Learning accurate low-dimensional embeddings for a network is a crucial task as it facilitates many downstream network analytics tasks. For large networks, the trained embeddings often require a significant amount of space to store, making storage and processing a challenge. Building on our previous work on semi-supervised network embedding, we develop d-SNEQ, a differentiable DNN-based quantisation method for network embedding. d-SNEQ incorporates a rank loss to equip the learned quantisation codes with rich high-order information and is able to substantially compress the size of trained embeddings, thus reducing storage footprint and accelerating retrieval speed. We also propose a new evaluation metric, path prediction, to fairly and more directly evaluate model performance on the preservation of high-order information. Our evaluation on four real-world networks of diverse characteristics shows that d-SNEQ outperforms a number of state-of-the-art embedding methods in link prediction, path prediction, node classification, and node recommendation while being far more space- and time-efficient.

We study the problem of semi-supervised learning on graphs, for which graph neural networks (GNNs) have been extensively explored. However, most existing GNNs inherently suffer from the limitations of over-smoothing, non-robustness, and weak-generalization when labeled nodes are scarce. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective framework---GRAPH RANDOM NEURAL NETWORKS (GRAND)---to address these issues. In GRAND, we first design a random propagation strategy to perform graph data augmentation. Then we leverage consistency regularization to optimize the prediction consistency of unlabeled nodes across different data augmentations. Extensive experiments on graph benchmark datasets suggest that GRAND significantly outperforms state-of-the-art GNN baselines on semi-supervised node classification. Finally, we show that GRAND mitigates the issues of over-smoothing and non-robustness, exhibiting better generalization behavior than existing GNNs. The source code of GRAND is publicly available at https://github.com/Grand20/grand.
Data augmentation aims to generate new and synthetic features from the original data, which can identify a better representation of data and improve the performance and generalizability of downstream tasks. However, data augmentation for graph-based models remains a challenging problem, as graph data is more complex than traditional data, which consists of two features with different properties: graph topology and node attributes. In this paper, we study the problem of graph data augmentation for Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) in the context of improving the node embeddings for semi-supervised node classification. Specifically, we conduct cosine similarity based cross operation on the original features to create new graph features, including new node attributes and new graph topologies, and we combine them as new pairwise inputs for specific GCNs. Then, we propose an attentional integrating model to weighted sum the hidden node embeddings encoded by these GCNs into the final node embeddings. We also conduct a disparity constraint on these hidden node embeddings when training to ensure that non-redundant information is captured from different features. Experimental results on five real-world datasets show that our method improves the classification accuracy with a clear margin (+2.5% - +84.2%) than the original GCN model.
Network embedding, aiming to project a network into a low-dimensional space, is increasingly becoming a focus of network research. Semi-supervised network embedding takes advantage of labeled data, and has shown promising performance. However, existing semi-supervised methods would get unappealing results in the completely-imbalanced label setting where some classes have no labeled nodes at all. To alleviate this, we propose two novel semi-supervised network embedding methods. The first one is a shallow method named RSDNE. Specifically, to benefit from the completely-imbalanced labels, RSDNE guarantees both intra-class similarity and inter-class dissimilarity in an approximate way. The other method is RECT which is a new class of graph neural networks. Different from RSDNE, to benefit from the completely-imbalanced labels, RECT explores the class-semantic knowledge. This enables RECT to handle networks with node features and multi-label setting. Experimental results on several real-world datasets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed methods.
We propose a data-efficient Gaussian process-based Bayesian approach to the semi-supervised learning problem on graphs. The proposed model shows extremely competitive performance when compared to the state-of-the-art graph neural networks on semi-supervised learning benchmark experiments, and outperforms the neural networks in active learning experiments where labels are scarce. Furthermore, the model does not require a validation data set for early stopping to control over-fitting. Our model can be viewed as an instance of empirical distribution regression weighted locally by network connectivity. We further motivate the intuitive construction of the model with a Bayesian linear model interpretation where the node features are filtered by an operator related to the graph Laplacian. The method can be easily implemented by adapting off-the-shelf scalable variational inference algorithms for Gaussian processes.
Network embedding aims to embed nodes into a low-dimensional space, while capturing the network structures and properties. Although quite a few promising network embedding methods have been proposed, most of them focus on static networks. In fact, temporal networks, which usually evolve over time in terms of microscopic and macroscopic dynamics, are ubiquitous. The micro-dynamics describe the formation process of network structures in a detailed manner, while the macro-dynamics refer to the evolution pattern of the network scale. Both micro- and macro-dynamics are the key factors to network evolution; however, how to elegantly capture both of them for temporal network embedding, especially macro-dynamics, has not yet been well studied. In this paper, we propose a novel temporal network embedding method with micro- and macro-dynamics, named $rm{M^2DNE}$. Specifically, for micro-dynamics, we regard the establishments of edges as the occurrences of chronological events and propose a temporal attention point process to capture the formation process of network structures in a fine-grained manner. For macro-dynamics, we define a general dynamics equation parameterized with network embeddings to capture the inherent evolution pattern and impose constraints in a higher structural level on network embeddings. Mutual evolutions of micro- and macro-dynamics in a temporal network alternately affect the process of learning node embeddings. Extensive experiments on three real-world temporal networks demonstrate that $rm{M^2DNE}$ significantly outperforms the state-of-the-arts not only in traditional tasks, e.g., network reconstruction, but also in temporal tendency-related tasks, e.g., scale prediction.
