Knowledge graph is ubiquitous and plays an important role in many real-world applications, including recommender systems, question answering, fact-checking, and so on. However, most of the knowledge graphs are incomplete which can hamper their practical usage. Fortunately, knowledge graph completion (KGC) can mitigate this problem by inferring missing edges in the knowledge graph according to the existing information. In this paper, we propose a novel KGC method named ABM (Attention-Based Message passing) which focuses on predicting the relation between any two entities in a knowledge graph. The proposed ABM consists of three integral parts, including (1) context embedding, (2) structure embedding, and (3) path embedding. In the context embedding, the proposed ABM generalizes the existing message passing neural network to update the node embedding and the edge embedding to assimilate the knowledge of nodes' neighbors, which captures the relative role information of the edge that we want to predict. In the structure embedding, the proposed method overcomes the shortcomings of the existing GNN method (i.e., most methods ignore the structural similarity between nodes.) by assigning different attention weights to different nodes while doing the aggregation. Path embedding generates paths between any two entities and treats these paths as sequences. Then, the sequence can be used as the input of the Transformer to update the embedding of the knowledge graph to gather the global role of the missing edges. By utilizing these three mutually complementary strategies, the proposed ABM is able to capture both the local and global information which in turn leads to a superb performance. Experiment results show that ABM outperforms baseline methods on a wide range of datasets.

Exploiting Node Content for Multiview Graph Convolutional Network and Adversarial Regularization
Network representation learning (NRL) is crucial in the area of graph learning. Recently, graph autoencoders and its variants have gained much attention and popularity among various types of node embedding approaches. Most existing graph autoencoder-based methods aim to minimize the reconstruction errors of the input network while not explicitly considering the semantic relatedness between nodes. In this paper, we propose a novel network embedding method which models the consistency across different views of networks. More specifically, we create a second view from the input network which captures the relation between nodes based on node content and enforce the latent representations from the two views to be consistent by incorporating a multiview adversarial regularization module. The experimental studies on benchmark datasets prove the effectiveness of this method, and demonstrate that our method compares favorably with the state-of-the-art algorithms on challenging tasks such as link prediction and node clustering. We also evaluate our method on a real-world application, i.e., 30-day unplanned ICU readmission prediction, and achieve promising results compared with several baseline methods.

null (Ed.)Learning the low-dimensional representations of graphs (i.e., network embedding) plays a critical role in network analysis and facilitates many downstream tasks. Recently graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have revolutionized the field of network embedding, and led to state-of-the-art performance in network analysis tasks such as link prediction and node classification. Nevertheless, most of the existing GCN-based network embedding methods are proposed for unsigned networks. However, in the real world, some of the networks are signed, where the links are annotated with different polarities, e.g., positive vs. negative. Since negative links may have different properties from the positive ones and can also significantly affect the quality of network embedding. Thus in this paper, we propose a novel network embedding framework SNEA to learn Signed Network Embedding via graph Attention. In particular, we propose a masked self-attentional layer, which leverages self-attention mechanism to estimate the importance coefficient for pair of nodes connected by different type of links during the embedding aggregation process. Then SNEA utilizes the masked self-attentional layers to aggregate more important information from neighboring nodes to generate the node embeddings based on balance theory. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework through signed link prediction task on several real-world signed network datasets.more » « less

Real-world networked systems often show dynamic properties with continuously evolving network nodes and topology over time. When learning from dynamic networks, it is beneficial to correlate all temporal networks to fully capture the similarity/relevance between nodes. Recent work for dynamic network representation learning typically trains each single network independently and imposes relevance regularization on the network learning at different time steps. Such a snapshot scheme fails to leverage topology similarity between temporal networks for progressive training. In addition to the static node relationships within each network, nodes could show similar variation patterns (e.g., change of local structures) within the temporal network sequence. Both static node structures and temporal variation patterns can be combined to better characterize node affinities for unified embedding learning. In this paper, we propose Graph Attention Evolving Networks (GAEN) for dynamic network embedding with preserved similarities between nodes derived from their temporal variation patterns. Instead of training graph attention weights for each network independently, we allow model weights to share and evolve across all temporal networks based on their respective topology discrepancies. Experiments and validations, on four real-world dynamic graphs, demonstrate that GAEN outperforms the state-of-the-art in both link prediction and node classification tasks.

Network embedding has been an effective tool to analyze heterogeneous networks (HNs) by representing nodes in a low-dimensional space. Although many recent methods have been proposed for representation learning of HNs, there is still much room for improvement. Random walks based methods are currently popular methods to learn network embedding; however, they are random and limited by the length of sampled walks, and have dif culty capturing network structural information. Some recent researches proposed using meta paths to express the sample relationship in HNs. Another popular graph learning model, the graph convolutional network (GCN) is known to be capable of better exploitation of network topology, but the current design of GCN is intended for homogenous networks. This paper proposes a novel combination of meta-graph and graph convolution, the meta-graph based graph convolutional networks (MGCN). To fully capture the complex long semantic information, MGCN utilizes different meta-graphs in HNs. As different meta-graphs express different semantic relationships, MGCN learns the weights of different meta-graphs to make up for the loss of semantics when applying GCN. In addition, we improve the current convolution design by adding node self-signi cance. To validate our model in learning feature representation, we present comprehensive experiments on four real-world datasets and two representation tasks: classi cation and link prediction. WMGCN's representations can improve accuracy scores by up to around 10% in comparison to other popular representation learning models. What's more, WMGCN'feature learning outperforms other popular baselines. The experimental results clearly show our model is superior over other state-of-the-art representation learning algorithms.more » « less

Network embedding has become the cornerstone of a variety of mining tasks, such as classification, link prediction, clustering, anomaly detection and many more, thanks to its superior ability to encode the intrinsic network characteristics in a compact low-dimensional space. Most of the existing methods focus on a single network and/or a single resolution, which generate embeddings of different network objects (node/subgraph/network) from different networks separately. A fundamental limitation with such methods is that the intrinsic relationship across different networks (e.g., two networks share same or similar subgraphs) and that across different resolutions (e.g., the node-subgraph membership) are ignored, resulting in disparate embeddings. Consequentially, it leads to sub-optimal performance or even becomes inapplicable for some downstream mining tasks (e.g., role classification, network alignment. etc.). In this paper, we propose a unified framework MrMine to learn the representations of objects from multiple networks at three complementary resolutions (i.e., network, subgraph and node) simultaneously. The key idea is to construct the cross-resolution cross-network context for each object. The proposed method bears two distinctive features. First, it enables and/or boosts various multi-network downstream mining tasks by having embeddings at different resolutions from different networks in the same embedding space. Second, Our method is efficient and scalable, with a O(nlog(n)) time complexity for the base algorithm and a linear time complexity w.r.t. the number of nodes and edges of input networks for the accelerated version. Extensive experiments on real-world data show that our methods (1) are able to enable and enhance a variety of multi-network mining tasks, and (2) scale up to million-node networks.more » « less
