An Improved Reconstruction-Based Multiattribute Contrastive Learning for Digital-Twin-Enabled Industrial System

Digital twin (DT) is a promising technology for responding to Industry 4.0 and realizing comprehensive automation and virtualization. In the Web3.0-powered 5G/6G era, the expansion of the industrial data and closer interaction among cross-industrial entities pose new security challenges for DT industrial systems. As a prevalent computing paradigm, Graph Anomaly Detection provides an effective solution to ensure the security of DT industrial systems. However, the existing unsupervised graph anomaly detection methods tend to treat multiple graph attributes in isolation during the reconstruction process, resulting in insufficient semantics and suboptimal reconstruction performance. To overcome these challenges, we propose a multiattribute contrastive learning framework, which realizes graph anomaly detection by capturing both graph attribute patterns and their hidden relationships. First, we use an improved multiattribute aligned reconstruction approach to represent the anomaly information effectively. Besides that, the positive instance aggregation-based contrastive constraints are proposed, which can reduce the loss generated by mappings between different data dimension in feature representation space. Finally, to verify our proposal, extensive experiments have been conducted on five benchmark datasets, and the results show that our method obtains the state-of-the-art performance.
