Network embedding is aimed at mapping nodes in a network into low-dimensional vector representations. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have received widespread attention and lead to state-of-the-art performance in learning node representations. However, most GNNs only work in unsigned networks, where only positive links exist. It is not trivial to transfer these models to signed directed networks, which are widely observed in the real world yet less studied. In this paper, we first review two fundamental sociological theories (i.e., status theory and balance theory) and conduct empirical studies on real-world datasets to analyze the social mechanism in signed directed networks. Guided by related sociological theories, we propose a novel Signed Directed Graph Neural Networks model named SDGNN to learn node embeddings for signed directed networks. The proposed model simultaneously reconstructs link signs, link directions, and signed directed triangles. We validate our models effectiveness on five real-world datasets, which are commonly used as the benchmark for signed network embedding. Experiments demonstrate the proposed model outperforms existing models, including feature-based methods, network embedding methods, and several GNN methods.

Node representation learning for signed directed networks has received considerable attention in many real-world applications such as link sign prediction, node classification and node recommendation. The challenge lies in how to adequately encode th e complex topological information of the networks. Recent studies mainly focus on preserving the first-order network topology which indicates the closeness relationships of nodes. However, these methods generally fail to capture the high-order topology which indicates the local structures of nodes and serves as an essential characteristic of the network topology. In addition, for the first-order topology, the additional value of non-existent links is largely ignored. In this paper, we propose to learn more representative node embeddings by simultaneously capturing the first-order and high-order topology in signed directed networks. In particular, we reformulate the representation learning problem on signed directed networks from a variational auto-encoding perspective and further develop a decoupled variational embedding (DVE) method. DVE leverages a specially designed auto-encoder structure to capture both the first-order and high-order topology of signed directed networks, and thus learns more representative node embedding. Extensive experiments are conducted on three widely used real-world datasets. Comprehensive results on both link sign prediction and node recommendation task demonstrate the effectiveness of DVE. Qualitative results and analysis are also given to provide a better understanding of DVE.

In this paper, we perform the initial and comprehensive study on the problem of measuring node relevance on signed social networks. We design numerous relevance measurements for signed social networks from both local and global perspectives and inves tigate the connection between signed relevance measurements, balance theory and signed network properties. Experimental results are conducted to study the effects of signed relevance measurements with four real-world datasets on signed network analysis tasks.
Signed networks are such social networks having both positive and negative links. A lot of theories and algorithms have been developed to model such networks (e.g., balance theory). However, previous work mainly focuses on the unipartite signed netwo rks where the nodes have the same type. Signed bipartite networks are different from classical signed networks, which contain two different node sets and signed links between two node sets. Signed bipartite networks can be commonly found in many fields including business, politics, and academics, but have been less studied. In this work, we firstly define the signed relationship of the same set of nodes and provide a new perspective for analyzing signed bipartite networks. Then we do some comprehensive analysis of balance theory from two perspectives on several real-world datasets. Specifically, in the peer review dataset, we find that the ratio of balanced isomorphism in signed bipartite networks increased after rebuttal phases. Guided by these two perspectives, we propose a novel Signed Bipartite Graph Neural Networks (SBGNNs) to learn node embeddings for signed bipartite networks. SBGNNs follow most GNNs message-passing scheme, but we design new message functions, aggregation functions, and update functions for signed bipartite networks. We validate the effectiveness of our model on four real-world datasets on Link Sign Prediction task, which is the main machine learning task for signed networks. Experimental results show that our SBGNN model achieves significant improvement compared with strong baseline methods, including feature-based methods and network embedding methods.
Dynamic graph representation learning is a task to learn node embeddings over dynamic networks, and has many important applications, including knowledge graphs, citation networks to social networks. Graphs of this type are usually large-scale but onl y a small subset of vertices are related in downstream tasks. Current methods are too expensive to this setting as the complexity is at best linear-dependent on both the number of nodes and edges. In this paper, we propose a new method, namely Dynamic Personalized PageRank Embedding (textsc{DynamicPPE}) for learning a target subset of node representations over large-scale dynamic networks. Based on recent advances in local node embedding and a novel computation of dynamic personalized PageRank vector (PPV), textsc{DynamicPPE} has two key ingredients: 1) the per-PPV complexity is $mathcal{O}(m bar{d} / epsilon)$ where $m,bar{d}$, and $epsilon$ are the number of edges received, average degree, global precision error respectively. Thus, the per-edge event update of a single node is only dependent on $bar{d}$ in average; and 2) by using these high quality PPVs and hash kernels, the learned embeddings have properties of both locality and global consistency. These two make it possible to capture the evolution of graph structure effectively. Experimental results demonstrate both the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method over large-scale dynamic networks. We apply textsc{DynamicPPE} to capture the embedding change of Chinese cities in the Wikipedia graph during this ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic). Our results show that these representations successfully encode the dynamics of the Wikipedia graph.
Real-world networks and knowledge graphs are usually heterogeneous networks. Representation learning on heterogeneous networks is not only a popular but a pragmatic research field. The main challenge comes from the heterogeneity -- the diverse types of nodes and edges. Besides, for a given node in a HIN, the significance of a neighborhood node depends not only on the structural distance but semantics. How to effectively capture both structural and semantic relations is another challenge. The current state-of-the-art methods are based on the algorithm of meta-path and therefore have a serious disadvantage -- the performance depends on the arbitrary choosing of meta-path(s). However, the selection of meta-path(s) is experience-based and time-consuming. In this work, we propose a novel meta-path-free representation learning on heterogeneous networks, namely Heterogeneous graph Convolutional Networks (HCN). The proposed method fuses the heterogeneity and develops a $k$-strata algorithm ($k$ is an integer) to capture the $k$-hop structural and semantic information in heterogeneous networks. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to break out of the confinement of meta-paths for representation learning on heterogeneous networks. We carry out extensive experiments on three real-world heterogeneous networks. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms the current state-of-the-art methods in a variety of analytic tasks.
