In recent years, substantial progress has been made on Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs). However, the computing of GCN usually requires a large memory space for keeping the entire graph. In consequence, GCN is not flexible enough, especially for large scale graphs in complex real-world applications. Fortunately, methods based on Matrix Factorization (MF) naturally support constructing mini-batches, and thus are more friendly to distributed computing compared with GCN. Accordingly, in this paper, we analyze the connections between GCN and MF, and simplify GCN as matrix factorization with unitization and co-training. Furthermore, under the guidance of our analysis, we propose an alternative model to GCN named Unitized and Co-training Matrix Factorization (UCMF). Extensive experiments have been conducted on several real-world datasets. On the task of semi-supervised node classification, the experimental results illustrate that UCMF achieves similar or superior performances compared with GCN. Meanwhile, distributed UCMF significantly outperforms distributed GCN methods, which shows that UCMF can greatly benefit large scale and complex real-world applications. Moreover, we have also conducted experiments on a typical task of graph embedding, i.e., community detection, and the proposed UCMF model outperforms several representative graph embedding models.

Graph neural networks (GNN) has been demonstrated to be effective in classifying graph structures. To further improve the graph representation learning ability, hierarchical GNN has been explored. It leverages the differentiable pooling to cluster no des into fixed groups, and generates a coarse-grained structure accompanied with the shrinking of the original graph. However, such clustering would discard some graph information and achieve the suboptimal results. It is because the node inherently has different characteristics or roles, and two non-isomorphic graphs may have the same coarse-grained structure that cannot be distinguished after pooling. To compensate the loss caused by coarse-grained clustering and further advance GNN, we propose a multi-channel graph convolutional networks (MuchGCN). It is motivated by the convolutional neural networks, at which a series of channels are encoded to preserve the comprehensive characteristics of the input image. Thus, we define the specific graph convolutions to learn a series of graph channels at each layer, and pool graphs iteratively to encode the hierarchical structures. Experiments have been carefully carried out to demonstrate the superiority of MuchGCN over the state-of-the-art graph classification algorithms.
As a powerful representation paradigm for networked and multi-typed data, the heterogeneous information network (HIN) is ubiquitous. Meanwhile, defining proper relevance measures has always been a fundamental problem and of great pragmatic importance for network mining tasks. Inspired by our probabilistic interpretation of existing path-based relevance measures, we propose to study HIN relevance from a probabilistic perspective. We also identify, from real-world data, and propose to model cross-meta-path synergy, which is a characteristic important for defining path-based HIN relevance and has not been modeled by existing methods. A generative model is established to derive a novel path-based relevance measure, which is data-driven and tailored for each HIN. We develop an inference algorithm to find the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimate of the model parameters, which entails non-trivial tricks. Experiments on two real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model and relevance measure.
Cross-platform account matching plays a significant role in social network analytics, and is beneficial for a wide range of applications. However, existing methods either heavily rely on high-quality user generated content (including user profiles) o r suffer from data insufficiency problem if only focusing on network topology, which brings researchers into an insoluble dilemma of model selection. In this paper, to address this problem, we propose a novel framework that considers multi-level graph convolutions on both local network structure and hypergraph structure in a unified manner. The proposed method overcomes data insufficiency problem of existing work and does not necessarily rely on user demographic information. Moreover, to adapt the proposed method to be capable of handling large-scale social networks, we propose a two-phase space reconciliation mechanism to align the embedding spaces in both network partitioning based parallel training and account matching across different social networks. Extensive experiments have been conducted on two large-scale real-life social networks. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art models with a big margin.
Graph convolutional network (GCN) is generalization of convolutional neural network (CNN) to work with arbitrarily structured graphs. A binary adjacency matrix is commonly used in training a GCN. Recently, the attention mechanism allows the network t o learn a dynamic and adaptive aggregation of the neighborhood. We propose a new GCN model on the graphs where edges are characterized in multiple views or precisely in terms of multiple relationships. For instance, in chemical graph theory, compound structures are often represented by the hydrogen-depleted molecular graph where nodes correspond to atoms and edges correspond to chemical bonds. Multiple attributes can be important to characterize chemical bonds, such as atom pair (the types of atoms that a bond connects), aromaticity, and whether a bond is in a ring. The different attributes lead to different graph representations for the same molecule. There is growing interests in both chemistry and machine learning fields to directly learn molecular properties of compounds from the molecular graph, instead of from fingerprints predefined by chemists. The proposed GCN model, which we call edge attention-based multi-relational GCN (EAGCN), jointly learns attention weights and node features in graph convolution. For each bond attribute, a real-valued attention matrix is used to replace the binary adjacency matrix. By designing a dictionary for the edge attention, and forming the attention matrix of each molecule by looking up the dictionary, the EAGCN exploits correspondence between bonds in different molecules. The prediction of compound properties is based on the aggregated node features, which is independent of the varying molecule (graph) size. We demonstrate the efficacy of the EAGCN on multiple chemical datasets: Tox21, HIV, Freesolv, and Lipophilicity, and interpret the resultant attention weights.

Community structures detection in signed network is very important for understanding not only the topology structures of signed networks, but also the functions of them, such as information diffusion, epidemic spreading, etc. In this paper, we develo p a joint nonnegative matrix factorization model to detect community structures. In addition, we propose modified partition density to evaluate the quality of community structures. We use it to determine the appropriate number of communities. The effectiveness of our approach is demonstrated based on both synthetic and real-world networks.
