New defense method SimGuard combats GNN backdoor attacks

Researchers have developed a new defense method called SimGuard to protect Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) from backdoor attacks. The method leverages an over-similarity observation, noting that malicious triggers in GNNs often share excessive similarity in features and structure with clean nodes. SimGuard uses a similarity-based metric to detect these triggers and employs contrastive learning to train a detector that effectively separates malicious triggers from legitimate data, thereby preserving the network's performance on clean nodes.
