Various methods to deal with graph data have been proposed in recent years. However, most of these methods focus on graph feature aggregation rather than graph pooling. Besides, the existing top-k selection graph pooling methods have a few problems. First, to construct the pooled graph topology, current top-k selection methods evaluate the importance of the node from a single perspective only, which is simplistic and unobjective. Second, the feature information of unselected nodes is directly lost during the pooling process, which inevitably leads to a massive loss of graph feature information. To solve these problems mentioned above, we propose a novel graph self-adaptive pooling method with the following objectives: (1) to construct a reasonable pooled graph topology, structure and feature information of the graph are considered simultaneously, which provide additional veracity and objectivity in node selection; and (2) to make the pooled nodes contain sufficiently effective graph information, node feature information is aggregated before discarding the unimportant nodes; thus, the selected nodes contain information from neighbor nodes, which can enhance the use of features of the unselected nodes. Experimental results on four different datasets demonstrate that our method is effective in graph classification and outperforms state-of-the-art graph pooling methods.

Advanced methods of applying deep learning to structured data such as graphs have been proposed in recent years. In particular, studies have focused on generalizing convolutional neural networks to graph data, which includes redefining the convolution and the downsampling (pooling) operations for graphs. The method of generalizing the convolution operation to graphs has been proven to improve performance and is widely used. However, the method of applying downsampling to graphs is still difficult to perform and has room for improvement. In this paper, we propose a graph pooling method based on self-attention. Self-attention using graph convolution allows our pooling method to consider both node features and graph topology. To ensure a fair comparison, the same training procedures and model architectures were used for the existing pooling methods and our method. The experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves superior graph classification performance on the benchmark datasets using a reasonable number of parameters.
Recently, there has been considerable research interest in graph clustering aimed at data partition using the graph information. However, one limitation of the most of graph-based methods is that they assume the graph structure to operate is fixed and reliable. And there are inevitably some edges in the graph that are not conducive to graph clustering, which we call spurious edges. This paper is the first attempt to employ graph pooling technique for node clustering and we propose a novel dual graph embedding network (DGEN), which is designed as a two-step graph encoder connected by a graph pooling layer to learn the graph embedding. In our model, it is assumed that if a node and its nearest neighboring node are close to the same clustering center, this node is an informative node and this edge can be considered as a cluster-friendly edge. Based on this assumption, the neighbor cluster pooling (NCPool) is devised to select the most informative subset of nodes and the corresponding edges based on the distance of nodes and their nearest neighbors to the cluster centers. This can effectively alleviate the impact of the spurious edges on the clustering. Finally, to obtain the clustering assignment of all nodes, a classifier is trained using the clustering results of the selected nodes. Experiments on five benchmark graph datasets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over state-of-the-art algorithms.
A self-adaptive system can modify its own structure and behavior at runtime based on its perception of the environment, of itself and of its requirements. To develop a self-adaptive system, software developers codify knowledge about the system and its environment, as well as how adaptation actions impact on the system. However, the codified knowledge may be insufficient due to design time uncertainty, and thus a self-adaptive system may execute adaptation actions that do not have the desired effect. Online learning is an emerging approach to address design time uncertainty by employing machine learning at runtime. Online learning accumulates knowledge at runtime by, for instance, exploring not-yet executed adaptation actions. We address two specific problems with respect to online learning for self-adaptive systems. First, the number of possible adaptation actions can be very large. Existing online learning techniques randomly explore the possible adaptation actions, but this can lead to slow convergence of the learning process. Second, the possible adaptation actions can change as a result of system evolution. Existing online learning techniques are unaware of these changes and thus do not explore new adaptation actions, but explore adaptation actions that are no longer valid. We propose using feature models to give structure to the set of adaptation actions and thereby guide the exploration process during online learning. Experimental results involving four real-world systems suggest that considering the hierarchical structure of feature models may speed up convergence by 7.2% on average. Considering the differences between feature models before and after an evolution step may speed up convergence by 64.6% on average. [...]
Graph convolutional neural networks (GCNNs) are a powerful extension of deep learning techniques to graph-structured data problems. We empirically evaluate several pooling methods for GCNNs, and combinations of those graph pooling methods with three different architectures: GCN, TAGCN, and GraphSAGE. We confirm that graph pooling, especially DiffPool, improves classification accuracy on popular graph classification datasets and find that, on average, TAGCN achieves comparable or better accuracy than GCN and GraphSAGE, particularly for datasets with larger and sparser graph structures.
Access to large corpora with strongly labelled sound events is expensive and difficult in engineering applications. Much research turns to address the problem of how to detect both the types and the timestamps of sound events with weak labels that only specify the types. This task can be treated as a multiple instance learning (MIL) problem, and the key to it is the design of a pooling function. In this paper, we propose an adaptive power pooling function which can automatically adapt to various sound sources. On two public datasets, the proposed power pooling function outperforms the state-of-the-art linear softmax pooling on both coarsegrained and fine-grained metrics. Notably, it improves the event-based F1 score (which evaluates the detection of event onsets and offsets) by 11.4% and 10.2% relative on the two datasets. While this paper focuses on sound event detection applications, the proposed method can be applied to MIL tasks in other domains.
