A graph residual generation network for node classification based on multi-information aggregation

Abstract

The key to improving the performance of graph convolutional networks (GCN) is to fully explore the correlation between neighboring and distant information. Aiming at the over-smoothing problem of GCN, in order to make full use of the relationship among features, graphs and labels, a graph residual generation network based on multi-information aggregation (MIA-GRGN) is proposed. Firstly, aiming at the defects of GCN, we design a deep initial residual graph convolution network (DIRGCN), which connects the initial input through residuals, so that each layer node retains part of the information of the initial features, ensuring the localization of the graph structure and effectively alleviating the problem of over-smoothing. Secondly, we propose a random graph generation method (RGGM) by utilizing graph edge sampling and negative edge sampling, and optimize the supervision loss function of DIRGCN in the form of generation framework. Finally, applying RGGM and DIRGCN as inference modules for modeling hypotheses and obtaining approximate posterior distributions of unknown labels, an optimized loss function is obtained, we construct a multi-information aggregation MIA-GRGN that combines graph structure, node characteristics and label joint distribution. Experiments on benchmark graph classification datasets show that MIA-GRGN achieves better classification results compared with the benchmark models and mainstream models, especially for datasets with less dense edge relationships between nodes.
