SAD: Semi-Supervised Anomaly Detection on Dynamic Graphs
Anomaly detection aims to distinguish abnormal instances that deviate
significantly from the majority of benign ones. As instances that appear in the
real world are naturally connected and can be represented with graphs, graph
neural networks become increasingly popular in tackling the anomaly detection
problem. Despite the promising results, research on anomaly detection has
almost exclusively focused on static graphs while the mining of anomalous
patterns from dynamic graphs is rarely studied but has significant application
value. In addition, anomaly detection is typically tackled from semi-supervised
perspectives due to the lack of sufficient labeled data. However, most proposed
methods are limited to merely exploiting labeled data, leaving a large number
of unlabeled samples unexplored. In this work, we present semi-supervised
anomaly detection (SAD), an end-to-end framework for anomaly detection on
dynamic graphs. By a combination of a time-equipped memory bank and a
pseudo-label contrastive learning module, SAD is able to fully exploit the
potential of large unlabeled samples and uncover underlying anomalies on
evolving graph streams. Extensive experiments on four real-world datasets
demonstrate that SAD efficiently discovers anomalies from dynamic graphs and
outperforms existing advanced methods even when provided with only little
labeled data.Comment: Accepted to IJCAI'23. Code will be available at

HeteroNet: Heterophily-aware Representation Learning on Heterogenerous Graphs
Real-world graphs are typically complex, exhibiting heterogeneity in the
global structure, as well as strong heterophily within local neighborhoods.
While a growing body of literature has revealed the limitations of common graph
neural networks (GNNs) in handling homogeneous graphs with heterophily, little
work has been conducted on investigating the heterophily properties in the
context of heterogeneous graphs. To bridge this research gap, we identify the
heterophily in heterogeneous graphs using metapaths and propose two practical
metrics to quantitatively describe the levels of heterophily. Through in-depth
investigations on several real-world heterogeneous graphs exhibiting varying
levels of heterophily, we have observed that heterogeneous graph neural
networks (HGNNs), which inherit many mechanisms from GNNs designed for
homogeneous graphs, fail to generalize to heterogeneous graphs with heterophily
or low level of homophily. To address the challenge, we present HeteroNet,
a heterophily-aware HGNN that incorporates both masked metapath prediction and
masked label prediction tasks to effectively and flexibly handle both
homophilic and heterophilic heterogeneous graphs. We evaluate the performance
of HeteroNet on five real-world heterogeneous graph benchmarks with varying
levels of heterophily. The results demonstrate that HeteroNet outperforms
strong baselines in the semi-supervised node classification task, providing
valuable insights into effectively handling more complex heterogeneous graphs.Comment: Preprin
Understanding the Electron Beam Resilience of Two-Dimensional Conjugated Metal–Organic Frameworks
Knowledge of the atomic structure of layer-stacked two-dimensional conjugated metal–organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs) is an essential prerequisite for establishing their structure–property correlation. For this, atomic resolution imaging is often the method of choice. In this paper, we gain a better understanding of the main properties contributing to the electron beam resilience and the achievable resolution in the high-resolution TEM images of 2D c-MOFs, which include chemical composition, density, and conductivity of the c-MOF structures. As a result, sub-angstrom resolution of 0.95 Å has been achieved for the most stable 2D c-MOF of the considered structures, Cu3(BHT) (BHT = benzenehexathiol), at an accelerating voltage of 80 kV in a spherical and chromatic aberration-corrected TEM. Complex damage mechanisms induced in Cu3(BHT) by the elastic interactions with the e-beam have been explained using detailed ab initio molecular dynamics calculations. Experimental and calculated knock-on damage thresholds are in good agreement
Interfacial Synthesis of Layer-Oriented 2D Conjugated Metal-Organic Framework Films towards Directional Charge Transport
The development of layer-oriented two-dimensional conjugated metal-organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs) enables an access to direct charge transport, dial-in lateral/vertical electronic devices and unveil transport mechanisms, but remains a significant synthetic challenge. Here we report the novel synthesis of metal-phthalocyanine-based p-type semiconducting 2D c-MOF films (Cu2[PcM-O8], M=Cu or Fe) with an unprecedented edge-on layer-orientation at the air/water interface. The edge-on structure for-mation is guided by the pre-organization of metal-phthalocyanine ligands, whose basal plane is perpendicular to the water surface due to their π-π interaction and hydrophobicity. Benefiting from the unique layer orientation, we are able to investigate the lateral and vertical conductivities by DC methods, and thus demonstrate an anisotropic charge transport in the resulting Cu2[PcCu-O8] film. The directional conductivity studies combined with theoretical calculation identify that the intrinsic conductivity is dominated by charge transfer along the interlayer pathway. Moreover, a macroscopic (cm2-size) Hall-effect measurement reveals a Hall mobility of ~4.4 cm2 V-1 s-1 for the obtained Cu2[PcCu-O8] film. The orientation control in semiconducting 2D c-MOFs will enable the develop-ment of various optoelectronic applications and the exploration of unique transport properties
Heating Quality and Stability of Aqueous Enzymatic Extraction of Fatty Acid-Balanced Oil in Comparison with Other Blended Oils
The heating performance of enzyme-assisted aqueous processing-extracted blended oil (EAEPO), hexane-extracted blended oil (HEBO), and three kinds of blended oils was investigated by varying the heating times. Oil degradation was monitored by analysis of the acid value (AV), peroxide value (PV), p-anisidine value (p-AV), color, and trans-fatty acid composition. The fatty acid ratios of EAEPO, HEBO, and the three kinds of blended oils were very similar (0.27 : 1.03 : 0.96, 0.27 : 1.08 : 1.16, 0.27 : 0.65 : 0.8, 0.27 : 0.6 : 0.84, and 0.27 : 0.61 : 0.79, resp.). The AV and color increased in proportion to the heating time for all the oils. There was a rapid increase in the PV and p-AV of EAEPO and HEBO after heating for only 1 h, whereas the other three blended oils showed a rapid increase after heating for 2 h or 6 h. Despite the highest trans-fatty acid content found for HEBO, this content was relatively low and remained low up to a heating time of 8 h. It was found that after heating, a fatty acid ratio relatively close to its ideal value (0.27 : 0.48 : 0.49) was maintained by EAEPO, which indicates that EAEPO is tolerant to heat treatment and is suitable for maintaining a healthy diet
Soy/whey protein isolates: interfacial properties and effects on the stability of oil‐in‐water emulsions
A Study of Structural Change during In Vitro Digestion of Heated Soy Protein Isolates
Use of soy protein isolate (SPI) as the encapsulating material in emulsions is uncommon due to its low solubility and emulsification potential. The aim of this study was to improve these properties of SPI via heat treatment-induced modifications. We modified SPI under various heating conditions and demonstrated the relationship between structure and in vitro digestibility in simulated gastric fluid by means of Sodium Dodecyl Sulphide-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Raman spectroscopy. It was found that the degree of hydrolysis (DH) of SPI increased and then decreased upon increasing exposure to heat. Different subunits of conglycinin were digested and degraded by pepsin. Heat treatment improved digestion characteristics that would reduce e the unnecessary loss of protein, offering potential for the efficient delivery of nutrients in nanoemulsions. These results could have significant relevance for research groups that are interested in the biological interactions and activity of functional SPI
Enriching and Quantifying Porous Single Layer 2D Polymers by Exfoliation of Chemically Modified van der Waals Crystals
2D polymer sheets with six positively charged pyrylium groups at each pore edge in a stacked single crystal can be transformed into a 2D polymer with six pyridines per pore by exposure to gaseous ammonia. This reaction furnishes still a crystalline material with tunable protonation degree at regular nano‐sized pores promising as separation membrane. The exfoliation is compared for both 2D polymers with the latter being superior. Its liquid phase exfoliation yields nanosheet dispersions, which can be size‐selected using centrifugation cascades. Monolayer contents of ≈30 % are achieved with ≈130 nm sized sheets in mg quantities, corresponding to tens of trillions of monolayers. Quantification of nanosheet sizes, layer number and mass shows that this exfoliation is comparable to graphite. Thus, we expect that recent advances in exfoliation of graphite or inorganic crystals (e.g. scale‐up, printing etc.) can be directly applied to this 2D polymer as well as to covalent organic frameworks.ISSN:1433-7851ISSN:1521-3773ISSN:0570-083
