This is an unrefereed preprint introducing GLASS, a machine learning framework for graph-level anomaly detection using graph-language alignment on a hypersphere. The work reports computational validation across twelve benchmarks with claimed superior average AUROC and rank relative to baselines, but has not undergone peer review and does not present clinical validation, prospective testing, or outcome data relevant to medical practice.

We introduce GLASS, a framework for graph-level anomaly detection (GLAD) that achieves robust cross-domain transferability through graph-language alignment on the unit hypersphere. GLASS builds a unified representation space by aligning a structure-aware graph encoder with an instruction-aware text embedding via a multi-slice soft cosine objective. Our framework serializes local, global, and semantic graph properties into a compact Graph Descriptor Prompt (GraphDP), creating a text bridge that enables domain-agnostic anomaly scoring. By enforcing multi-scale consistency through Matryoshka representation slices, the model captures anomalous deviations at multiple levels of granularity. For scoring, we formulate anomaly detection as density estimation on the aligned hypersphere and introduce Spherical Multi-Modal Scoring (SMS), which instantiates von Mises-Fisher kernel density estimators in both graph and text embedding spaces. This probabilistic formulation recovers angular k-nearest-neighbor scoring as a high-concentration limiting case and provides a principled fusion of structural and semantic anomaly signals. The shared text embedding space further serves as a cross-domain bridge: by encoding a target domain's GraphDP without target-domain training data, GLASS performs zero-shot anomaly detection, and with only a handful of normal examples, few-shot adaptation via reference-set calibration. Across twelve benchmarks and three meta-domains, GLASS obtains the best average AUROC and rank compared with recent advanced GLAD baselines and enables effective cross-domain transfer.
