Anomaly analytics is a popular and vital task in various research contexts,
which has been studied for several decades. At the same time, deep learning has
shown its capacity in solving many graph-based tasks like, node classification,
link prediction, and graph classification. Recently, many studies are extending
graph learning models for solving anomaly analytics problems, resulting in
beneficial advances in graph-based anomaly analytics techniques. In this
survey, we provide a comprehensive overview of graph learning methods for
anomaly analytics tasks. We classify them into four categories based on their
model architectures, namely graph convolutional network (GCN), graph attention
network (GAT), graph autoencoder (GAE), and other graph learning models. The
differences between these methods are also compared in a systematic manner.
Furthermore, we outline several graph-based anomaly analytics applications
across various domains in the real world. Finally, we discuss five potential
future research directions in this rapidly growing field
