Graph Contrastive Learning (GCL) has shown promising performance in graph representation learning (GRL) without the supervision of manual annotations. GCL can generate graph-level embeddings by maximizing the Mutual Information (MI) between different augmented views of the same graph (positive pairs). However, we identify an obstacle that the optimization of InfoNCE loss only concentrates on a few embeddings dimensions, limiting the distinguishability of embeddings in downstream graph classification tasks. This paper proposes an effective graph complementary contrastive learning approach named GraphCoCo to tackle the above issue. Specifically, we set the embedding of the first augmented view as the anchor embedding to localize "highlighted" dimensions (i.e., the dimensions contribute most in similarity measurement). Then remove these dimensions in the embeddings of the second augmented view to discover neglected complementary representations. Therefore, the combination of anchor and complementary embeddings significantly improves the performance in downstream tasks. Comprehensive experiments on various benchmark datasets are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of GraphCoCo, and the results show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art methods. Source code will be made publicly available.
