We address the problem of graph regression using graph convolutional neural networks and permutation invariant representation. Many graph neural network algorithms can be abstracted as a series of message passing functions between the nodes, ultimately producing a set of latent features for each node. Processing these latent features to produce a single estimate over the entire graph is dependent on how the nodes are ordered in the graph’s representation. We propose a permutation invariant mapping that produces graph representations that are invariant to any ordering of the nodes. This mapping can serve as a pivotal piece in leveraging graph convolutional networks for graph classification and graph regression problems. We tested out this method and validated our solution on the QM9 dataset.

A First Step Toward Incremental Evolution of Convolutional Neural Networks
We introduce a novel algorithm – ConvNEAT – that evolves a convolutional neural network (CNN) from a minimal architecture. Convolutional and dense nodes are evolved without restriction to the number of nodes or connections between nodes. The proposed work advances the field with ConvNEAT’s ability to evolve arbitrary minimal architectures with multi-dimensional inputs using GPU processing.

null (Ed.)Networked data often demonstrate the Pareto principle (i.e., 80/20 rule) with skewed class distributions, where most vertices belong to a few majority classes and minority classes only contain a handful of instances. When presented with imbalanced class distributions, existing graph embedding learning tends to bias to nodes from majority classes, leaving nodes from minority classes under-trained. In this paper, we propose Dual-Regularized Graph Convolutional Networks (DR-GCN) to handle multi-class imbalanced graphs, where two types of regularization are imposed to tackle class imbalanced representation learning. To ensure that all classes are equally represented, we propose a class-conditioned adversarial training process to facilitate the separation of labeled nodes. Meanwhile, to maintain training equilibrium (i.e., retaining quality of fit across all classes), we force unlabeled nodes to follow a similar latent distribution to the labeled nodes by minimizing their difference in the embedding space. Experiments on real-world imbalanced graphs demonstrate that DR-GCN outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in node classification, graph clustering, and visualization.more » « less

Measuring importance of nodes in a graph is one of the key aspects in graph analysis. Betweenness centrality (BC) measures the amount of influence that a node has over the flow of information in a graph. However, the computation complexity of calculating BC is extremely high with large-scale graphs. This is especially true when analyzing the road networks with millions of nodes and edges. In this study, we propose a deep learning architecture RoadCaps to estimate BC with sub-second latencies. RoadCaps aggregates features from neighbor nodes using Graph Convolutional Networks and estimates the node level BC by mapping low-level concept to high-level information using Capsule Networks. Our empirical benchmarks demonstrates that RoadCaps outperforms base models such as GCN and GCNFCL in both accuracy and robustness. On average, RoadCaps generates a node’s BC value in 7.5 milliseconds.more » « less

Abstract Graphene, with its two linearly dispersing Dirac points with opposite windings, is the minimal topological nodal configuration in the hexagonal Brillouin zone. Topological semimetals with higher-order nodes beyond the Dirac points have recently attracted considerable interest due to their rich chiral physics and their potential for the design of next-generation integrated devices. Here we report the experimental realization of the topological semimetal with quadratic nodes in a photonic microring lattice. Our structure hosts a robust second-order node at the center of the Brillouin zone and two Dirac points at the Brillouin zone boundary—the second minimal configuration, next to graphene, that satisfies the Nielsen–Ninomiya theorem. The symmetry-protected quadratic nodal point, together with the Dirac points, leads to the coexistence of massive and massless components in a hybrid chiral particle. This gives rise to unique transport properties, which we demonstrate by directly imaging simultaneous Klein and anti-Klein tunnelling in the microring lattice.more » « less
