Claim 18:
19. A computer-readable storage medium for storing computer-readable instructions, wherein a processing system executing the computer-readable instructions performs operations comprising:
associating respective nodes with the entities that engage in network activity over a computing network;
identifying respective feature sets for the plurality of entities, each feature set including features describing characteristics of engagement by a particular entity with content that is deliverable over the computing network via websites hosted by the computing network;
identifying a plurality of edges, each edge in the plurality of edges connecting two entities in the plurality of entities having feature sets that satisfy a prescribed test for similarity;
labeling at least some of the entities with labels, each label indicating whether a corresponding entity is a bot that engages in collaborative activity over the computing network with other bots,
the nodes, edges, and labels defining a training set;
training the graph neural network based on the training set, to provide a trained graph neural network for use by an abuse control system.
