Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have shown to be powerful tools for graph analytics. The key idea is recursively propagate and aggregate information along the edges of given graph. Despite their success, however, existing GNNs are usually sensitive quality input Real-world graphs often noisy contain task-irrelevant edges, which may lead suboptimal generalization performance in learned GNN models. In this paper, we propose PTDNet, a parameterized topological denoising network, improve robustness...

Contrastive learning has been widely applied to graph representation learning, where the view generators play a vital role in generating effective contrastive samples. Most of existing methods employ pre-defined generation methods, e.g., node drop or edge perturbation, which usually cannot adapt input data preserve original semantic structures well. To address this issue, we propose novel framework named Automated Graph Learning (AutoGCL) paper. Specifically, AutoGCL employs set learnable...

Node classification is an important research topic in graph learning. Graph neural networks (GNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art performance of node classification. However, existing GNNs address the problem where samples for different classes are balanced; while many real-world scenarios, some may much fewer instances than others. Directly training a GNN classifier this case would under-represent from those minority and result sub-optimal performance. Therefore, it very to develop...

Edges in real-world graphs are typically formed by a variety of factors and carry diverse relation semantics. For example, connections social network could indicate friendship, being colleagues, or living the same neighborhood. However, these latent usually concealed behind mere edge existence due to data collection graph formation processes. Despite rapid developments learning over years, most models take holistic approach treat all edges as equal. One major difficulty disentangling is lack...

Despite recent progress in Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), explaining predictions made by GNNs remains a challenging and nascent problem. The leading method mainly considers the local explanations, i.e., important subgraph structure node features, to interpret why GNN model makes prediction for single instance, e.g. or graph. As result, explanation generated is painstakingly customized at instance level. unique interpreting each independently not sufficient provide global understanding of...

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have demonstrated significant success in learning from graph-structured data across various domains. Despite their great successful, one critical challenge is often overlooked by existing works, i.e., the of message propagation that can generalize effectively to underrepresented graph regions. These minority regions exhibit irregular homophily/heterophily patterns and diverse neighborhood class distributions, resulting ambiguity. In this work, we investigate...

Joint clustering of multiple networks has been shown to be more accurate than performing on individual separately. This is because multi-network algorithms typically assume there a common structure shared by all networks, and different can provide compatible complementary information for uncovering this underlying structure. However, assumption too strict hold in many emerging applications, where usually have diverse data distributions. More popularly, the consideration belong groups. Only...
