PyGOD is a Python library for graph outlier detection (anomaly detection). This exciting yet challenging field has many key applications, e.g., detecting suspicious activities in social networks [1] and security systems [2].
PyGOD includes 10+ graph outlier detection algorithms. For consistency and accessibility, PyGOD is developed on top of PyTorch Geometric (PyG) and PyTorch, and follows the API design of PyOD. See examples below for detecting outliers with PyGOD in 5 lines!
PyGOD is featured for:
- Unified APIs, detailed documentation, and interactive examples across various graph-based algorithms.
- Comprehensive coverage of 10+ graph outlier detectors.
- Full support of detections at multiple levels, such as node-, edge-, and graph-level tasks.
- Scalable design for processing large graphs via mini-batch and sampling.
- Streamline data processing with PyG--fully compatible with PyG data objects.
Outlier Detection Using PyGOD with 5 Lines of Code:
# train a dominant detector
from pygod.detector import DOMINANT
model = DOMINANT(num_layers=4, epoch=20) # hyperparameters can be set here
model.fit(train_data) # input data is a PyG data object
# get outlier scores on the training data (transductive setting)
score = model.decision_score_
# predict labels and scores on the testing data (inductive setting)
pred, score = model.predict(test_data, return_score=True)Citing PyGOD:

Note on PyG and PyTorch Installation: PyGOD depends on torch and torch_geometric (including its optional dependencies). To streamline the installation, PyGOD does NOT install these libraries for you. Please install them from the above links for running PyGOD:
- torch>=2.0.0
- torch_geometric>=2.3.0
It is recommended to use pip for installation. Please make sure the latest version is installed, as PyGOD is updated frequently:
pip install pygod # normal install
pip install --upgrade pygod # or update if neededAlternatively, you could clone and run setup.py file:
git clone https://github.com/pygod-team/pygod.git
cd pygod
pip install .Required Dependencies:
- python>=3.8
- numpy>=1.24.3
- scikit-learn>=1.2.2
- scipy>=1.10.1
- networkx>=3.1
"A Blitz Introduction" demonstrates the basic API of PyGOD using the DOMINANT detector. It is noted that the API across all other algorithms are consistent/similar.
Full API Reference: (https://docs.pygod.org). API cheatsheet for all detectors:
- fit(data): Fit the detector with train data.
- predict(data): Predict on test data (train data if not provided) using the fitted detector.
Key Attributes of a fitted detector:
- decision_score_: The outlier scores of the input data. Outliers tend to have higher scores.
- label_: The binary labels of the input data. 0 stands for inliers and 1 for outliers.
- threshold_: The determined threshold for binary classification. Scores above the threshold are outliers.
Input of PyGOD: Please pass in a PyG Data object. See PyG data processing examples.
