Iterative Deep Graph Learning for Graph Neural Networks: Better and Robust Node Embeddings
share
In this paper, we propose an end-to-end graph learning framework, namely Iterative Deep Graph Learning (IDGL), for jointly and iteratively learning graph structure and graph embedding. The key rationale of IDGL is to learn a better graph structure based on better node embeddings, and vice versa (i.e., better node embeddings based on a better graph structure). Our iterative method dynamically stops when the learned graph approaches close enough to the graph optimized for the prediction task. In addition, we cast the graph learning problem as a similarity metric learning problem and leverage adaptive graph regularization for controlling the quality of the learned graph. Finally, combining the anchor-based approximation technique, we further propose a scalable version of IDGL, namely IDGL-ANCH, which significantly reduces the time and space complexity of IDGL without compromising the performance. Our extensive experiments on nine benchmarks show that our proposed IDGL models can consistently outperform or match state-of-the-art baselines. Furthermore, IDGL can be more robust to adversarial graphs and cope with both transductive and inductive learning.
