Many networks in the real world are dynamic and temporal wherein relationships among nodes change with time. Technologies to detect anomalies in dynamic networks are crucial to investigate various problems of society. The Laplacian anomaly detection (LAD) has been proposed as an innovative method for detecting anomalies in dynamic networks. LAD calculates the anomaly score, i.e., an indicator of the degree of deviation from the normal state, at each time from timeseries data for some eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix, which represents the structure of networks. Using the calculated anomaly scores, LAD detects the anomaly in the dynamic network. The original LAD uses only the large eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix; other eigenvalue combinations have not been discussed for anomaly detection. Based on spectral graph theory, small eigenvalues contain relevant information about the global structure of a network. Therefore, small eigenvalues are crucial for detecting large-scale anomalies in dynamic networks, and their use should improve the accuracy of LAD. Herein, we propose an improvement that uses not only the large eigenvalues but also the small eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix for calculating anomaly scores in LAD. Through the evaluation, we clarify that the proposed improvement can significantly improve the accuracy of anomaly detection in LAD.
