We consider representation learning from 3D graphs in which each node is associated with a spatial position in 3D. This is an under explored area of research, and a principled framework is currently lacking. In this work, we propose a generic framework, known as the 3D graph network (3DGN), to provide a unified interface at different levels of granularity for 3D graphs. Built on 3DGN, we propose the spherical message passing (SMP) as a novel and specific scheme for realizing the 3DGN framework in the spherical coordinate system (SCS). We conduct formal analyses and show that the relative location of each node in 3D graphs is uniquely defined in the SMP scheme. Thus, our SMP represents a complete and accurate architecture for learning from 3D graphs in the SCS. We derive physically-based representations of geometric information and propose the SphereNet for learning representations of 3D graphs. We show that existing 3D deep models can be viewed as special cases of the SphereNet. Experimental results demonstrate that the use of complete and accurate 3D information in 3DGN and SphereNet leads to significant performance improvements in prediction tasks.
Graph convolution networks, like message passing graph convolution networks (MPGCNs), have been a powerful tool in representation learning of networked data. However, when data is heterogeneous, most architectures are limited as they employ a single strategy to handle multi-channel graph signals and they typically focus on low-frequency information. In this paper, we present a novel graph convolution operator, termed BankGCN, which keeps benefits of message passing models, but extends their capabilities beyond `low-pass features. It decomposes multi-channel signals on graphs into subspaces and handles particular information in each subspace with an adapted filter. The filters of all subspaces have different frequency responses and together form a filter bank. Furthermore, each filter in the spectral domain corresponds to a message passing scheme, and diverse schemes are implemented via the filter bank. Importantly, the filter bank and the signal decomposition are jointly learned to adapt to the spectral characteristics of data and to target applications. Furthermore, this is implemented almost without extra parameters in comparison with most existing MPGCNs. Experimental results show that the proposed convolution operator permits to achieve excellent performance in graph classification on a collection of benchmark graph datasets.
Graph Neural Network (GNN) has been demonstrated its effectiveness in dealing with non-Euclidean structural data. Both spatial-based and spectral-based GNNs are relying on adjacency matrix to guide message passing among neighbors during feature aggregation. Recent works have mainly focused on powerful message passing modules, however, in this paper, we show that none of the message passing modules is necessary. Instead, we propose a pure multilayer-perceptron-based framework, Graph-MLP with the supervision signal leveraging graph structure, which is sufficient for learning discriminative node representation. In model-level, Graph-MLP only includes multi-layer perceptrons, activation function, and layer normalization. In the loss level, we design a neighboring contrastive (NContrast) loss to bridge the gap between GNNs and MLPs by utilizing the adjacency information implicitly. This design allows our model to be lighter and more robust when facing large-scale graph data and corrupted adjacency information. Extensive experiments prove that even without adjacency information in testing phase, our framework can still reach comparable and even superior performance against the state-of-the-art models in the graph node classification task.
Inferring missing facts in temporal knowledge graphs (TKGs) is a fundamental and challenging task. Previous works have approached this problem by augmenting methods for static knowledge graphs to leverage time-dependent representations. However, these methods do not explicitly leverage multi-hop structural information and temporal facts from recent time steps to enhance their predictions. Additionally, prior work does not explicitly address the temporal sparsity and variability of entity distributions in TKGs. We propose the Temporal Message Passing (TeMP) framework to address these challenges by combining graph neural networks, temporal dynamics models, data imputation and frequency-based gating techniques. Experiments on standard TKG tasks show that our approach provides substantial gains compared to the previous state of the art, achieving a 10.7% average relative improvement in Hits@10 across three standard benchmarks. Our analysis also reveals important sources of variability both within and across TKG datasets, and we introduce several simple but strong baselines that outperform the prior state of the art in certain settings.
In recent studies, neural message passing has proved to be an effective way to design graph neural networks (GNNs), which have achieved state-of-the-art performance in many graph-based tasks. However, current neural-message passing architectures typically need to perform an expensive recursive neighborhood expansion in multiple rounds and consequently suffer from a scalability issue. Moreover, most existing neural-message passing schemes are inflexible since they are restricted to fixed-hop neighborhoods and insensitive to the actual demands of different nodes. We circumvent these limitations by a novel feature-message passing framework, called Graph Multi-layer Perceptron (GMLP), which separates the neural update from the message passing. With such separation, GMLP significantly improves the scalability and efficiency by performing the message passing procedure in a pre-compute manner, and is flexible and adaptive in leveraging node feature messages over various levels of localities. We further derive novel variants of scalable GNNs under this framework to achieve the best of both worlds in terms of performance and efficiency. We conduct extensive evaluations on 11 benchmark datasets, including large-scale datasets like ogbn-products and an industrial dataset, demonstrating that GMLP achieves not only the state-of-art performance, but also high training scalability and efficiency.
Graph neural networks (GNNs) emerged recently as a standard toolkit for learning from data on graphs. Current GNN designing works depend on immense human expertise to explore different message-passing mechanisms, and require manual enumeration to determine the proper message-passing depth. Inspired by the strong searching capability of neural architecture search (NAS) in CNN, this paper proposes Graph Neural Architecture Search (GNAS) with novel-designed search space. The GNAS can automatically learn better architecture with the optimal depth of message passing on the graph. Specifically, we design Graph Neural Architecture Paradigm (GAP) with tree-topology computation procedure and two types of fine-grained atomic operations (feature filtering and neighbor aggregation) from message-passing mechanism to construct powerful graph network search space. Feature filtering performs adaptive feature selection, and neighbor aggregation captures structural information and calculates neighbors statistics. Experiments show that our GNAS can search for better GNNs with multiple message-passing mechanisms and optimal message-passing depth. The searched network achieves remarkable improvement over state-of-the-art manual designed and search-based GNNs on five large-scale datasets at three classical graph tasks.
