Anomaly, event, and fraud detection in large network datasets

Detecting anomalies and events in data is a vital task, with numerous applications in security, finance, health care, law enforcement, and many others. While many techniques have been developed in past years for spotting outliers and anomalies in unstructured collections of multi-dimensional points, with graph data becoming ubiquitous, techniques for structured graph data have been of focus recently. As objects in graphs have long-range correlations, novel technology has been developed for abnormality detection in graph data.
