torch_geometric.datasets.EllipticBitcoinDataset

class EllipticBitcoinDataset(root: str, transform: Optional[Callable] = None, pre_transform: Optional[Callable] = None, force_reload: bool = False)[source]

Bases: InMemoryDataset

The Elliptic Bitcoin dataset of Bitcoin transactions from the “Anti-Money Laundering in Bitcoin: Experimenting with Graph Convolutional Networks for Financial Forensics” paper.

EllipticBitcoinDataset maps Bitcoin transactions to real entities belonging to licit categories (exchanges, wallet providers, miners, licit services, etc.) versus illicit ones (scams, malware, terrorist organizations, ransomware, Ponzi schemes, etc.)

There exists 203,769 node transactions and 234,355 directed edge payments flows, with two percent of nodes (4,545) labelled as illicit, and twenty-one percent of nodes (42,019) labelled as licit. The remaining transactions are unknown.

Parameters:

  • root (str) – Root directory where the dataset should be saved.

  • transform (callable, optional) – A function/transform that takes in an torch_geometric.data.Data object and returns a transformed version. The data object will be transformed before every access. (default: None)

  • pre_transform (callable, optional) – A function/transform that takes in an torch_geometric.data.Data object and returns a transformed version. The data object will be transformed before being saved to disk. (default: None)

  • force_reload (bool, optional) – Whether to re-process the dataset. (default: False)
